6
A Gabi Salazar, it was over ten years ago.
7
One of my friends in Peru was very interested in birds, so we walked around with our cameras and notebooks for a day.
8
We saw many different species and we took photos of them.
9
Later, we posted all our data on eBird.
10
What is eBird?
11
B. Gabby Salazar.
12
It's an internet-based citizen science project at Cornell University in the United States.
13
People around the world record information about birds they see.
14
Today, eBird has over 590 million observations of more than 10,000 different bird species.
15
Scientists use this data to answer important questions.
16
For example, where do certain birds live?
17
How many are there?
18
How can a person become a citizen scientist?
19
See Gabby Salazar.
20
It's easy.
21
First, find a project that you like online.
22
One of my favourites is iNaturalist, which studies animals and plants.
23
Then, download the Projects app one and use your phone to take pictures.
24
For example, you can photograph different kinds of trees near your home or school.
25
When you're done, upload your photos to iNaturalist.
26
If you don't know the name of an animal or plant, other people can tell you.
27
It's a great way to learn about your environment and you also assist scientists with their research.
28
D. If you can't take photos, you can still contribute to citizen science.
29
For example, you can take part in a fun project called Wild Watch Kenya.
30
Experts hide cameras in trees and other places.
31
When an animal moves past, the camera takes a photo.
32
Citizen scientists then review the images online and identify the animals they see.
33
The Lost Ladybug Project.
34
For years, scientists in North America thought the nine-spotted ladybug pictured below was extinct.
35
Then citizen scientist Peter Priolo photographed the insect in New York.
36
He sent his photo to the Lost Ladybug Project, a site that is creating a map of different ladybug species.
37
Now scientists know something important.
38
The nine-spotted ladybug is rare but not extinct.

De spreker gebruikt 3 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals can't, don't, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: upload /ˈʌpˌloʊd/, neighbourhood /ˈneɪbə.hʊd/, ladybug /ˈleɪ.di.bʌɡ/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: photograph /ˈfoʊ.təˌɡɹæf/, ladybug /ˈleɪ.di.bʌɡ/

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 citizen, scientist, photograph.

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.
