It is.

Moreover, there's a deep volcanic crater on her property as well as a large wetland, home to a rare bird.
45
So what should she do?
46
The tourist accommodation will be relatively straightforward as long as it's on high ground.
47
With the track into the crater, where there are unusual rock formations and steam, she'll need to consider health and safety regulations.

But they shouldn't be too hard.

It's the wetland that presents a challenge.

I doubt she'll be able to drain it.

But didn't you major in psychology?
64
Yes, I did.
65
The archives are about as far away from that as you could imagine.
66
Although, working with so many different staff and public means I do have to apply some psychology from time to time.

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.
