Part 4 You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve,
2
known as translocation.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves.
6
This is known as translocation.
7
and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years.
8
The reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas.
9
Overpopulation is a good problem to have, and not one we tend to hear about very often.
10
In Malawi's Majeti National Park, the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers who killed the elephants for their ivory.
11
But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.
12
Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.
13
In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
14
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.
15
This led to a number of problems.
16
Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.
17
As there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park, some elephants began looking further afield.
18
Elephants were routinely knocking down fences around the park.
19
which then had to be repaired at a significant cost.
20
To solve this problem, the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Nkotakota Wildlife Park,
21
where there were no elephants.
22
But, obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home three hundred kilometres away is quite a challenge.
23
So, how did this translocation process work in practice?
24
Elephants were moved in groups of between eight and twenty all belonging to one family.
25
Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.
26
A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters.
27
and targeted a group which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.
28
The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.
29
This was a tricky manoeuvre, as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquilizer for different sized elephants,
30
But they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.
31
This also had to be done as quickly as possible, so as to minimise the stress caused.
32
As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.
33
To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants were lying on their chests.
34
because their lungs could be crushed in this position.
35
So, all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.
36
One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.
37
It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.
38
If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.
39
Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.
40
Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.
41
Elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers and also of their feet.
42
The elephants were then taken to a recovery area, before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home.
43
The elephants translocated to Enkotakota settled in very well.
44
And the project has generally been accepted to have been a huge success.
45
and not just for the elephants.
46
Employment prospects have improved enormously.
47
contributing to rising living standards for the whole community.
48
Poaching is no longer an issue, as former poachers are able to find more reliable sources of income.
49
In fact, many of them volunteered to give up their weapons, as they were no longer of any use to them.
50
More than two dozen elephants have been born at Enkotakota since relocation.
51
With an area of more than 1 ,800 square kilometres, there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow.
52
Their presence is also helping to rebalance Enkotakota's damaged ecosystem
53
and providing a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks.
54
All this has been a big draw for tourism,
55
which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife trade to GDP.
56
And this is mainly because of the elephants.
57
There's also been a dramatic rise in interest from...
58
That is the end of part four.

La presentazione di uno studente di zoologia ti permetterà di acquisire vocaboli specifici legati alla fauna selvatica e alla conservazione. Ascoltando il video, potrai migliorare la tua pronuncia e la tua fluidità attraverso la tecnica di shadowspeak. Questo metodo di shadow speak è particolarmente utile per apprendere come esprimere idee complesse in inglese in modo chiaro e naturale.
Vocaboli e Frasi Chiave
- Translocation - Tranlocazione
- Overpopulation - Soprapopolazione
- Poachers - Bracconieri
- Immobilize - Immobilizzare
- Recovery area - Area di recupero
- Living standards - Standard di vita
- Community - Comunità

Consigli per la Pratica
Quando pratichi la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, utilizza il metodo di shadow speech mentre ascolti il video. Ecco alcuni consigli per ottenere il massimo dalla tua esperienza:
- Ascolta attentamente: Fai attenzione al ritmo e all'intonazione dello studente. La sua pronuncia è chiara e il contenuto è denso di informazioni. Questo ti aiuterà a familiarizzare con la struttura delle frasi.
- Ripeti ad alta voce: Prova a ripetere le frasi subito dopo averle ascoltate. Questo è un elemento chiave nella tecnica di shadowspeaks, poiché ti permette di affinare la tua pronuncia e la tua fluidità.
- Fai pause strategiche: Non avere paura di mettere in pausa il video per ripetere parti che sembrano difficili. Concentrati su una frase alla volta per migliorare la tua comprensione e il tuo controllo della lingua.
- Varietà di pratiche: Dopo aver ascoltato il video, prova a scrivere un breve riassunto di quello che hai appreso. Questo ti aiuterà a consolidare le informazioni e a migliorare la tua capacità di esprimerti in inglese.
Utilizzerai questi strumenti per affrontare le sfide della lingua inglese in modo più efficace, contribuendo così al tuo percorso di apprendimento e alla tua fiducia nel parlare inglese.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | have been moved · is known · has been carried |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been moved · has been carried · has been poached |
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.
