Hello everybody!
2
Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
3
I'm Brian Stewart.
4
We're starting a new book.
5
It's Level B, which means two things.
6
One, we're going to be talking about different subjects in each unit.
7
We'll be talking about science,
8
social studies, health, sports, that's math and fine arts.
9
So we'll talk about these different subjects in each of the units.
10
The second thing is that the vocabulary might be a little more difficult than before.
11
But that's okay, don't worry.
12
I'll help you, we'll go over it together,
13
we'll practice the pronunciation, and I hope that you understand what these words mean after each unit.
14
So let's work together and figure these things out.
15
Are you ready?
16
Let's begin with Unit 1.
17
Unit 1, we're talking about the environment.
18
So this has to do with science, right?
19
Natural science.
20
In Unit 1, we're going to be looking at sharks for Lesson 1.
21
Do you know about sharks?
22
We're going to find out a lot about sharks in this lesson.
23
We will focus on learn about the best hunter in the ocean.
24
The best hunter in the ocean.
25
What is that?
26
Of course, that is the shark.
27
So, what do you know about sharks?
28
What do you know about sharks?
29
Now, this is kind of a scary picture, right?
30
It's a cartoon about sharks.
31
And in the lesson, we're going to take a look at sharks
32
and look at their teeth and see how they might be scary.
33
But you know what?
34
Really, sharks are not really that dangerous.
35
This is just a funny cartoon.
36
Do you know I'm a scuba diver?
37
I like to scuba dive.
38
And sharks are afraid of people.
39
If I see a shark, he's swimming away.
40
So that's very interesting.
41
But we'll look in this unit, we'll see other interesting facts about sharks.
42
Let's begin with the vocabulary.
43
Let's start.
44
Number one, a living being.
45
There are many living things in the world, right?
46
You and I are living beings.
47
Dogs are living beings.
48
Parrots, right?
49
Cats, rabbits, lizards, right?
50
We have a lot of different living beings.
51
What do we call things that live?
52
It's a word that starts with C.
53
It's creature.
54
This is a little bit of a difficult word.
55
Let's practice the pronunciation.
56
Creature.
57
Creature.
58
It's two syllables, two sounds.
59
Cree-ture.
60
Creature.
61
Okay?
62
So creatures are all living things.
63
You and I are creatures.
64
Dogs are creatures.
65
Parrots are creatures.
66
Anything that lives and moves is a creature.
67
Plants aren't creatures.
68
Usually animals are creatures.
69
Okay, let's move on.
70
The next one, here are a couple of creatures here, right?
71
One who finds and kills animals.
72
One means a creature, a living thing that finds and kills animals.
73
What is it?
74
We call it a hunter.
75
Now here we see this is a spider.
76
A spider is a hunter because it finds, well, insects find it, and it kills those things.
77
But we are hunters too.
78
Human beings are hunters.
79
We hunt, especially a long, long time ago, human beings had to hunt for their food.
80
So there were many hunters.
81
In a long time ago, people were hunters.
82
Okay, let's move on.
83
The next one is very surprising and wonderful.
84
Wow, this little boy has a present.
85
He's opening the present.
86
Wow, he's really surprised and he thinks this thing is wonderful.
87
What can we say?
88
It's amazing.
89
Amazing.
90
If you find something or you see something or you learn new information that's really surprising and really wonderful, that's amazing.
91
So something that's amazing, surprising and wonderful.
92
Next one.
93
What's happening here?
94
We have a picture.
95
one side of the tree is very green, nice.
96
The other side of the tree is dead, right?
97
To become different, right?
98
Maybe it's becoming different.
99
Trees, of course, change with the seasons.
100
What do they do?
101
They change with the seasons.
102
So to become different, they change.
103
So maybe in the summertime, the tree looks green, has a lot of leaves, but in the winter, all the leaves are gone.
104
The tree looks like it's dead.
105
The tree changes with the seasons.
106
Okay, let's move on.
107
Number five, a small amount of liquid.
108
This little bit of liquid right here, right?
109
What is that?
110
That is a drop, a drop of liquid.
111
You know, of course, when it rains, right?
112
It rains like this, and we call those little pieces of water falling from the sky, we call them raindrops.
113
raindrops because many little drops are falling from the sky.
114
Many drops will get you very wet, right?
115
We call those raindrops.
116
So a small amount of liquid is a drop, a drop of liquid, a drop of water.
117
Next one, this is a strange picture.
