Shadowing Practice: IELTS listening practice Part 4 - the A.U.V (answer & transcript) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Les maken...
1
Autonomous underwater vehicle, or AUV.
2
It actually resembles a miniature airplane that moves deep in the ocean.
3
It's not large enough to have a human crew aboard, and so its behavior is really that of a robot.
4
The AUV is programmed to calculate
5
and record a range of data depending on the mission it is carrying out at any one time.
6
On previous missions, it has been programmed to record water pressure, as well as how much salt there is in the water.
7
On a more recent mission around Bermuda, an AUV was equipped with a special instrument that showed the temperature of the ocean at different depths.
8
It can also assess the quality of the water in general.
9
So, as you see, it is quite a versatile and useful little piece of equipment.
10
We use its measurements to determine
11
and increase our understanding of ocean behaviors as well as its role in and influence on our climate.
12
This instrument also has many other benefits.
13
It can be launched and used relatively quickly.
14
Also, there's no need for cables to physically link it to a boat.
15
There are disadvantages, though.
16
AUVs move at only modest speeds, up to 25 centimeters per second.
17
In addition, the AUV structure cannot collect water samples, so other equipment must be used to conduct a chemical analysis of the water.
18
Now, I'm sure you're all wondering how the AUV actually works.
19
First, let's see how an AUV actually moves.
20
L. It moves by pumping oil between two bladders.
21
This helps the AUV to sink or float.
22
The AUV records the data and measurements that it has been programmed to take while it rises to the surface.
23
At the beginning and end of each dive, it obtains records and transmits its position by exposing an antenna embedded within the tip of the right wing.
24
Okay, so that's the AU.
25
Thank you.
26
Thank you.
27
Thank you.
28
Thank you.

Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telthas been programmed

Uitspraak om op te letten

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: calculate /ˈkælkjʊleɪt/, antenna /ænˈtɛn.ə/, disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/, transmit /tɹænsˈmɪt/, bladder /ˈblædɚ/
  • /w/ — met ronde lippen: underwater /ʌndɚˈwɔtəɹ/, equip /ɪˈkwɪp/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als instrument, measurement, obtain.

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.
