Section 2.
2
You will hear a woman called Alice Bussell talking on the radio about the Dolphin Conservation Trust,
3
an organisation which tries to protect dolphins.
4
First, You have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
6
Today we're pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust.
7
Tell us about the trust, Alice.
8
Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world.
9
It tries to raise people's awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats.
10
It started 10 years ago and it's one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country
11
although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection.
12
We're particularly proud of the work we do in education.
13
Last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country,
14
going round to talk to children and young people aged from 5 to 18.
15
In fact, about 35 % of our members are children.
16
The charity uses its money to support campaigns, for example, for changes in fishing policy and so forth.
17
biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.
18
Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis, and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things.
19
I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year for our work in education.
20
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood,
21
In the long term, it may not bring in extra members, but we're hoping it'll have this effect.
22
Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?
23
Yes, in several locations.
24
And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.
25
This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.
26
However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.
27
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.
28
It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.
29
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.
30
I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.
31
Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins
32
who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth
33
because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.
34
I couldn't put the book down.
35
I was hooked.
36
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
37
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
38
I'm sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help.
39
You mentioned the Adopt a Dolphin scheme.
40
Can you tell us about that? Of course.
41
People can choose one of our dolphins to sponsor.
42
They receive a picture of it and news updates.
43
I'd like to tell you about four which are currently being adopted by our members: Moondancer, Echo, Kiwi and Samson.
44
Unfortunately, Echo is being rather elusive this year and hasn't yet been sighted by our observers, but we remain optimistic that he'll be out there soon.
45
All the others have been out in force.
46
Samson and Moondancer are often photographed together.
47
But it's Kiwi who's our real character, as she seems to love coming up close for the cameras.
48
And we've captured her on film hundreds of times.
49
They all have their own personalities.
50
Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly, whereas Samson has a lot of energy.
51
He's always leaping out of the water with great vigour.
52
You'd probably expect him to be the youngest.
53
He's not quite.
54
That's Kiwi.
55
but Samson's the latest of our dolphins to be chosen for the scheme.
56
Kiwi makes a lot of noise, so we can often pick her out straight away.
57
Echo and Moondancer are noisy too, but Moondancer's easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back, which makes her easy to identify.
58
So, yes, they're all very different.
59
Well, they sound a fascinating group.
60
That is the end of section two.
61
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
62
Now turn to section 3.

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.
