Coal, natural gas, and oil are natural resources too.
8
So are things like plants, wind, and water.
9
Energy from Food Sources You get energy from foods you eat.

Plants use energy from the sun to make their own food.
12
Plants can store the food they make in roots, stems, and leaves.
13
Energy from Gasoline Most cars, trucks, planes, and trains get energy from gasoline.
14
Gasoline is made from oil.
15
Oil is a natural resource found deep underground.
16
Wells pump oil up from the ground.
17
Factories change the oil into gasoline.
18
Electricity Electricity is a kind of energy.
19
We use electricity to run many things that we use every day.
20
How do we get electricity?
21
Making electricity We can get electricity from a generator.
22
A generator is a machine with huge blades that spin to make energy.
23
A large power plant near your town may have many generators.
24
Many kinds of fuel are used to run the generators.
25
Energy from Coal About half the energy used to run generators comes from burning coal.
26
Coal is a natural rock resource that is usually mined under the ground.
27
Power plants can burn coal to make energy to heat water.
28
Burning coal also causes pollution.
29
When water gets hot enough, it turns to steam.
30
Flowing steam makes the fan blades inside a steam generator spin fast.
31
Generators use energy made by the spinning blades to make electricity.
32
Energy from wind Wind can be used to make electricity.
33
Blowing wind turns the large blades of a wind generator.
34
The generator uses energy from the spinning blades to make electricity.
35
Electricity from wind does not make any pollution.
36
Energy from water Moving water can be used to make electricity.
37
People build dams to block rivers.
38
Water from a river moves through large pipes in the dam.
39
The moving water spins the blades of the generators.
40
Energy from the earth Some places under the Earth are very hot.
41
They have layers of hot rock and hot water deep underground.
42
Hot steam rises out of holes in the ground.
43
The steam is trapped in pipes and used to spin the blades of a generator.
44
Energy from the Sun People can use the sun's energy to make electricity.
45
Solar cells and solar panels can change sunlight into electricity.
46
Solar cells make this car move.
47
Switching Energy People use more energy each year.
48
We use lots of coal, oil, and natural gas to run our cars, homes, and businesses.
49
These natural resources can't last forever, and they pollute the Earth.
50
Sun and wind are good energy resources to use instead.
51
They don't pollute, and they last forever.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
Shadowing technique is a fantastic way to improve speaking and pronunciation practice. Here’s how to use it with this video:
- Listen first: Watch the video without speaking. Focus on the rhythm and intonation of the narrator’s voice. Notice how words like "natural resources" or "generator" are stressed.
- Repeat immediately: Pause the video after 2-3 sentences and repeat them out loud, trying to match the speed and tone. For example, when the narrator says, "You need energy to run and play," copy the short, energetic pace.
- Focus on tricky words: Words like "pollution" or "solar panels" might be new. Say them slowly, breaking them into syllables (pol-lu-tion, so-lar pan-els), then add them to your shadowing practice.
- Connect ideas: The video flows from food energy to electricity. As you shadow, pay attention to how phrases like "Energy comes from many kinds of important natural resources" link different topics. This helps with conversational fluency.
- Practice daily: Spend 5-10 minutes a day shadowing a section. Over time, you’ll notice your pronunciation and confidence improve—you might even find yourself using these energy-related phrases in real conversations!
By combining language learning with a topic as relatable as energy, you’ll make progress while learning something useful. Give shadowing a try—your speaking skills will thank you!

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.
