Part 2.
2
You'll hear a woman called Carol Wilson giving a talk about her job as a forest worker in a wildlife park.
3
For questions 7 to 14, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.
4
You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
5
Thank you.
6
Hi everyone, I'm Carol and I'm here to tell you about my job working in forestry in a wildlife park.
7
I've always loved being outdoors and that influenced my choice of career.
8
I planned to study botany at college, even though my parents wanted me to do environmental studies because they thought it would have a wider application.
9
But then I came across a course on estate management, which ticked all the boxes for me.
10
After graduation, I got a job in forestry, working at a wildlife park.
11
Right from the start, I knew I'd need different practical skills, like digging and putting up fences,
12
but I hadn't predicted a head for height would be equally important.
13
I have to climb to the top of trees to remove branches, which was pretty tough in the initial few weeks.
14
Some people think it's an old-fashioned job, but the equipment we use is state-of-the-art.
15
Some of us describe it as cutting edge.
16
The variety of work was a pleasant surprise when I started, although the central premise of everything we do,
17
which is sustainability, is something I really believe in.
18
Every day is different.
19
Some days I have to work at the information centre at the entrance to the wildlife park.
20
This is a compulsory stop for visitors who have to leave their cars there and cycle or walk around
21
What I do there is explain the rules Like sticking to marked pathways so as not to damage anything Luckily,
22
most visitors are clued up about problems of litter,
23
particularly plastic bags But they're less aware of food which can seriously impact on the wildlife if it's left there
24
I have to make sure they're clear about that.
25
I run awareness seminars for children at the Information Centre to teach them the importance of respecting nature.
26
They're often unaware of the huge biodiversity of the forest, what I choose to call its treasures, which always grabs their attention.
27
As climate change becomes more challenging, we face losing some of our native species.
28
I'm proud to be part of initiatives to nurture and protect endangered wildlife like the hedgehog or insects
29
It's no surprise children love what they think are pretty things like the butterfly which is also declining in numbers
30
Another thing I'm proud of is designing a trail
31
actually called the learning path but I'm amused when the children call it the green detective
32
it shows how engaged they are with it.
33
I wrote a worksheet with pictures of leaves.
34
Children follow the marked route and identify the trees.
35
For any of you thinking of getting involved with forestry, I recommend taking an apprenticeship, because you can get qualifications at the same time as practical experience.
36
A driving licence is an absolute must though because forests tend to be large.
37
It's also useful if you're physically fit, prepared for hard work and have a feeling for nature.
38
It's a really worthwhile career.
39
Now you'll hear part two again.

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.
