This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication.
2
So you've got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero.
3
And that's going to be based on the number of people, the services each person's using on average, the energy on average for each service,
4
and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.
5
So let's look at each one of these and see how we can get this down to zero.
6
Probably one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.
7
That's back from high school algebra.
8
But let's take a look.
9
First, we've got population.
10
The world today has 6.8 billion people.
11
That's headed up to about 9 billion.
12

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
