1
smile and learn have you ever heard of global warming did you know
2
that over the past decades sea level has risen all these
3
news are related to climate change to understand better what climate
4
change is we should define what climate is the climate is the combination of atmospheric conditions
5
that occur in place for a prolonged period of time.
6
Over the past centuries, the climate everywhere around the Earth has changed,
7
altering the usual conditions of a place regarding precipitation and temperature.
8
This way, water shortage, desertification, the disappearance of lakes, or even sea level rise are becoming more and more common.
9
In addition, the number of natural disasters like droughts, floods, or huge storms has increased.
10
All these situations are a consequence of global warming, meaning the increase in temperature happening on the planet,
11
owing mainly to human activity.
12
But why has the planet's temperature risen?
13
The Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, a thin layer of gas which allows part of the solar radiation to penetrate. For
14
that, this layer consists of gases called greenhouse effect gases whose mission is to absorb part of the energy received
15
and maintain the planet's temperature.
16
One of the main greenhouse effect gases is CO2.
17
With the Industrial Revolution, CO2 emissions started to increase owing to the use of fossil fuels like coal or petrol.
18
Over the past years, the presence of gases like CO2 in the atmosphere increased,
19
and for this reason, its capacity to retain solar radiation has been enhanced, resulting in an increase of the average temperature of the planet.
20
Climate change affects every country in the world, causing a negative impact on their economy, people's lives, and all living beings.
21
Here are some facts.
22
Over the past 150 years, the average global temperature increased almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
23
Would you say it's not much?
24
If the Earth's temperature keeps rising, thousands of animal and plant species may disappear forever.
25
Oceans got warmer and for this reason, the amounts of ice have decreased, causing sea levels to rise.
26
Did you know that between 1901 and 2010, the sea level has risen 7 .5 inches?
27
This may cause some places to disappear beneath the water's surface.
28
Worst consequences are predicted in the future if we don't take measures urgently.
29
Currently, there are some viable solutions at hand.
30
Would you like to learn about them?
31
It is necessary to turn to renewable energies to reduce CO2 emissions.
32
Cars are responsible for 10 % of CO2 emissions.
33
Use public transport, bicycle or walk.
34
Reduce your plastic use.
35
Use less plastic.
36
Reducing plastic involves high CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
37
Plant a tree taking into account the ecological characteristics of your area.
38
Did you know that five trees can absorb up to one metric ton of CO2 during their lifecycle?
39
Always recycle!
40
An interesting fact is that we would need less energy to make paper from old newspapers than
41
if we made it using directly the wood from trees.
42
turn off the lights whenever they are not needed
43
if we save electricity we also reduce the energy waste required
44
to produce it remember it's in your hands to look after the planet want to join us in in our mission?

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.
