1
I'm inside one of the Inchendown oil tanks, an old oil storage facility near Inverness in Scotland.
2
This tank is 237 metres long, and it's not meant for humans.
3
When it was in use by the Royal Navy, all this colossal space would have been filled with fuel oil.
4
With these oil tanks, the Royal Navy accidentally created the greatest reverberation chamber in the world.
5
Flat surfaces enclosed by solid rock,
6
and a chamber big enough that sound takes a whole second or more to go off the far wall and bounce back,
7
but still narrow enough that you get lots of reverberation from all the close surfaces as well.
8
The construction started in 1938 and it carried on right through the beginning of the war up to around about 1943.
9
The Admiralty had decided that they required bomb -proof storage for their oil.
10
So they set about building a number of oil tanks across Britain.
11
And this, Incheon Down, is one of them.
12
The construction required six tanks to be built.
13
The entire complex could easily contain 100 ,000 tonnes of fuel oil.
14
But one single Royal Navy battleship could drink 5 ,000 tonnes.
15
So it could go very, very quickly.
16
This is a truly amazing chamber of sound a cathedral of oil and a cathedral of science.
17
So now I'm going to shut up for a bit.
18
Preston here is going to fire a starting pistol, a very, very loud bang.
19
On the screen is a visual display of that sound.
20
Different frequencies will reverberate for different amounts of time, so you will see that and hear that.
21
And as it gets quieter, we will turn up the level on the microphone, so it's easier for you to hear.
22
Right, everyone ready?
23
Thank you. so Thank
24
you to the Bannerman group for letting us into the tunnels, to Alan, Alan and Preston for helping with everything here,
25
to Matt Ray who is behind the camera and who has had some musical experiences over on his channel.
26
Go for it. That is terrifying!

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。
