1
You know, I think photos can help inspire all kinds of emotions.
2
You know, they can be beautiful.
3
They can also help inspire wonder in people.
4
So this is a photo of a tiny chameleon from the island of Madagascar.
5
Do we have anybody from Madagascar here today?
6
That would be really neat.
7
This is a chameleon that is a fully grown adult.
8
So it's really, really small and I put it on a human finger so you can see just how tiny it is.
9
Amazingly, it's not even the smallest species in Madagascar.
10
The smallest one can actually fit on the head of a match.
11
Photos can also make us care about species and places that are really far away from our homes.
12
Like this photo of a Sulawesi crested black macaque from Indonesia.
13
And I saw earlier that we had somebody from Indonesia on this webinar, So that's wonderful to see.
14
Photos can also make us aware of environmental issues, like the overfishing of sharks and other big fish that are found in our oceans.
15
And this is an issue that's happening worldwide.
16
So it was really this understanding of the power of photographs that inspired me to apply to National Geographic
17
for a Young Explorers Grant to go to the country of Peru to photograph conservation efforts in the Amazon rainforest.
18
I actually, I just got a great question.
19
Do I get scared?
20
Yeah, sometimes I get a little nervous when I'm out in the forest, but it's absolutely worth it every time.
21
But I really love being out there in the forest.
22
And in this case, I spent 10 months in the Amazon rainforest.
23
And I was photographing these conservation efforts from the high Andes Mountains,
24
seen here, all the way to the lowland Amazon rainforest.
25
To make photos like this one, I would have to get up at 4 o'clock a.m in the morning
26
and drag myself out of bed
27
and go into the dark forest in the middle of the night
28
and to climb a radio tower that was about 60 meters high
29
or 180 feet high so I could be above the canopy at dawn.
30
But I wanted to do those things to really show how beautiful these landscapes are and to make people care about them.
31
And Peru is full of adventures.
32
In this case, we had to trek for a couple of hours through the forest.
33
We crossed rivers 11 times, and then we camped in the forest for 10 days in Peru.
34
I was working with these park rangers who were monitoring wildlife, but we went out there so that we could really show some of the animals that were living in this forest.
35
I got to photograph some pretty cool critters like mustache monkeys in the Peruvian Amazon on,
36
scarlet macaws soaring above the canopy, and even some smaller creatures,
37
because I really love to not just show the big charismatic animals, but the more rare creatures, the ones that are overlooked.
38
So like monkey frogs, these really cute little frogs that are found in the understory and are a little bit camouflaged.
39
And I'm telling you about Peru because it was a really great learning experience for me.
40
Of course, it was an adventure, but more than that, it was a learning experience because I got to work with students.
41
As part of my project in Peru, I was able to give presentations and photo workshops to students in schools.
42
And these are some of those students out bird watching in one of the forests.
43
And as I shared my photos of wildlife with these students, like the mustache monkey or the scarlet macaw,
44
what I realized is that these students had almost never heard of these animals.
45
They actually knew more about elephants and giraffes
46
in faraway Africa than they did about the incredible animals that are found essentially in their backyards.
47
And that was a very important moment for me as a photographer,
48
because I really realized that we have to connect kids with nature in the places where they live.
49
Kids are not going to care about protecting wildlife if they don't even know that these species exist.

Cosa imparerai

Questo video aiuta a sviluppare tre competenze chiave per la conversazione in inglese: descrivere scene visive con dettaglio (usando aggettivi e espressioni come "tiny chameleon" o "scarlet macaws soaring"), connettere storie personali a temi generali (come la conservazione ambientale) e esprimere emozioni e riflessioni (ad esempio, "it was a really great learning experience"). Queste abilità sono fondamentali per chi vuole migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese, soprattutto quando si parla di argomenti reali e coinvolgenti come la natura.

Ascolta questi suoni

Nella lingua inglese, il collegamento tra le parole (connected speech) è molto comune. Nell'audio, ascolta come frasi come "I think photos can help" diventano "I think photos can help" con un leggero collegamento tra "think" e "photos", o "it's not even the smallest" si trasforma in "it's not even the smallest" con una riduzione di "not" a "n't". Questi dettagli rendono la pronuncia più fluida e naturale, e sono essenziali per il shadowspeak, una tecnica che consiste nel ripetere immediatamente le frasi ascoltate per imitare il ritmo e l'intonazione.

Parla come un madrelingua

Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento del parlante, focalizzati su due aspetti: l'accento sulle parole chiave (come "beautiful", "conservation", "students") e la pausa tra le frasi per dare enfasi a concetti importanti. Ad esempio, quando il parlante dice "Kids are not going to care about protecting wildlife if they don't even know that these species exist", mette l'accento su "care", "protecting", "know" e "exist", creando un flusso che guida l'ascoltatore. Usare questa tecnica nel shadowspeak aiuta a migliorare non solo la pronuncia, ma anche la comprensione auditiva. Ricorda: l'obiettivo è non solo ripetere, ma capire il "perché" dietro ogni accento e pausa, per rendere la tua conversazione più naturale e coinvolgente. E se vuoi praticare, questo video è un ottimo modo per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, combinando la visione di immagini suggestivi con l'immissione linguistica.

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.
