Création de la leçon...
1
The elderly are found across all countries and cultures, and their numbers are increasing as people live longer.
2
There are over 7 billion people in the world today.
3
And this number could reach 9 billion by the year 2050.
4
There will be more elderly in the world than ever before.
5
We will see aging populations all over the world in the 21st century.
6
In places like the United States, Europe, even China, we see populations that are getting much older, much faster.
7
But how old is old?
8
In the natural world, there are animals that live for centuries.
9
Some researchers believe that some whales can live for 200 years or more.
10
Giant tortoises are known to live for 150 years or more.
11
Elephants are known to live for up to 70 years.
12
Humans live longer than most animals.
13
They can live to a maximum of about 120 years.
14
Of course, most humans don't live that long.
15
But there are places in the world where people live longer and healthier lives.
16
This is Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy.
17
It has a very high number of centenarians.
18
These are people who live to see their 100th birthday.
19
One example is Antonio Bruno, who was still healthy and happy at 103 years old.
20
National Geographic magazine writer Dan Buettner visited some of the world's longest living communities to discover the secrets of longevity.
21
He went to Okinawa, where people live longer and healthier lives than anywhere else in the world.
22
They live about 22% longer than Americans.
23
They have about four times as many hundred-year-olds than we do.
24
Buettner found that centenarians' lifestyles were similar, even if their cultures were different.
25
They tend to stay active and eat locally grown food.
26
They have hobbies, like this Okinawan woman who works in her garden every day.
27
Centenarians also have access to good medical care.
28
And they have the support of their friends and family.
29
These centenarians seem to be very healthy.
30
But how much longer will such healthy lifestyles last?
31
Younger people are eating more processed foods and may be less active than their parents and grandparents.
32
With increasing globalization, these traditional lifestyles are fast disappearing.
33
People today are turning to medical science to help live longer lives.
34
Some scientists have started to treat aging as a disease instead of a natural part of human life.
35
For now, though, there are few centenarians, like this 102-year-old, in the world.
36
However, if we follow their example, eat healthy, stay active, and keep our families close,
37
then we may see more centenarians in our future.
38
And our future may be very long indeed.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
