1
Section 4.
2
You will hear part of a student presentation about a conservation project on the Florida coast of the United States.
3
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Today I'm going to be talking about the first year of a regeneration project in a mangrove forest.
7
Mangrove forests are found along river estuaries and coastlines
8
and are important because they prevent flooding by acting as a barrier between the land and sea.
9
The mangrove trees have special roots which can breathe and allow them to survive in thick, airless mud.
10
They are also a very important habitat for wading birds, fish, and other animals.
11
In the area where the project is taking place, there have been a number of problems since the area was first settled over 100 years ago.
12
Many of the mangrove trees were initially burnt as firewood by local farmers.
13
The mangrove forests were also poisoned by settlers' farming methods
14
because the farmers used fertilizer to increase crop yields and this started to seep into the water,
15
eventually killing part of the mangrove forest.
16
Farming in the area wasn't successful, and what was left of the mangrove forest area wasn't valued by local people as crops couldn't be grown there.
17
And so what happened was that the area started to be used as somewhere to dump trash.
18
Action was urgently needed to protect the mangrove forest and prevent flooding, and so the mangrove regeneration project was set up.
19
The conservationists involved decided to construct a sand barrier around the forests.
20
But unfortunately this proved to be ineffective.
21
The only way forward appeared to be to grow new mangroves from seed.
22
Several species of mangrove inhabit the forests in this area of the United States, but it is the gray mangroves that we are concerned with here.
23
The seed of this plant is about the size of an almond, and most seeds fall only when they are fully ripe.
24
The mangrove regeneration project first began three years ago.
25
The first set of seedlings was planted in small pots and left to germinate in a hothouse.
26
The plants thrived, and large roots appeared at the bottom of the pots.
27
Ideally, these seedlings should have been conditioned with increasingly salty water before being planted in the sea.
28
They had, in fact, only been watered with rainwater.
29
As the plants weren't used to a saline environment, it was decided to plant them out on the south side of a small island nearby.
30
It was hoped that this would allow them to get used to salt water gradually, Since this part of the island was flooded every day at high tide,
31
there were over 100 plants planted in this particular spot,
32
and it was necessary to protect them not from the large number of wading birds which visit the area looking for food,
33
but from the large rabbit colony living in the area.
34
The process for the second set of seedlings was completely different.
35
Young seedlings were collected from the forests and then taken to a new site.
36
The seedlings were then planted in the seabed behind old mangrove roots for protection.
37
However, this method did not prove very successful, and the vast majority of these seedlings were washed away in a storm.
38
Luckily, the first set of seedlings survived, and this method is the one which the project will continue to use in the future.
39
Now I'd like to describe in more detail the process...
40
That is the end of Section 4.
41
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
42
That is the end of the listening test.
43
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
44
Thank you.
45
Thank you.
46
Thank you.

이 수업에 대하여

이번 세션에서는 미국 플로리다의 맹그로브 숲 복원 프로젝트에 대한 학생 발표의 일부를 듣고, 관련 질문에 대한 답변을 연습합니다. 이 수업을 통해서 학생들은 영어 듣기 능력을 향상시키고, 동시에 영어 회화 연습을 통해 발음과 억양을 개선할 수 있습니다. 영어 쉐도잉 기술을 활용하여 발음과 억양을 자연스럽게 익힐 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.

연습 팁

이 비디오에서 제시된 내용은 약간의 속도가 있는 학생 발표입니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 효과적으로 연습하기 위해, 먼저 발표를 несколько 번 들어보며 전체적인 내용을 이해하십시오. 그 후에는 한 문장씩 반복해서 따라 해보세요. 발표의 속도가 빠르므로, 처음에는 느린 속도로 시작해도 괜찮습니다. 발음과 억양에 집중하면서 반복하여 연습한다면 shadow speak 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 가능한 한 실제 발표자의 억양과 감정을 따라 잡으려고 노력하십시오. 이 방법은 유튜브 영어 공부에도 매우 유용하며, 자신감을 가지고 다른 친구들과 대화할 때 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
