502
We're kind of getting back to the beginning of the passage.
503
It sounds crazy to pay money for a rock.
504
Well, this mine has something inside.
505
The author is saying, let's look at one specific mine.
506
Let's go imagine we're going to a specific mine.
507
This mine has something inside.
508
What is it?
509
What is in this mine.
510
Can you guess what it is?
511
Okay, that's like a riddle.
512
Can you guess?
513
We talked about riddles.
514
That means you have to guess about something.
515
We're going to see some clues or hints.
516
The clues are, it's shiny and very pretty.
517
That's a clue right there.
518
It's shiny.
519
It's very pretty.
520
It's very beautiful.
521
That's one clue.
522
Another clue is here.
523
You might see it on a ring, on jewelry.
524
You might see it on a ring, and that's part of this one.
525
People make jewelry with it.
526
So, let's go back here a little bit.
527
This mine has something inside.
528
Can you guess what it is?
529
That's the riddle.
530
Then we see the clues.
531
One, it's shiny.
532
It's pretty.
533
You might see it on a ring.
534
People make jewelry from it.
535
Those are clues.
536
The answer is here.
537
What is it?
538
It's a diamond.
539
Yay!
540
We got the answer to the riddle.
541
What is it?
542
Or what is in this mine?
543
It's a diamond.
544
It's a diamond mine, right?
545
That mine is a mine for diamonds.
546
Diamonds are found in rocks, of course, because we have to dig into the rock to find diamonds.
547
Of course, most rocks don't have diamonds in them.
548
Finding one, finding one refers back to rocks.
549
Finding one rock with a diamond is rare.
550
It's not common.
551
And of course, that's true.
552
If every rock had a diamond inside, then diamonds wouldn't be special.
553
Everybody would have a diamond, and diamonds wouldn't be expensive.
554
But diamonds are rare.
555
They are very hard to find because they're not common.
556
They are rare.
557
They're rare.
558
So, also another problem is these rocks, the rocks with diamonds in them, are deep under the ground.
559
You really have to dig deep under the ground to find rocks with diamonds in them.
560
In South Africa, people go kilometers down into the ground to get diamonds from the diamond mines.
561
So it's very deep underground.
562
We have to dig and search for diamonds.
563
This, what is this?
564
The action.
565
This action.
566
Dig and search for them.
567
This is called mining.
568
So this refers back to the action, the activity that we do.
569
This, digging deep underground and looking, this is called mining.
570
This action is called mining.
571
Okay.
572
Mining, of course, can take a long time.
573
It takes a long time to mine because you have to dig really far underground.
574
Before I told you I worked at a mine, that was like 20 years ago.
575
That mine is still in operation.
576
They are still digging.
577
Mining can take a long time.
578
Have you ever seen a black and yellow rock?
579
A rock that's black and yellow inside?
580
What kind of rock is that?
581
Well if you do, if you do see a black and yellow rock, pick it up and keep it.
582
Don't throw it away, keep it.
583
Why?
584
You may have found some gold.
585
You may, maybe, not for sure,
586
maybe you found some gold be careful because there's something called fool's gold.
587
Fool's gold, there's other gems or metal that looks like gold but it's not gold,
588
it's pyrite and people think, oh it's gold but it's not gold, I'm sorry.
589
So you have to be careful.
590
You may have found some gold, maybe you have to take it to a geologist or an expert and they'll look at Oh yes,
591
it is gold, hopefully.
592
Gold comes from rocks too.
593
You can see the gold on the outside, right?
594
So this is one nugget, right?
595
If this is all gold, that's one nugget, right?
596
That's all gold, no rock.
597
Okay, that's good.
598
But you can see the gold on the outside of the rock.
599
Gold is not as hard as most rocks, and that's true.
600
That's what's interesting about gold.
601
Gold is not as hard as other rocks.
602
Gold is actually a little bit soft.
603
If you take a piece of metal, you can scratch gold.
604
And that's important because people can shape gold into rings easily.
605
If it's soft, people can make jewelry from gold much easily.
606
They can change the shape of the gold.
607
Gold is much softer.
608
Gold is not as hard as most rocks, it's much softer.
609
It's softer than most rocks.
610
These two sentences kind of say the same thing.
611
Gold is not as hard as most rocks, it, gold, is much softer than most rocks.
612
These two sentences say the same thing, really.