118
What's that shark doing on land?
119
That's very weird.
120
Okay, But anyway, we're looking at hard white parts in the mouth.
121
You have them too.
122
A shark has them, right?
123
A shark has many.
124
Look at the bottom.
125
There's so many, right?
126
Sharks have rows, actually.
127
Some sharks have three rows of these things.
128
Okay?
129
What are they?
130
Of course, we're talking about teeth.
131
Teeth.
132
Okay?
133
Be careful, right?
134
Because teeth means many teeth.
135
What if you say one?
136
If you say one, you say tooth.
137
Tooth.
138
So, one tooth, many teeth.
139
Okay?
140
That's important to remember.
141
So, if you go to bed at night, right?
142
You wake up and your tooth falls out.
143
You have one tooth.
144
Your tooth is gone, right?
145
So, children, you guys lose your teeth, right?
146
But one tooth at a time, okay?
147
So, that's teeth.
148
Next one is very small.
149
Very small.
150
Look at this food.
151
I'm still hungry after looking at this or eating this. So small.
152

153
Shrimp and potato and asparagus.
154
It's very small.
155
What do we say?
156
We say it's tiny.
157
Tiny.
158
Really small.
159
The next one, what's this guy doing?
160
Maybe he jumped up and suddenly you see him.
161
To come into view.
162
Somebody who comes into view suddenly appear.
163
So if you're walking along and you don't see your friend, suddenly your friend is there.
164

165
Your friend appeared in front of you.
166
Your friend appeared in front of you.
167
Appeared.
168
Your friend appeared in front of you.
169
The pronunciation, appear, appear, appear.
170
So one more time, appear.
171
Your friend appeared in front of you.
172
So to appear.
173
The next one, number nine, what's this, right?
174
That's the stuff in your body, right?
175
If you go to the hospital,
176
the doctor will take some of your red liquid inside your body to find out if you're healthy or not.
177
What do we call that liquid?
178
We call it blood.
179
Like a vampire will say blood.
180
Sorry.
181
But we say blood.
182
B-L.
183
Bl.
184
Bl.
185
Blood.
186
Blood.
187
So, we say blood.
188
And that's the liquid inside your body.
189
Do you know what blood does?
190
Because it carries oxygen throughout your body.
191
It helps you live.
192
Blood is very important.
193
Something that causes fear.
194
What is this?
195
These kids were watching television.
196
Suddenly the monster came out of the television.
197
It's causing fear.
198
Something that causes fear is what?
199
We say it's scary.
200
Very scary.
201
Something that causes fear.
202
It's scary.
203
The movie is scary.
204
Next one.
205
Having much power.
206
Something that has a lot of power.
207
This little girl, wow, she's really what?
208
She can climb that rock face.
209
So she has a lot of power.
210
She is strong.
211
She is strong.
212
Having much power is strong.
213
Are you strong?
214
Can you do a lot of sports?
215
If you play, you run outside, you will get strong.
216
So don't study all the time, don't play video games all the time, go outside and play sometimes and get strong.
217
Get your power.
218
Okay, next one.
219
Here we have the subject of our lesson.
220
A large fish in the sea.
221
So a large fish in the sea with sharp teeth and you can see those teeth.
222
Whoa, they're right there and right there, right?
223
We saw a picture of this guy before.
224
He was on land for some reason.
225
He had a lot of teeth, right?
226
What is it?
227
It's a shark, a shark.
228
A large fish in the sea with sharp teeth.
229
That's a shark.
230
Next one, 13, having little or no light.
231
Okay, this street, there's a lot of lights here, but imagine if you go off on a smaller street and there's not a lot of lights, right?
232
Or there's very little light and it's hard to see, right?
233
I can't see very well.
234
There's not enough light.
235
We say it's dark, it's dark.
236
At night, it's dark outside.
237
There's no sun, so it's dark outside.
238
Okay.
239
What's this guy doing?
240
That looks kind of strange.
241
Maybe he's afraid of somebody else in the office, right?
242
And he doesn't want to be seen.
243
To go somewhere where nobody can see you, right?
244
I can't see this guy.
245
He's under the desk.
246
Maybe you play a game with your friends, right?
247
Where you, what do you do?
248
You hide.
249
The game that you play with your friends is probably called hide and, hide and what?
250
Hide and seek.
251
Yes.
252
Hide and seek.
253
So hide means to go somewhere where nobody can see you, and seek means to look for that person.
