Part 4 You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve, known as translocation.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Thank you.
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 and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years the reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas
7
overpopulation is a good problem to have and not one we tend to hear about very often in Malawi's Majeti National Park,
8
the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers who killed the elephants for their ivory.
9
But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.
10
Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.
11
In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
12
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.
13
This led to a number of problems.
14
Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.
15
as there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park some
16
elephants began looking further afield elephants were routinely knocking down fences around
17
the park which then had to be repaired at a significant cost to solve this
18
problem the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Incotta Kota Wildlife Park where there were no elephants.
19
But obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home 300 kilometres away is quite a challenge.
20
So how did this translocation process work in practice?
21
Elephants were moved in groups of between 8 and 20, all belonging to one family.
22
Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.
23
A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters and targeted a group, which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.
24
The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.
25
This was a tricky manoeuvre, as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquiliser for different sized elephants, but they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.
26
This also had to be done as quickly as possible so as to minimize the stress caused.
27
As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.
28
To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants were lying on their chests because their lungs could be crushed in this position.
29
So, all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.
30
One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.
31
It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.
32
If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.
33
Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.
34
Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.
35
Elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers and also of their feet.
36
The elephants were then taken to a recovery area before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home
37
the elephants translocated to enkota kota settled in very well and the project has generally
38
been accepted to have been a huge success and not just for
39
the elephants employment prospects have improved enormously contributing to rising living
40
standards for the whole community poaching is no longer an issue as former poachers are able
41
to find more reliable sources of income in fact many of them volunteered to give up their
42
weapons as they were no longer of any use to them more than two dozen
43
elephants have been born at enkotakota since relocation with an area of more than 1800 square kilometers there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow
44
their presence is also helping to rebalance in kotakota's damaged ecosystem and providing
45
a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks all this has
46
been a big draw for tourism which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife
47
trade to GDP and this is mainly because of the elephants there's also been a dramatic rise in interest from
48

このビデオでスピーキング練習をする理由
このビデオは、野生の象を新しい保護区に移動するプロセスについてのプレゼンテーションで、多くのスピーキングの文脈を提供しています。IELTS スピーキング対策として、実際の環境での話し方や専門的な語彙を学ぶことができます。この種のプレゼンテーションを通じて、具体的なトピックに関する議論を展開する力が養われ、自然な話し方や自信を持って話すスキルが向上します。また、象に関する話題は多くの人々に関心があり、英語での討論や表現力を豊かにする良い素材となります。
文法と文脈における表現
このビデオでは、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています：
- 過去形と完了形：プレゼンテーションの中で、象の移動に関する過去の出来事や成果が語られるため、過去形や現在完了形が多く用いられています。
- 原因と結果の構文：例として、「象の過剰繁殖が問題である」という表現が使われ、原因とその結果を明確に示しています。
- 受動態：「象が移動された」というように、受動態を使うことで行為の受け手に焦点を当て、事実をより客観的に説明しています。
これらの構造は、shadow speech や shadowspeaks の練習を通じて、自分の意見を明確に伝える際に役立ちます。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオ内では、いくつかの発音が挑戦的です。特に「translocation」や「immobilize」といった言葉は、正確に発音するのが難しいかもしれません。また、流暢さを保ちながら抑揚をつけることが求められるため、特に注意が必要です。英語のアクセントも重要で、さまざまな地域の発音に耳を傾けることで、自然な会話に近づけることが可能です。
これらのポイントを注意深く学び、shadowing site を使って繰り返し練習することで、効果的にスピーキングスキルを向上させることができます。
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。
