1
Part four.
2
You will hear a student giving a presentation about a type of tree known as the eucalyptus, which is common in Australia.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Thank you.
5
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Today, I'm going to talk about the eucalyptus tree.
7
This is a very common tree here in Australia, where it's also sometimes called the gum tree.
8
First, I'm going to talk about why it's important.
9
Then I'm going to describe some problems it faces at present.
10
Right, well, the eucalyptus tree is an important tree for lots of reasons.
11
For example, it gives shelter to creatures like birds and bats.
12
And these and other species also depend on it for food, particularly the nectar from its flowers.
13
So, it supports biodiversity.
14
It's useful to us humans too,
15
because we can kill germs with a disinfectant made from oil extracted from eucalyptus leaves.
16
The eucalyptus grows all over Australia, and the trees can live for up to 400 years
17
so it's alarming that all across the country numbers of eucalyptus are falling
18
because the trees are dying off prematurely
19
so what are the reasons for this one possible reason is
20
disease as far back as the 1970s the trees started getting
21
a disease called mundula yellows the tree's leaves would gradually turn
22
yellow then the tree would die it wasn't until 2004
23
that they found the cause of the problem was lime
24
or calcium hydroxide to give it its proper chemical name
25
which was being used in the construction of roads the lime was being washed away into the ground
26
and affecting the roots of the eucalyptus trees nearby What it
27
was doing was preventing the trees from sucking up the iron they needed for healthy growth.
28
When this was injected back into the affected trees, they immediately recovered.
29
But this problem only affected a relatively small number of trees.
30
By 2000, huge numbers of eucalyptus were dying along Australia's east coast of a disease known as bell miner -associated dieback.
31
The bell miner is a bird, and the disease seems to be common where there are high populations of bell miners.
32
Again, it's the leaves of the trees that are affected.
33
What happens is that insects settle on the leaves and eat their way round them, destroying them as they go,
34
and at the same time they secrete a solution which has sugar in it.
35
The bell miner birds really like this solution
36
and in order to get as much as possible they keep away other creatures that might try to get it.
37
So these birds and insects flourish at the expense of other species
38
and eventually so much damage is done to the leaves that the tree dies.
39
Thank you.
40
but experts say that trees can start looking sick before any sign of bell minor associated dieback
41
so it looks as if the problem might have another explanation one possibility is
42
that it's to do with the huge bushfires
43
that we have in australia a theory proposed over 40 years ago by ecologist William Jackson is
44
that the frequency of bushfires in a particular region affects the type of vegetation that grows there.
45
If there are very frequent bushfires in a region, this encourages grass to grow afterwards,
46
while if the bushfires are rather less frequent, this results in the growth of eucalyptus forests.
47
So why is this?
48
Why do fairly frequent bushfires actually support the growth of eucalyptus?
49
Well, one reason is that the fire stops the growth of other species which would consume water needed by eucalyptus trees. And there's another reason.
50
If these other quick -growing species of bushes and plants are allowed to proliferate,
51
they harm the eucalyptus in another way by affecting the composition of the soil and removing nutrients from it.
52
So some bushfires are actually essential for the eucalyptus to survive as long as they are not too frequent.
53
In fact, there's evidence
54
that Australia's indigenous people practiced regular burning of bushland for thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans
55
but since Europeans arrived on the continent the number of bushfires has been strictly controlled now scientists believe
56
that this reduced frequency of bushfires to low levels has led to what's known as dry rainforest
57
which seems an odd name as usually we associate tropical rainforest with wet conditions.
58
And what's special about this type of rainforest?
59
Well, unlike tropical rainforest, which is a rich ecosystem, this type of ecosystem is usually a simple one.
60
It has very thick, dense vegetation, but not much variety of species.
61
The vegetation provides lots of shade.
62
So one species that does find it ideal is the bell minor bird
63
which builds its nests in the undergrowth there
64
but again that's not helpful for the eucalyptus tree that is the end of part four
65
you now have one minute to check your answers to part four

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.