254
So many children hide, one child seeks and finds those people.
255
Maybe he finds those people.
256
But remember, hide is an irregular verb.
257
We change it when we talk about the past tense.
258
So we say hide, then we say hid, hid, and then we say hidden, hidden.
259
So hide, hid, hidden.
260
That's how the verb changes for the past tense.
261
Okay, next one.
262
Whoa, do you do this?
263
Can you do this?
264
This is very nice in the summer when it's really hot.
265
I want to go do this, right?
266
To move in the water like a fish.
267
Well, he's not really moving like a fish.
268
Did you see a fish do this?
269
I never saw a fish do that.
270
But people, when you do this, right, you're moving through the water, fish also do that like this, right?
271
What are they doing?
272
Swim.
273
They are swimming.
274
Can you swim?
275
Okay, remember swim is an irregular verb.
276
It changes in the past, so we say swim, swam, swum.
277
Okay, one more time.
278
Swim, swam, swum.
279
Okay, that's how the verb changes in the past tense.
280
Okay, so maybe this summer you will go swimming.
281
Okay, I hope so.
282
It's cool.
283
It's great.
284
It will make you strong.
285
Okay, next one.
286
Number 16, not closed.
287
So the door is not closed.
288
If it's not closed, it is, of course, open.
289
Open, closed, pandero, right?
290
They are opposites.
291
closed and open are opposites.
292
Opposites.
293
I think in Korean you say pandero, right?
294
Something that is opposite.
295
Closed and open.
296
Okay, that wraps it up for our words.
297
Let's review those words with some vocabulary exercises.
298
Are you ready?
299
These are the words we're going to use.
300
Creatures, creatures.
301
Teeth, teeth.
302
appear, appear, and change, change.
303
We're going to take these words and we're going to complete each sentence with one of these words.
304
So we have four sentences.
305
We need to complete these sentences with one of these words.
306
Let's take a look at number one.
307
Number one, many different, beep, live in the ocean.
308
Many different what live in the ocean?
309
We have creatures, teeth, appear, change.
310
Many different teeth live in the ocean?
311
That's crazy, right?
312
Before we talked about living things, things that live, all things that live, we say they are what?
313
Creatures, right?
314
Creatures.
315
And if you think about it, many different creatures live in the ocean.
316
True, we're talking about sharks in this lesson, but there's many kinds of fish, right?
317
There's big fish, little fish, red fish, black fish.
318
There are octopus.
319
There are squid.
320
Squid?
321
Ojingo, right?
322
But you eat ojingo, right? So squid.
323
There's whales.
324
So many different creatures live in the ocean.
325
It's really amazing.
326
Okay.
327
Number two, sharks have big and scary what?
328
If you see a shark, most people think, well, sharks, they have a lot of, right? and they have big and they could be scary,
329
they are, of course, we're talking about teeth.
330
Sharks have big and scary teeth, right?
331
When people look at sharks, one of the first things they see is the teeth, right?
332
Okay, let's move on to number three.
333
I don't want to swim.
334
A shark might what?
335
A shark might what?
336
A shark might suddenly come up, right?
337
A shark might appear, right?
338
And that's interesting.
339
I don't want to swim, a shark might appear.
340
Yes, when you go to the beach, be careful.
341
If the lifeguard says don't swim because there's a shark, don't swim.
342
But usually, sharks, you don't really have to worry about them.
343
Like I said before, they'll swim away from you.
344
A lot of people don't know that when they're swimming, there's sharks in the water.
345
Most sharks don't attack people.
346
But you still have to be careful.
347
Make sure you check with the lifeguard at the beach before you go swimming.
348
Four, soon it will be winter.
349
Soon it will be winter.
350
That means it's not winter now.
351
Maybe it's fall.
352
It's still warm, but it will soon get cold.
353
The weather will do what?
354
It will go from kind of warm to cold.
355
It will change.
356
The weather will change, right?
357
From fall to winter.
358
It's really cold in the winter.
359
And then it will change again when it becomes spring, right?
360
So the weather will change when the seasons change.
361
Okay, that wraps up our words.
362
So we've learned a lot of words in this unit so far.
363
Now we're going to take a short break, come back, and look at a reading passage using these words.
364
Don't go away.
365
We'll see you soon.
366
Hello, everybody.
367
Welcome back.
368
We're continuing our lesson on sharks, right?
369
So now we have a reading passage to go over together.
370
Let's take a look.
