Shadowing Practice: IP3T1S2 Making a steam pit - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
Good morning everyone and welcome to our Outdoor Survival Program.
2
As you know, this week you'll be learning some of the basic information
3
and skills you need to look after yourself independently in the outdoors.
4
These first two days we'll be based here in the classroom
5
and then we'll be taking a camping trip to put into practice some of the things you've learned.
6
I'm going to start off with the topic of food, and to start with, I'll describe just two methods which we'll be putting into practice at our camp,
7
and which make use of natural resources—the steam pit and the bamboo pot.
8
I've got two posters here to make things clearer, and I'll start with the steam pit here.
9
To make this, you'll need some dry sticks, some grass, some loose earth, and some stones.
10
And for this week only, some matches!
11
The first thing you do is to dig a shallow pit in the place you've chosen to do your cooking.
12
Let's say about 25 cm deep and 30 cm wide.
13
Your sticks have to be a bit wider than the pit
14
because you have to put a line of them along the top from one end of the pit to the other.
15
Before setting light to these, you take some large stones and arrange them on top.
16
Then you start the fire and wait till the wooden platform burns through and the stones fall into the pit.
17
At this point, brush away any pieces of hot ash from the stones.
18
You can use a handful of grass and then take another stick
19
and push it down into the center of the pit between the stones.
20
After that, you cover the whole pit with a thick layer of grass and then you can put your food on it,
21
wrapped in more pieces of grass like parcels.
22
Finally, cover the whole thing with earth.
23
You have to pat it firmly to seal the pit.
24
Then all you have to do is take the stick out
25
and pour a bit of water into the opening that it leaves.
26
It should take about four hours for your food to cook, as it cooks slowly in the steam that's created inside the pit.
27
Simple but effective.
28
The other method you're going to practice this week is the bamboo oven.
29
Now the steam pit is ideal in certain conditions because the heat is below ground level.
30
For example, if there's a strong wind and you're afraid a fire might spread.
31
But when it's safe to have an open fire, you can use the bamboo oven method.
32
You get a length of bamboo, which as you probably know is hollow and consists of a number of individual sections with a wall in between.
33
You use a sharp stick to make a hole in each of the dividing walls apart from the end one.
34
Then you lean the bamboo over a fire, with the top propped up by a forked stick and the bottom sitting on the ground.
35
You pour enough water in the top to fill the bottom section
36
and then light a fire underneath that section to heat the water.
37
Then you put your food inside the top section
38
and the steam coming up the bamboo through the holes you made cooks it.
39
I'm going to move on now to food itself and talk about some of the wild plants you might cook.
40
I'm going to begin with fungi.
41
That's mushrooms and toad's apples.
42
I'm sure you'll be aware that some of these are edible and they're delicious, but some of them are highly poisonous.
43
Now, whether they're poisonous or not, all fungi that you find in the wild should be cooked before eating
44
because that helps to destroy any compounds in them that might be mildly toxic.
45
But be aware that any amount of cooking won't make poisonous varieties any safer to eat.
46
Unless you can definitely identify a fungus, you should never eat it.
47
It's not worth the risk.
48
And you need to be really sure, because some fungi that are poisonous are very similar in appearance to certain edible varieties.
49
They can easily be mistaken for each other.
50
So, having said all that, fungi are delicious when they're freshly picked, and although they are only moderately nutritious,
51
they do contain minerals which the body needs.
52
I'll move on now to leafy plants.

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.
