1
Omega File 522 Galapagos, Ecuador Got your sun hats? said Ala.
2
Why? asked Jude.
3
Where are we going now?
4
South America, Ala said.
5
Big place, said Jude.
6
How about Chile?
7
I like Chile.
8
No, it's Ecuador.
9
You're going to the Galapagos Islands, a thousand kilometers out in the Pacific Ocean.
10
Oh, right, Hawker said.
11
Are you going to tell us Why?
12
Alla looked unhappy.
13
There's something strange going on.
14
EDI is getting emails every day from the Galapagos.
15
They're all about Isabella Island, and they all say things like this.
16
He gave Hawker and Jude a piece of paper.
17
Important news, important news.
18
A new time is coming for our planet.
19
The first visitors are now on Isabella Island, Galapagos.
20
Don't fight them.
21
Don't be afraid of them.
22
Be friendly Tell your government Now Orca and Jude looked at Arla And then laughed
23
There are a lot of crazy people out there on the internet Said Jude You don't believe this one Do you?
24
Perhaps it's crazy And perhaps it's not said Alla.
25
But when we email back with questions, they don't answer.
26
The Americans are watching the island by satellite, but they don't want to tell us why.
27
There are two Australian ships going there.
28
The Mexicans are getting very excited, and the Ecuadorians are saying, Nothing.
29
Something is happening on Isabella.
30
What is it?
31
We want to know.
32
From Brussels to the Galapagos is a long way.
33
Hawker and Jude took a plane to Cuba, A second plane to Ecuador,
34
then a third plane out to Bultra Island in the Galapagos.
35
When they got out of the plane, a wall of hot air hit them.
36
Whew, said Hawker.
37
He put on his sun hat quickly.
38
They went across to Santa Cruz Island and down to Puerto Ayora.
39
There, they found a boat, the Sea Lion, to take them to Isabella, about ninety kilometers away.
40
At first, the boatman, Gonzalo, did not want to take them.
41
My boat can take ten people, he said.
42
It's a very good boat, but very expensive for only two people.
43
Jude smiled at him.
44
Not for two rich people.
45
Rich, said Hawker.
46
It's not our money.
47
Ouch!
48
Jude hit him hard on the arm.
49
We're on holiday, she told Gonzalo.
50
We want to see the giant tortoises on Isabella, she looked at Hawker.
51
Don't we?
52
Uh, yes, that's right, said Hawker quickly.
53
We're very interested in the giant tortoises.
54
On the way to Isabella Island, Jude read a book about the Galapagos.
55
and Hawker watched the sea.
56
Isabella is a very young island, Jude told him, and it has,
57
listen to this, six volcanoes.
58
One erupted only two years ago.
59
Oh, that's great, said Hawker.
60
Crazy emails, strange visitors in the middle of the Pacific, and now erupting volcanoes.
61
Thank you, Arla.
62
Not many people lived on Isabella, and Puerto Villamil was usually a sleepy place.
63
But when the sea lion arrived, there were about fifty people down by the sea.
64
There were two small boats,
65
and on them Hawker and Jude could see chairs and tables,
66
beds, boxes, and bags, and a bicycle.
67
Gonzalo called out in Spanish to the people on the boats, then turned to Hawker and Jude.
68
"'Lots of people are leaving Isabella,' he said.
69
"'They are afraid.' "'Afraid of what?' asked Jude.
70
"'Go and talk to them, Hawker.
71
"'Your Spanish is better than mine.' "'Hawker came back half an hour later.
72
"'You're not going to believe this,' he told Jude.
73
the people here say there's a spaceship on Isabella.
74
It came down ten days ago,
75
right down inside Volcano Alcedo, and it's still there.
76
How do they know that? said Jude.
77
There's an Australian, Dr. Jim Miller, up on Alcedo.
78
He works here, studying giant tortoises.
79
He saw the spaceship, and now he's waiting for the visitors to come out.