371
First, we have, Many ocean creatures are hunters.
372
They find and eat other fish.
373
So these two sentences are very closely connected.
374
Many ocean creatures.
375
Before we said there are many creatures in the ocean.
376
Well, of course, many of those creatures find and hunt and kill and eat other creatures.
377
So many creatures are hunters.
378
Then this sentence defines what is a hunter, right?
379
Many ocean creatures are hunters.
380
They, hunters, find and eat other fish.
381
That's what a hunter is.
382
Let's continue.
383
But, however, none of them can hunt like a shark.
384
So, yes, many creatures are hunters, but the best hunter is a shark, right?
385
None of them can hunt like a shark.
386
That means the sharks are the best hunters in the water, okay?
387
Because none of the other creatures can hunt like a shark.
388
Sharks are the best hunters in the water.
389
Why?
390
Why are sharks good hunters?
391
And we have some questions.
392
Is it because of their big, strong teeth?
393
So is it because of their teeth?
394
They do have scary teeth, but their senses are even scarier.
395
What does that mean?
396
They're saying that, sure, sharks are really good hunters because they have big scary teeth.
397
That's true.
398
But there's another reason, more important reason, that sharks are good hunters.
399
It's because their senses are even scarier.
400
What are senses?
401
Senses are your ability to know what's going on around you.
402
Your senses are sight.
403
Your sense of sight, that's a sense.
404
Hearing is another sense.
405
Smell is another sense.
406
Taste is another sense.
407
And of course feel, when you feel something.
408
Those are the five senses.
409
Sharks' senses are really, really good.
410
Some of the sharks' senses are really good, and that makes them even scarier for other creatures in the ocean.
411
Let's take a look.
412
Let's continue.
413
Now, we're going to see one example of how scary a shark's sense is, and one type of sense.
414
A tiny drop of blood, so imagine a tiny drop of blood falls into the ocean.
415
So, a tiny drop of blood falls into the ocean.
416
A few minutes later, ten sharks appear right how did they know how did they
417
know they have to have a really good sense of what
418
sharks have a very good sense of smell ah smell that's one of the senses we talked about right
419
so they can smell a tiny drop of blood
420
that falls in the ocean sharks can smell it and many sharks ten sharks come because they smell the blood.
421
Wow, that's really scary, right?
422
Their noses are amazing.
423
It's not just scary, it's amazing.
424
They can smell a tiny drop of blood from far away and they come.
425
That's really amazing.
426
They know exactly where a smell is coming from.
427
So if you think about that, that's really amazing.
428
A tiny drop of blood goes in the water, sharks can smell it.
429
Their sense of smell is very amazing.
430
Their sense of smell is really amazing.
431
So many sharks come.
432
They know exactly where that drop of blood is, where that smell is coming from.
433
It's very impressive, very amazing.
434
If a shark smells a fish, especially if the fish is bleeding,
435
it knows which way to swim to find it.
436
So it knows, oh, ah, it's that way, right?
437
The sharks, you know, they have to, they don't just go like this, right?
438
They also go like this and down because in the water they can go in many different directions.
439
But the shark knows where to go to find that fish.
440
Sharks can also see very well too.
441
Ah, that's the second sense, right?
442
First, we talked about smell.
443
They can smell blood, but also they can see very well.
444
Some parts of the ocean, so some parts of the ocean don't get much light.
445
Get much light means there's not a lot of light here, right?
446
Maybe in your bedroom, look around in your bedroom.
447
Are there parts of your bedroom that are a little dark?
448
those areas don't get much light.
449
So some parts of the ocean don't get much light, especially deep under the water, there's not much light.
450
Sharks can find fish even in these dark places.
451
Even in the dark places, sharks can see where the fish are. So that's interesting.
452
Look at this picture.
453
This is a very amazing picture.
454
Look at all these sharks.
455
Actually, if I'm a diver here, I would love to see this.
456
You know, just sit there and look.
457
Wow, that would be amazing, right?
458
Okay.
459
Still don't think sharks are the best hunters?
460
This is a question for you.
461
This question is aimed directly at you.
462
You still, we could put you, but we don't have to.
463
That's what we think.
464
You still don't think sharks are the best hunters?
465
You still don't think that way?
466
Right?
467
That's what the question is asking.
468
Try hiding from a shark.
469
Well, it's kind of funny because sharks will usually run away from you.
470
They're not going to find you.
471
But anyway, try hiding from a shark.
