This model looks very interesting.
6
Can you tell me more about it, Ms. Smith?
7
Yes, this is a green city designed to reduce its negative impact on the environment.
8
As you can see, more than 50% of it is made up of green areas.
9
I don't see any private vehicles on the roads.
10
Most people will use public transport such as trams and electric buses.
11
There will be fewer traffic jams and less pollution.
12
So city dwellers will stop using their cars in urban areas.
13
That's the idea.
14
I like it.
15
It seems a good solution to many environmental problems.
16
Let's look at the city over there.
17
I can see robots and lots of cameras in the streets.
18
What's special about this city?
19
It's called a smart city.
20
AI technologies such as cameras and smart sensors will be installed to help the city operate more efficiently.
21
The modern infrastructure of the city looks beautiful.
22
I'm really impressed with the high-rise buildings.
23
Tall buildings can actually limit the carbon footprint of the built environment and help solve housing problems in big cities.
24
Hmm, I'm thinking of living in a smart city in the future.

Over deze les

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