80
So, the visitors in those emails are extraterrestrials,
81
ETs, little green men from another planet.
82
Oh dear, said Jude Can we go home now, Hawker?
83
Hawker laughed No, we can't We climb Volcano Alcedo,
84
he said Talk to Dr. Miller Say hello to the ETs Oh dear,
85
Jude said again I was afraid of that Gonzalo took them in the sea lion up to Shipton Cove.
86
There, very early the next morning, Hawker and Jude began their climb up the volcano.
87
There is a path, Gonzalo told them,
88
but it is five hours to the top and hard climbing and very, very hot.
89
You must carry water, two liters for one person for one day.
90
You must sleep at the top and come down tomorrow.
91
but not when the sun is high in the sky.
92
And be careful, please.
93
Careful of the spaceship visitors, you mean, said Jude.
94
I don't know about spaceships,
95
smiled Gonzalo, but Volcano Alcedo is always a little excited.
96
She is always doing something new.
97
It was a very hard climb.
98
After two hours, they stopped under some trees.
99
They drank some water and looked out over the blue sea.
100
The black volcanic rocks under their feet were hot from the sun.
101
it's so beautiful here said Jude hmm yes
102
and no said Hawker then hey Jude look that animal over there, by that rock.
103
What is it?
104
Oh, wow, whispered Jude.
105
It's an iguana, a Galapagos iguana.
106
Isn't he wonderful?
107
The iguana stared at them with its hot orange eyes and did not move.
108
Its body was about a meter long and an orange-yellowy color.
109
It looks about a thousand years old, said Hawker, a very strange animal.
110
Everything about this island is strange, said Jude.
111
they climbed and climbed and the sun got hotter
112
and hotter after three more hours they came to the top
113
and looked down into the great crater of alcedo 200 meters deep and seven kilometers across
114
to the north and the south they could see more volcanoes
115
and across the sea to the west the island of fernandina
116
but they could not see dr miller or his camp we need to go round the crater to the south," said Hawker.
117
"'It's another two hours' walk,' the villagers said.
118
It was hard walking over the black lava rock, and once Hawker nearly fell.
119
Jude caught his arm.
120
"'Don't break a leg here,' she said.
121
"'I don't want to carry you back down to the boat.' "'Why not?' said Hawker.
122
"'I carried you home once.' "'We weren't on top of a volcano then,' said Jude.
123
At last, they saw Dr. Miller's camp, and ten minutes later, they arrived.
124
Dr. Miller was short, very brown, and angry.
125
"'Go away!' he shouted.
126
"'You're Americans, aren't you?' No, we aren't, said Hawker.
127
We're European.
128
How do you do, Dr. Miller?
129
What are you doing here, he said angrily.
130
We'd like to talk to you, said Jude quietly, about the spaceship down in the crater.
131
Why are you so angry?
132
Because nobody listens to me, said Dr. Miller.
133
Nobody believes me.
134
The Americans say, oh, crazy man.
135
The Australian government says, get some sleep.
136
What can I do?
137
Something very important is happening on this planet and nobody is listening Well,
138
we're here now and we're listening,
139
Jude said Dr. Miller looked at them Who do you work for?
140
Europe, said Hawker Europe is very interested in this spaceship Please,
141
tell us about it Ah,
142
the emails did get through then Said Dr. Miller Who did the emails come from?
143
Asked Hawker Ecuadorian friends Said Dr. Miller Over on Santa Cruz Look,
144
I've got some beer here You want one?
145
They sat on the black lava rocks under the hot sun and drank hot beer.
146
Below them, clouds of smoke and steam moved this way and that way across the crater.
147
And was there, under those clouds, a spaceship from another planet?
148
it sometimes i think i can see it down there said jim miller
149
but mostly i can't it's a great white thing
150
and long legs came out of it when it came down but why here jim said jude why into a volcano
151
who knows said jim perhaps they like hot places perhaps they need something from the hot lava
152
and why are you angry with the americans jim hawker asked i know their beer's no good but
153
They watched this spaceship on their satellite.
