1
Unit 10 are the Army's True Colors A first emperor of China,
2
Qin Shi Huang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule.
3
Between 221 and 210 BC, he started the construction of the Great Wall of China.
4
He built a large network of roads.
5
He introduced a new writing system, currency and set of measurements.
6
The Emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-size terracotta soldiers.
7
These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
8
An Emperor is a leader who rules a group of regions or countries.
9
Terracotta is a type of clay used for making things such as flower pots, small statues and tiles.
10
Lost in Time Be today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this colour.
11
They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white and purple.
12
Sadly, most of the colours did not last to the present day.
13
Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground ground.
14
When they were unearthed, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off.
15
The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.
16
New Techniques See new techniques are now starting to reveal the army's true colours.
17
Archaeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.
18
Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes.
19
Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldier's colours.
20
After they find a soldier or other artefact, archaeologists spray it with the liquid.
21
They then cover it in plastic.
22
Back to life.
23
D archaeologists are also finding colours in the dirt around Cyan's terracotta warriors.
24
It's important not to disturb the dirt so the colours won't be lost.
25
We are treating the earth as an artefact, says archaeologist Rong Bo, the museum's leading chemist.
26
The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colours to the army again.
27
Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to life in full colour.

| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|

Uitspraak om op te letten

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: disturb /dɪˈstɜːb/, preserve /pɹəˈzɝv/, underground /ˌʌn.dəɹˈɡɹaʊnd/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: statue /ˈstæt͡ʃu/, sadly /ˈsædli/

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.