472
It's not easy to hide.
473
If you're a fish and you're bleeding, it's not easy to hide from a shark.
474
It will find you easily.
475
Sharks know where you are.
476
Sharks can feel things moving in the water.
477
So there's another sense.
478
That's a third sense, right?
479
They can smell blood.
480
They can see in the dark they can also feel changes in the water.
481
It's amazing.
482
They can feel the water change if something swims near them.
483
Water is heavy, right?
484
If you go like this in the water and your arm is over here, you know, you're not touching but you can feel when you push the water,
485
your other arm feels that pressure.
486
Sharks can feel that too, of course.
487
So their sense of feel is very good as well.
488
So they can feel the water change if something swims near them.
489
They know.
490
They can feel that.
491
So we've talked about three senses.
492
Smell, sight, and feeling.
493
Okay.
494
There's another interesting fact about sharks about their sleep.
495
Did you know that some sharks sleep with their eyes open?
496
Can you do that?
497
Can you with your eyes open?
498
That's crazy, right?
499
But sharks swim with their eyes open.
500
Many scientists are studying sharks because we want to protect these amazing animals.
501
Sharks are really amazing.
502
We want to study them and know how we can protect sharks.
503
So some sharks sleep with their eyes open.
504
It's true.
505
It really is true.
506
Some sharks will sleep on the bottom.
507
They'll rest on the bottom of the ocean.
508
I've seen them.
509
I've come close to sharks that were swimming, that were staying on the bottom.
510
But don't touch them, because they will be afraid of that and they'll swim away.
511
Just get close to them and look at them.
512
They're very amazing.
513
But some sharks can't do that.
514
Some sharks keep swimming even though their brain is kind of like sleeping.
515
Maybe you do that.
516
Sometimes at school you're walking around but you're sleeping right?
517
That's what sharks do okay?
518
Some sharks not all sharks different types of sharks do different things okay
519
so but some sharks sleep with their eyes open their eyes are open
520
while they're sleeping so how do we know if a shark is sleeping or looking for something to eat right?
521
How do we know if a shark is sleeping or just looking for something to eat?
522
It says we don't here.
523
We don't know.
524
We're not sure.
525
And there's only one way to find out.
526
There's only one way to find out?
527
That means we just have to be careful.
528
What the author is saying here is that there's only one way to find out, and that's if the shark goes and bites something.
529
But to be honest with you, to be truthful with you, sharks really are not always going to attack something.
530
Sharks only eat very little part of their day.
531
They usually hunt at night too.
532
Usually during the day, sharks are just swimming around.
533
They're just looking around.
534
If they see an animal that is sick or bleeding, then they will attack it.
535
But they're not going to attack an animal
536
that seems to have no problems and they're not going to attack you if you're swimming underwater.
537
They might attack people on the surface of the water because they think those people are seals.
538
So that's the dangerous part.
539
That's the dangerous place.
540
But when they say there's only one way to find out, that means there's only one way to see if the shark bites something or not.
541
So it's kind of like a scary sentence.
542
Okay, well that wraps up the reading.
543
Now let's take a look at the reading comprehension questions.
544
Number one.
545
As number one, this story is about.
546
So, we're asking what is the big subject that this story is about?
547
It's pretty easy, right?
548
We remember that this story, is it about sharks?
549
Yes, that's what we're talking about.
550
This story is about sharks, right?
551
That's what we've talked about.
552
We've talked about the senses of the sharks.
553
Sharks can smell well.
554
They can see well.
555
They can feel well.
556
And we also saw that sharks have an interesting way to sleep.
557
They sleep with their eyes open.
558
All of these facts are about sharks.
559
So that's our big subject in this lesson, sharks.
560
Sure, we talked about sharp teeth, but that was a small part of the reading passage.
561
We talked about strong senses, the three strong senses, but again, that was a small part.
562
And we talked about change, the changes in the water that sharks can sense, but that was a really small part.
563
That was a tiny part of the reading, right?
564
The whole reading was about sharks.
565
So this story is about sharks.
566
Okay, number two.
567
Some sharks sleep.
568
Remember that amazing thing we learned about sharks?
569
It's very amazing that some sharks sleep with their eyes open.
570
That's A.
571
Is that right?
572
Did we learn about that?
573
Yes, it's true.
574
With their eyes open.
575
Some sharks sleep with their eyes open.
576
So that's the right answer.
577
With their eyes open.
