Part 2.
2
You'll hear a short radio report about how technology is helping
3
archaeologists who want to learn more about some texts written over 2 ,000 years ago known as Roman tablets.
4
For questions 7 to 14, complete the sentences.
5
You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
6
Thank you.
7
At the time of the Roman Empire in Europe, around 2000 years ago, it was common for information to be written not on paper, but on things called tablets.
8
These were pieces of wood about the size and thickness of a typical modern envelope.
9
Hundreds of such tablets have been unearthed from archaeological sites throughout Europe and the Mediterranean world.
10
Nearly 200 were found in one Roman fort alone.
11
And like most of these discoveries, they have been placed in public collections, mainly in museums in northern Europe,
12
to be viewed, but not, unfortunately, to be read.
13
This is because, although in some cases traces of writing can still be seen, most are now illegible to the naked eye.
14
But that's all soon to change, because archaeologists hope that with the help of new technology, their secrets may soon be revealed.
15
Many of the tablets took the form of legal documents and letters written by Roman soldiers.
16
An example, now at the British Museum, bears the name of the person who wrote it and the name of the person who received it,
17
plus the word transportation, which you can just make out.
18
But the rest remains a mystery.
19
Now, with the help of computer techniques, experts hope eventually to be able to read the whole letter.
20
Professor Mike Brady, a leading figure in what's known as computer vision for many years, admits that this is the hardest project he's ever worked on.
21
But the excitement of seeing the latest ideas in computing applied to such a very ancient problem has the archaeological community buzzing.
22
So, in simple terms, why has the writing been preserved?
23
And how will it be possible to undo the ageing process?
24
Well, the tablets were made with thin, hollow panels cut across them.
25
Wax was poured into these, and the text was then written into this soft surface, using an instrument with a fine metal point.
26
In virtually all cases, the wax has perished, and all that can be detected on the surface of the tablet underneath are scratches.
27
These are too faint to be read, because they are distorted.
28
For some time, scientists have attempted to study them with laser photography, but this has proved fruitless.
29
However, it is now hoped that by enhancing images of the tablets on computer, their original messages will become legible again.
30
If this is the case, a whole new source of historical information will be opened up, and this promises advances and new knowledge for many decades to come.
31
The new technology has already been used on texts in ink as well, and in the future it will be applied to damaged surfaces of many kinds.
32
Now you'll hear the recording again.

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been unearthed · have been placed · has perished |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | be written · have been unearthed · were found |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | person who wrote |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
- I suoni “th”: unearth /ʌnˈɜː(ɹ)θ/, thickness /ˈθɪknəs/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: archaeologist /ˌɑɹ.kiˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒɪst/, illegible /ɪˈlɛd͡ʒəbəl/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hollow /ˈhɑloʊ/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: tablet /ˈtæblət/, archaeologist /ˌɑɹ.kiˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒɪst/, compute /kəmˈpjuːt/, distort /dɪsˈtɔːt/, fruitless /ˈfɹuːtləs/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: tablet /ˈtæblət/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come archaeological, archaeologist, compute.
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.
