1
4. A.
2
I've found the Titanic.
3
A. As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks.
4
He read a lot about the Titanic.
5
My lifelong dream was to find this great ship, he says.
6
B. On August 31st, 1985, Ballard's dream came true.
7
He found the wreck of the Titanic.
8
The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers under the sea.
9
Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship.
10
He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic's end.
11
For example, he found a child's shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912.
12
C. In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again.
13
This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine.
14
A deep-sea robot took photos inside the ship.
15
When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship too.
16
D. When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition.
17
Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items like clothes, dishes and shoes.
18
Some even took pieces of the ship.
19
They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn't agree.
20
E. Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is wrong.
21
Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck.
22
This way, people can see the great ship and remember what happened to it.
23
As long as she needs protection, says Ballard, the Titanic will always be part of my life.

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.