578
Be on the bottom of the ocean.
579
It didn't say that.
580
The reading passage didn't say that.
581
I said that.
582
Some sharks sleep on the bottom.
583
Some sharks keep swimming.
584
But the reading passage didn't say that.
585
So we can't choose that.
586
Some sharks sleep on sailboats.
587
That's funny, right?
588
That's like a sailboat's coming through and all these sharks go, hey, can we sleep on your boat?
589
No, that's crazy, right?
590
So, and besides, sharks can't sleep out of water.
591
They die.
592
They can't breathe in air.
593
They have to breathe in water, right?
594
So that's wrong too.
595
Yeah, number C is wrong and number B is wrong.
596
Some sharks sleep all the time.
597
No, they can't do that.
598
I know sometimes you want to sleep all the time, right?
599
Wow, that would be great.
600
No, but that's boring, right?
601
We want to do things, right?
602
And sharks can't sleep all the time.
603
They have to eat.
604
They have to meet other sharks, right?
605
They have to do many things to survive.
606
They can't sleep all the time.
607
So some sharks sleep with their eyes open.
608
That's what was in the passage.
609
Okay.
610
Sharks can feel the water what if something swims near them?
611
Remember, something happens to make it different, right?
612
What is that?
613
Sharks can feel the water drop if something swims near them, so the water drops.
614
They can't feel that because they're in water.
615
If water drops, that's on the surface of the water, right?
616
So they don't feel it drop.
617
Can feel the water change if something swims near them?
618
Yeah, that's our answer.
619
Can feel it change.
620
So our answer is sharks can feel the water change if something swims near them.
621
They can feel the water moving, right?
622
So they can feel that change.
623
They can feel the water swim. Can water swim?
624
No, that's crazy.
625
Only creatures can swim.
626
Can feel the water blood?
627
That doesn't make any sense at all, right?
628
Water doesn't have blood, right?
629
Water is just water.
630
Sharks can feel the water change if something swims near them.
631
That's the correct answer.
632
Number four, sharks are very good what?
633
What are sharks really good at? Are they good singers?
634
Can sharks sing?
635
Like I said before, I'm a scuba diver.
636
I like to dive in the water.
637
I've never heard singing underwater.
638
That's crazy.
639
Sharks don't sing underwater.
640
They're not good singers.
641
Sharks are good sleepers?
642
That's kind of weird because, you know, the passage didn't say that they are good sleepers.
643
It just said that they could sleep with their eyes open, right?
644
So that's not right.
645
This next one is funny.
646
The sharks are very good at doing puzzles.
647
So whenever I go diving, I have a lot of books with me, crossword puzzles, and I give them to the sharks.
648
The sharks take them.
649
No, that's crazy, right?
650
That's very silly.
651
Sharks don't do puzzles.
652
They're not intelligent like people are.
653
So that's a very silly answer, right?
654
Silly.
655
Finally, we have D, hunters.
656
Sharks are very good hunters.
657
Yes, they are.
658
That's the answer because we talked about that.
659
Sharks are very good hunters because they have really good senses.
660
And what do hunters do?
661
Hunters find other animals and kill them.
662
So sharks have to have very good senses to find other animals and sharp teeth to kill them.
663
So sharks are very good hunters.
664
Okay, and that's what we're talking about.
665
Sharks are great hunters, As we can see, I'm a shark, the best hunter in the water.
666
The best hunter in the water.
667
Why?
668
We talked about that in the passage.
669
Well, first of all, sharks have very scary teeth.
670
So if this shark could talk, he says, I have very scary teeth.
671
And that's to kill the animals.
672
Remember, hunter finds and kills other creatures.
673
They have good teeth to be able to do that.
674
They also have strong, scary senses, don't they?
675
For example, I have a very good sense of smell.
676
Sharks can smell very well.
677
They can smell that tiny drop of blood in the water.
678
They can smell that.
679
Wow, amazing.
680
Another one, I can see very well.
681
They can see very well.
682
And their other sense that we talked about, I can feel things moving in the water.
683
Okay, so the three senses are smell, seeing, and feeling.
684
Smelling, seeing, and feeling.
685
Those are the three senses that make a shark the best hunter in the water.
686
So, really amazing, huh?
687
Did you learn some new things about sharks in this lesson?
688
I hope so.
689
It's a very interesting subject.
690
Anyway, hope you've learned a lot.
691
As always, we'll see you next time.
692
Take care everybody.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