613
Okay, mining is one way to find gold.
614
One way to find gold is to mine, to dig into the ground to find it.
615
Sometimes you can find gold in rivers and lakes.
616
So this is one way, this is a second way.
617
You don't always have to mine, dig in the ground to find gold.
618
Sometimes, like a hundred years ago, 150 years ago, there were men who went in the American West and other parts of the world,
619
but in the American West, they would take these big pans and they would go in the streams
620
and they would take some dirt and sand and they would swish it around.
621
Gold is soft, but it's also heavy, so it would fall to the bottom.
622
And they would do this and they would get all the water and the sand and the bottom they would find, see this pan, they would find gold.
623
And they were very, eh, we found gold, we struck gold.
624
That's the name here.
625
Okay, so wait until the summer though, okay?
626
Because we're talking about the second one.
627
Sometimes you can find gold and rivers and lakes.
628
Wait until the summer before you go looking for gold.
629
Why?
630
Because there is less water then.
631
And because less water, it will be easier to find gold.
632
So all of these sentences have to do with number two.
633
Sometimes you can find gold and rivers and lakes.
634
If you do that, wait until the summer.
635
Why?
636
The summer's hotter.
637
The water level goes down in the summer.
638
The water goes away.
639
It evaporates.
640
So there's less water.
641
So there's more sand, right?
642
You don't have to dig in the water or look underwater.
643
There's less water.
644
It's easier to find gold.
645
It will be easier to find your gold if there is gold there.
646
Okay, so that's something you can do if you're in the American West.
647
My dad, he's a geologist and when we were young, he took us to Pan for Gold.
648
We did that when we were kids and it was fun.
649
Sometimes dad would put fool's gold in there so we find that that was fun.
650
Remember all this next time you see a rock.
651
You could be rich and not even know it.
652
So if you see a rock, remember that.
653
Now be careful though, not all rocks will have diamonds or precious gemstones in them.
654
But maybe, sometimes, take a look at the rock.
655
You could be, could, doesn't mean you will be, you could be, it's possible.
656
You could be rich and not even know it.
657
So if you find a shiny rock, if you're in the American West, in Colorado, in Arizona, Nevada, you find a rock in the stream, keep it.
658
Maybe it has gold in it.
659
Maybe, but you won't know it.
660
You have to break open the rock or show it to an expert and they say, yeah, that is gold.
661
So if you find a shiny, beautiful rock in the ground, keep it. Who knows?
662
You could be rich and you don't know it.
663
That's what this sentence is saying.
664
Let's take a look at the comprehension questions.
665
Number one is always about what is this story about?
666
What is the whole subject that we're talking about?
667
What is this story about?
668
Is this story about rare rocks?
669
What did we talk about?
670
We talked about diamonds, we talked about gold.
671
What are they?
672
They are rare rocks, so that's the right answer.
673
This story is about rare rocks, diamonds and gold.
674
B, cheap jewelry?
675
No, we didn't talk about cheap jewelry.
676
Dirty rocks, that's kind of silly, all rocks are dirty.
677
D, soft rocks, don't get confused, they talked about gold being soft, but the whole passage wasn't about gold, we also talked about diamonds,
678
which are very, very hard, right?
679
So that's not the right answer.
680
So of course the right answer is rare rocks.
681
This story is about rare rocks.
682
As I said, not every rock has a diamond in it, not every shiny yellow metal you find is gold.
683
They are rare, so rare rocks.
684
2. You can find beep and beep inside the right rocks.
685
What can you find inside the right rocks?
686
A. Blood and oil.
687
You can find blood in rocks?
688
I hope not.
689
Rocks don't bleed.
690
That's crazy.
691
You could find oil but the passage didn't say anything about oil.
692
We're not talking about oil here.
693
You can find pollution and dirt inside the right rocks.
694
That's very silly too, right?
695
Because of course you're going to find dirt in rocks.
696
Rocks are made of dirt that's been pressed together.
697
Rocks are dirt.
698
And pollution, that doesn't make sense.
699
That's just a very silly answer.
700
See, you can find jewelry and makeup inside rocks.
701
Jewelry and makeup.
702
Can you open up a rock?
703
Oh, there's some lipstick, right?
704
Oh, there's some powder for my face.
705
No, that's crazy, right?
706
You can't find makeup in a rock and you're not going to find jewelry because remember, jewelry is something that people make.
