Track 20.

reading 10b Life on the Edge.
3
The old ways have little appeal for Malik Lovestrom.
4
A slim 24 -year -old, Lovestrom has lived his whole life in Eumenach.
5
The people in this small town on Greenland's west coast survive mainly on seal hunting and fishing.
6
But Lovestrom's interests lie elsewhere: in rock music and horror movies, He taught himself English by listening to music.
7
and now dreams of working as a tour guide on Greenland's cruise ships.
8
He knows he should move to a larger town, as many of his friends have done.
9
But doing so would leave no one to care for his 80 -year -old grandmother.
10
So he remains in Umanach.
11
Small towns all over Greenland are losing population.
12
Neuronet, a settlement near Umanac, is now home to just 50 people.
13
The instability of towns like these has worsened as a result of climate change.
14
Ice loss has shortened the hunting season.
15
and as a result, traditional hunting and fishing can no longer pay for access to modern amenities.
16
Long before the sea ice disappears, economic and social pressures may force people to leave these settlements.
17
The question of what to do about this problem is a common topic of debate at gatherings known as Café Mique.
18
At one community gathering, Jean -Michel Huckton, a French anthropologist, gets into a lively discussion with a man who is moved to Nook.
19
Greenland's largest town.
20
The subject is the future of places like Njaranet and whether they even have one.
21
Thank you.
22
If we don't move out of isolation, we will always be conservative, The man from Nook tells Huckton, I don't want to live in a museum.
23
I don't want to live in the old way.
24
My son, my daughter should be part of the world.
25
The traditional lifestyles survive only because of government subsidies, he argues.
26
This approach forces young people into a life of hunting and fishing, rather than encouraging them to look beyond tradition.
27
But job opportunities in Greenland are few, Hucked Encounters.
28
Anyway, what would happen to the older hunters?
29
Should they give up their independence, their boats and dog sleds, and live in a city apartment building?
30
"The loss of settlements would be a loss for all," he says.
31
Such places preserve Inuit hunting culture.
32
But Huckton is hopeful.
33
"I think these small, remote communities can invent a sustainable future for themselves," he says.
34
The people have gone from hunting to Facebook in less than a century.
35
I'm sure they will succeed in the future.
36
Fewer people are choosing to stay, however.
37
Even fewer arrive from outside.
38
An exception is Ilanguj Egedei, who moved to Nyarnet to be with his girlfriend.
39
His first job was cleaning the town's toilets.
40
But now he manages the town's power plant.
41
"I like it here a lot," he says.
42
I have a home and a nice salary.
43
"You can feel the freshness here, and it's open," he says.
44
"I don't want to move anyplace else."

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "Reading Unit 10B" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
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.