154
I know they did.
155
They know it's here, but they don't want the world to know.
156
They don't want people like you and me to meet any extraterrestrial visitors.
157
Oh no, they want it all to be a big secret.
158
Then they can be top dog.
159
Just then, there was a sudden noise, a boom, deep below the ground.
160
What, what was that, Jim? asked Jude.
161
Oh, Alcedo does that all the time, said Jim.
162
Then hot water comes up, and steam, dust, sometimes a little lava, but not much.
163
That's why there are always clouds in the crater.
164
You can never see anything down there.
165
Can we climb down into the crater? asked Hawker.
166
Are you crazy?
167
It's dangerous down there, Jim said.
168
All evening, Hawker and Jude stared down into the crater.
169
but they could see nothing through the clouds of steam and dust.
170
Just before the sun went down, Hawker saw something near the top of the crater and shouted to Jude,
171
but it was only two of the giant tortoises.
172
They came slowly past the camp and went away down the other side of the volcano.
173
Later, four more came past, going the same way, moving slowly and quietly over the black rocks.
174
They're very strange animals, said Jude.
175
Hawker and Jude did not sleep much the rocks were hard
176
and below them they heard again
177
and again the deep boom of the volcano late in the night they turned their radio on it It was very noisy,
178
but through the noise they could hear a voice from Santa Cruz.
179
Hawker listened hard.
180
They're talking about Volcano Alcedo, he said.
181
They think it's going to erupt in the next twenty-four hours.
182
Jude sat up.
183
Oh, no!
184
We're seven hours away from the boat.
185
Let's get moving.
186
Go and call Jim.
187
But Jim Miller did not believe Santa Cruz Radio.
188
It's the Americans again, he said.
189
They want us all to go away way.
190
Please come with us, Jim, said Jude.
191
Please, you can come back in a day or two.
192
You too go, said Jim, but I'm staying right here and watching that spaceship.
193
It was a hard climb down.
194
When they got to the sea, they saw Gonzalo with the little boat.
195
Hurry, he shouted.
196
Did you hear on the radio?
197
Alcedo's going to erupt.
198
Quickly, they went out to the sea lion and climbed up onto the boat.
199
Go, go, go, Gonzalo shouted to his men.
200
And before long, the sea lion was a kilometer out at sea.
201
two hours later volcano alcedo erupted there was a sudden great bang
202
and then clouds of dust flew up into the sky red hot lava came out of the volcano's sides
203
and ran down to the sea The noise did not stop,
204
and with every bang, rocks flew hundreds of meters up into the sky,
205
then fell slowly back down to the ground.
206
For hours, the night sky was filled with great flowers of red and orange light.
207
It was a beautiful and a terrifying thing to watch.
208
What happened to Dr. Miller?
209
I asked.
210
Poor Jim went to the great spaceship in the sky, Jude said.
211
Five hundred meters of red-hot lava fell on top of him.
212
and was there a spaceship in the volcano no said jude yes said hawker he looked at jude
213
and they laughed then jude looked at me what do you want to believe she asked
214
They weren't very clever extraterrestrials, were they?
215
Sitting there in their spaceship, in an erupting volcano?
216
Hawker smiled.
217
Ah, but perhaps the spaceship left just before the volcano erupted.
218
Gonzalo and I saw something in the clouds of dust.
219
A white light moving very fast, faster than the dust.
220
It went up very high.
221
Well, I didn't see anything, said Jude, and that's because there wasn't anything in that volcano.
222
Hawker looked up into the blue Greek sky.
223
How do we know?
224
He said slowly, One day someone or something is going to visit us from out there.
225
Perhaps that was the first visit all those years ago in the Galapagos. Who knows?
226
Thank you.
227
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