707
You open up a rock and there's a ring or a necklace.
708
No, that's crazy.
709
So you won't find that either.
710
That's just very silly.
711
So that leaves us with D.
712
You can find diamonds and gold inside the right rocks.
713
Not all rocks but just the right rocks.
714
Is that true?
715
Yes, that's what we're talking about.
716
Diamonds and gold can be found in the right rocks.
717
So D is the correct answer.
718
Let's move on to number three.
719
Diamonds are beep and very pretty.
720
We see two things about diamonds.
721
The one thing we can see is right there, but what's the other description about diamonds?
722
What else is true about diamonds?
723
Yes, diamonds are very pretty, but what else are they?
724
Are they ugly?
725
No, because that contradicts.
726
the opposite of very pretty.
727
Diamonds are not ugly.
728
Diamonds are shiny and very pretty.
729
Yeah, remember shiny is like pancha pancha, right?
730
Very shiny, bright.
731
And diamonds are shiny.
732
They're bright.
733
Okay, let's just go C and D.
734
Diamonds are purple.
735
Purple?
736
Now remember the picture?
737
Diamonds are clear.
738
They have no color.
739
Well, you could say they're white, but they just reflect the light.
740
If you look at a diamond you can see right through it.
741
Diamonds are clear.
742
They don't really have a color, so they're not purple.
743
Diamonds are dirty?
744
No, diamonds look very clean, so they're not dirty.
745
So, of course we say diamonds are shiny and very pretty.
746
That's the correct answer.
747
Four, gold is beep than most rocks.
748
Let's take a look here.
749
Now, A is bigger.
750
Gold is bigger than most rocks.
751
What does that mean?
752
It depends on how much gold.
753
You can have a little bit of gold, you can have a lot of gold.
754
We don't know.
755
And rocks are all sizes.
756
So it doesn't make sense to say gold is bigger than most rocks.
757
That doesn't make sense.
758
The next one is funny.
759
Gold is smarter than most rocks.
760
So rocks are smart than other rocks?
761
than other rocks?
762
That's crazy, right?
763
Rocks can't be smart.
764
Rocks aren't smart at all.
765
Rocks don't think.
766
How can gold be smart?
767
That doesn't make sense.
768
Gold is softer than most rocks.
769
Okay, now we're getting into something that we can say about rocks.
770
Some rocks are hard, some rocks are softer.
771
And as I said before, as we saw in the reading, gold is softer than most rocks.
772
I made a point of saying that because gold is soft, people can make jewelry out of it.
773
They can change the shape of gold more easily.
774
So yes, it's true, gold is softer than most rocks.
775
Not harder, that's the opposite.
776
So the right answer is gold is softer than most rocks.
777
Let's do a little bit of review about special rocks.
778
We're talking about, there are many special rocks.
779
We've talked about specifically two kinds.
780
One is diamonds, the other one is gold.
781
Gold is really more of a metal than a rock, but it can be found in rocks.
782
You can find gold nuggets, which are kind of rocks.
783
But these are gold bars.
784
They're very beautiful, very shiny, and very heavy.
785
One thing this passage didn't say is gold is very heavy.
786
This bar would be really heavy.
787
Okay, let's take a look.
788
People make jewelry with them.
789
Yes, people make jewelry with diamonds and gold.
790
Jewelry, they can make earrings, you make necklaces, rings, all sorts of different kinds of jewelry.
791
That's true.
792
What else?
793
We find these things.
794
How do we find them?
795
We find them by mining.
796
People will dig into the ground to find diamonds and to find gold.
797
One more thing, they are rare and expensive.
798
They are rare and that makes them expensive.
799
If they were common, they wouldn't be expensive.
800
They have to be rare.
801
It's hard to find them and there's not much of them.
802
It's very hard to find these things.
803
Diamonds are very deep underground.
804
You have to dig hard to find diamonds.
805
There's not that much gold in the world.
806
They're rare and they are expensive.
807
Very interesting, talking about precious rocks.
808
Of course, mostly we've talked about diamonds and gold.
809
We've learned some interesting things about these types of rocks and metal.
810
Next time you're looking around, look at the rocks more closely.
811
There's more types of things than diamonds and gold, and who knows, maybe you can find a gold nugget
812
or a diamond if you go to the right places in the world.
813
Anyway that wraps up today's lesson.
814
We'll see you guys later.

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.
