I'm Josipa and for me spending a night under the stars is about slowing down, looking up
7
and feeling a bit of magic in the air isn't it
8
you might have heard the phrase under the stars it simply
9
means being outside at night with the sky stretching above you
10
imagine this last month you went on a stargazing tour a lovely auntie that's the respectful way to address
11
or talk about an older Aboriginal woman.
12
Well, she shared some incredible stories.
13
In her culture, the stars were like a map.
14
People used them to find their way and for hunting.
15
Fascinating, isn't it?
16
So, you think, I want to share this.
17
You invite your friends to go stargazing with you.
18
And just so we are clear, stargazing is really just looking at the stars for fun.
19
You can lie on the grass in your backyard or if you want to get fancy, go to an observatory.
20
That's a special building where people study the sky with giant telescopes
21
and all sorts of gear that help you see things way, way up there.
22
There you are, heading out to the mountains with your friends.
23
Alan's packed the picnic, Claire's got a massive thermos of tea and you've thrown in the blankets,
24
plus your notebook, because you know you're about to pick up some new phrases for talking about the night sky.
25
Wow, that view of the Milky Way is out of this world.
26
Yeah, you can see the Southern Cross clear as day.
27
Well, no. Oi, quick, catch that shooting star.
28
Did you make a wish?
29
Too slow, it's gone.
30
What did you wish for?
31
Actually, nah, don't tell me or it won't come true.
32
Not saying.
33
But it starts with winning and ends with lotto?
34
Shooting for the moon, huh?
35
Classic Claire.
36
Do you ever try out a new English phrase with your friends
37
or at work and feel really happy and proud of yourself?
38
That feeling of being so happy?
39
Well, you could describe it by saying you are over the moon.
40
Claire was over the moon when she realized that she could actually see the galaxy we live in.
41
A galaxy is a huge collection of billions of stars, dust and gas.
42
She said, Wow, that view of the Milky Way is out of this world.
43
The Milky Way is the galaxy we live in.
44
You can see it on a clear night when there are no clouds, especially in the outback.
45
Way better than in the city because there is less light from buildings.
46
Claire said that the view of the Milky Way was out of this world.
47
If something is out of this world, it is amazing or impressive.
48
For example, the blueberry cake Alan brought in his picnic basket was out of this world too.
49
Then Alan said...
50
Yeah, you can see the Southern Cross clear as day.
51
Well, night.
52
The Southern Cross is a small group of stars shaped like a cross.
53
You can only see it from this part of the world, the Southern Hemisphere, and it's even on the Australian flag,
54
so it has a special place in our hearts.
55
The next time you are out at night, take a look up and see if you can find it.
56
Alan said he can see the Southern Cross clear as day.
57
When something is clear as day, it is very easy to see, understand or notice.
58
It's so obvious that you can't miss it.
59
You can use this expression in all sorts of situations.
60
For example, can you think of times when you've noticed a friend was upset, even though they didn't say anything?
61
It was probably clear as day that they weren't happy.
62
Claire then said, Oi, quick, catch that shooting star.
63
Did you make a wish?
64
When Claire shouts, Catch that shooting star.
65
She doesn't mean grab it because, well, that's impossible.
66
A shooting star is actually a tiny space rock called a meteor
67
that burns up and so looks very bright as it falls through the sky.
68
To catch a shooting star means to try to see the star before it disappears.
69
Have you ever tried stargazing during a meteor shower?
70
It's like a fireworks show but in space.
71
A meteor shower is when lots of shooting stars appear in the sky together for a short period of time.
72
Claire also asked Alan if he made a wish when a shooting star passed across the sky.
73
And he replied...
74
Too slow.
75
It's gone.
76
What did you wish for?
77
Actually, nah, don't tell me or it won't come true.
78
People from many cultures believe that seeing a shooting star can bring luck.
79
That's a superstition, of course.
80
A superstition is a belief that something can bring good or bad luck, even though there is no real proof for it.
81
Some people also believe that any wish that you make on a shooting star, you should keep a secret.
82
They think that if you say your wish out loud, it will lose its magic and so it won't happen.
83
That's another superstition.
84
You may not believe in superstitions, but you can still make a wish when you see a shooting star, like I do every time.
85
At the end of the dialogue, Alan said, Shooting for the moon, huh?
86
Classic Claire.
87
Here Alan is teasing Claire a little.
88
You can say that someone is shooting for the moon
89
when they are aiming really high or trying to achieve something that is very big even when it seems impossible.
90
It's a fun way to say that someone is dreaming big.
91
I'm shooting for the moon every time when I try to explain the difference between astrology and astronomy.
92
I know the words, but I always mix them up.
93
Maybe, maybe if I explain them to you, I'll remember it forever.
94
Here I go, shooting for the moon once again.
95
But let me try.
96
Astronomy is a science.
97
It's about studying space, stars, planets, galaxies, and everything in the universe.
98
Scientists use telescopes and all sorts of equipment to understand how the universe works.
99
So that's astronomy.
100
On the other hand, astrology is not science.
101
It's the idea that the position of stars and planets can influence your personality or future.
102
People who believe in astrology make or read horoscopes.
103
A horoscope is a forecast of a person's future based on the position of the stars and planets when they were born.
104
You might enjoy reading horoscopes, even if you don't really believe them.
105
Now, let's see if I can memorize the difference between astrology and astronomy while you listen to the dialogue one more time.
106
Wow, that view of the Milky Way is out of this world.
107
Yeah, you can see the Southern Cross clear as day.
108
Well, no. Oi, quick, catch that shooting star.
109
Did you make a wish?
110
Too slow, it's gone.
111
What did you wish for?
112
Actually, nah, don't tell me or it won't come true.
113
Not saying.
114
But it starts with winning and ends with lotto?
115
Shooting for the moon, huh?
116
Classic, Claire.
117
It's time to practice.
118
See if you remember the meaning before hearing the answer.
119
What is astronomy?
120
Astronomy is a science.
121
It's about studying space, stars, planets, galaxies and everything in the universe.
122
Scientists use telescopes and all sorts of equipment to understand how the universe works.
123
What? is astrology.
124
Astrology is not science.
125
It's the idea that the position of stars and planets can influence your personality or future, like reading horoscopes.
126
Now let's practice speaking by repeating after Alan and Claire.
127
Wow, that view of the Milky Way is out of this world!
128
I can see the Southern Cross clear as day.
129
Oi, quick!
130
Catch that shooting star!
131
I enjoy stargazing during a meteor shower.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
