Shadowing Practice: Climate change is a dangerous problem - Learn English Speaking with Video

Les maken...
1
the earth is very old it has changed often during its long life and it is still changing
2
millions of years ago when dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus rex were alive the earth was much warmer.
3
There was very little ice on the land or on the sea, even in the very north or the very south of the world.
4
And the sea was much higher than it is today.
5
There have been many changes since that time, sometimes to a warmer climate,
6
sometimes to a colder one about 20 000 years ago for
7
example a time called an ice age began there was ice over much of the world
8
and it was three kilometers deep over much of north america
9
and europe and the sea was not as high as it is today our climate has changed many times
10
and it will change again
11
but now for the very first time people are changing the
12
climate in the year 1900 the earth was 0 .7 c colder than it was in 2000,
13
just 100 years later.
14
This change did not happen because of the Earth's orbit.
15
It happened because of us.
16
Some people think that this is a small change.
17
But think about this.
18
A change of just 5 to 7 c can start or finish an ice age.
19
Can a climate change like this?
20
Scientists think that it can, but not as quickly as this.
21
Scientists do not always agree.
22
Some think that the climate is changing a lot, and some think that it is changing a little.
23
Some think that it will change quickly, and some slowly.
24
But all scientists agree that climate change is happening.
25
The important question is this, how dangerous will the change be?
26
Al Gore, who worked next to President Clinton of the USA between 1993 and 2001,
27
thinks that the change will be dangerous.
28
In his film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore describes how the Earth's climate has changed.
29
He has talked about the dangers of climate change for more than 20 years, but is he right?
30
Is climate change a dangerous problem?
31
Must we do something about it?
32
And what can we do?
33
Thank you.

Spreekdoelen voor deze video

Deze video helpt je om je engelse spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren, met name in het uiten van complexe ideeën over wereldwijde kwesties. Het doel is om vloeiender te worden in het structureren van verhalen over tijd (bv. " miljoenen jaren geleden ", " 20.000 jaar geleden ") en om argumenten te presenteren, wat handig is voor examens zoals IELTS spreekvaardigheid oefenen. Je leert ook hoe je contrasten maakt (bv. " warmer " vs. " kolder ") en vragen stelt die nadenken opwekken, een cruciaal vaardigheid voor gesprekken.

Woordenschatbank

  • "Climate change is a dangerous problem" – krachtige openingszin voor discussies.
  • "The earth has changed often during its long life" – manier om lange-termijnveranderingen te beschrijven.
  • "There was very little ice on the land or on the sea" – detailbeschrijving van klimaatomstandigheden.
  • "This change did not happen because of... It happened because of us" – oorzaken contrasteren.
  • "Is climate change a dangerous problem? Must we do something about it?" – provocerende vragen om gesprekken aan te wakkeren.

Verbeter je zwakke punten

Deze video is perfect om de shadowing techniek te oefenen. Let op de engelse uitspraak van lange woorden zoals "tyrannosaurus rex" en "inconvenient", en op de rhythmiek van zinnen met veel informatie (bv. "There was ice over much of the world and it was three kilometers deep over much of north america and europe"). Gebruik een shadowing app om te oefenen: speel een korte fragment af, pauzeer, en herhaal het onmiddellijk na, net als een schaduw. Dit helpt je om de intonatie en de timing te leren. Let ook op de klemtoon in woorden zoals "dangerous" (op de eerste lettergreep) en "scientists" (op de tweede). Door deze oefening te doen, word je niet alleen beter in uitspraak, maar ook in het sneller begrijpen en reproduceren van spraak, een must voor IELTS en dagelijks gebruik.

Grammatica in deze video

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.
