5
Thank you.
6
come into the studio.
7
Today we'll be going to London to the National Museum, which holds approximately five events a year,
8
and this particular one is always popular because it features work by student artists.
9
This year is no exception, as everything is the work of final year art students from a local college.
10
You'll be surprised at the variety of things you can see.
11
Exhibits range from curtains to glasswork, and I understand there are a a total of nearly 2,000 works on display.
12
There is an excellent use of raw materials and of course many exhibits demonstrate how industrial technology can be employed in art.
13
If you want to buy any of the exhibits, it will cost you anything from £25 up to £2,000.

17
and suddenly hear a noise that sounds to them like a gun being fired.
18
They rush into the next carriage, which is completely empty, with its doors swinging backwards and forwards.
19
Then in the restaurant car, they ask the first person they meet, who happens to be a waiter, if he also heard the sound.
20
No, he says, and goes on to tell them that an old lady is in the carriage.
21
He just saw her going back in there.
22
But when they return, of course, she's gone.
23
Some say the lady never existed, but others are sure they saw her.
24
Who's telling the truth, or is everyone on the train lying?
25
Find out at 8 o'clock tonight.
26
It's a brilliant play by Porton and also his last before he moved on to writing for films.
27
Finally, for those of you who like sailing, Business Scenes at 9.30pm brings you the Unsinkable Boat and a chance to meet its maker,
28
Canadian businessman Peter Field.
29
In 1995, Peter was a manager in a computer company, but he left that job to go on a world cruise.
30
He had wanted a stress-free life, but ended up back in the rat race building boats.
31
His new company has many products, including luxury boats costing from one to two million dollars,
32
which Peter claims will suffer no serious damage even if they hit an iceberg at full speed.
33
It's all in the type of metal you use, as he explains tonight.
34
And we also hear about Peter's unusual collection.
35
You would think that a man in his line of work would collect model boats and ships, rather than the old maps, which are his real passion.
36
If you tune in this evening, you'll find out how he started his collection and how he hunts for items to add to it.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
