Track 14 Reading 7b City of the Future To appreciate the audacity of Dubai,
2
you could start by going skiing.
3
The ski resort, located inside one of the city's shopping malls, looks from the outside like a silver spaceship.
4
You put on a thick coat, pull on your gloves, and then marvel at what strong air conditioning can do.
5
At the exit, you can buy a souvenir t -shirt.
6
A cartoon thermometer in Celsius announces, I went from plus 50 to minus 8.
7
Indoor skiing in the desert has become a symbol of Dubai's status as a wealthy, modern metropolis.
8
Originally a small fishing village, Dubai's fortunes changed forever with the discovery of oil in the 1960s.
9
Since then, it has evolved to become the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, with over 3 million residents,
10
huge shopping malls, and 100 high -rise towers.
11
But the rapid growth has come at a price.
12
To power its cars and air conditioning, the city has produced large amounts of carbon dioxide, CO2, from fossil fuels.
13
By 2006, Dubai had one of the largest ecological footprints in the world.
14
But now it is making some big changes.
15
To reduce its dependence on cars and lower its emissions, Dubai has invested in solar energy,
16
green buildings, and a comprehensive public transportation system.
17
Gleaming driverless trains now run beside the main roads.
18
In addition, all new buildings must meet strict energy regulations.
19
Smart lighting and cooling systems must switch off when no people are present in a room.
20
New buildings must also use solar panels for water heating.
21
The leadership has recognized that the growth of the economy is not sustainable without taking action on emissions,
22
says Tanzid Alam, a climate and energy specialist.
23
The most striking development can be found where the city's suburbs meet the desert.
24
Unlike much of Dubai, the sustainable city to the south feels more like a close -knit village community.
25
About 500 low -rise houses are distributed along attractive tree -lined streets.
26
They all face north, away from direct sunlight, and are close together to provide natural shade.
27
Each building has reflective windows and wall paint, which reduce the heat absorbed from the sun.
28
Rooftop solar panels and energy -saving lights contribute to the community's energy efficiency.
29
As a result, residents of the sustainable city now consume 50 % less energy than people living in other parts of Dubai.
30
A decade ago, the idea of a fully sustainable community was thought to be unrealistic.
31
But times have changed, says Faris Saeed, one of the creators of the sustainable city.
32
So too have prices.
33
The cost of living in the sustainable city is similar to some of Dubai's other neighborhoods.
34
It's a myth that sustainable has to be more expensive, Said says.
35
Dubai's leaders hope the sustainable city will become a model for the future.
36
By 2050, the government intends to obtain 75 % of the city's energy from renewable sources, mainly solar.
37
It also wants to have the smallest ecological footprint in the world.
38
The The plan is audacious, but if successful, even guilt -free skiing in the desert could become an environmentally sustainable reality.

O Cenário: Dubai, uma Cidade do Futuro em Transformação

Ao assistir ao vídeo, mergulhamos no contexto de Dubai, uma metrópole que evoluiu de uma pequena vila de pescadores para uma cidade rica e moderna, mas que agora busca equilíbrio ambiental. A narrativa explora como a cidade lida com os desafios de seu crescimento rápido, investindo em energia solar, edifícios sustentáveis e transporte público. Esse cenário real serve como base para praticar a compreensão de textos informativos em inglês, além de expandir o vocabulário sobre temas atuais como sustentabilidade e inovação.

Trechos Úteis e Colocações para Memorizar

  • Ecological footprint: "Huella ecológica" – Expressão chave para falar de impacto ambiental. Exemplo: "Dubai tinha uma das maiores ecological footprints do mundo em 2006."
  • Renewable sources: "Fontes renováveis" – Fundamental para discutir energia limpa. Exemplo: "O governo pretende obter 75% da energia de renewable sources até 2050."
  • Carbon dioxide emissions: "Emissões de dióxido de carbono" – Essencial para temas climáticos. Exemplo: "A cidade reduziu as carbon dioxide emissions graças ao transporte público."
  • Close-knit community: "Comunidade unida" – Descreve laços fortes entre moradores. Exemplo: "A sustainable city é uma close-knit community com 500 casas."

Seu Desafio de Shadowing: Pratique a Pronúncia e a Fluência

O shadowing (ou "shadow speak") é uma técnica eficaz para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a fluência. Aqui está sua tarefa: reproduza o trecho do vídeo que fala sobre a "sustainable city" (de "Unlike much of Dubai..." até "consume 50% less energy..."). Repita cada frase imediatamente após ouvi-la, tentando igualar a entonação, o ritmo e a pronúncia. Isso ajuda a treinar o ouvido e a boca a se adaptarem aos sons do inglês. Para intensificar a prática de conversação em inglês, depois de fazer o shadowing, resuma o trecho em suas próprias palavras, falando em voz alta. Essa combinação de imitação e produção ajuda a internalizar o vocabulário e a estrutura gramatical de forma natural. Lembre: a chave é a consistência – mesmo 5 minutos por dia podem fazer uma grande diferença no seu progresso.

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.
