Criando lição...
1
This worm has won more Nobel Prizes than anyone else.
2
Meet C elegans, a worm so small it could pass through the eye of a needle.
3
Thanks to its transparent body and speedy life cycle, scientists were able to track every one of its 959 cells from cradle to grave,
4
building the first complete blueprint of a living organism.
5
They even mapped all of its neurons and their connections, creating the first connectome, kickstarting the science of brain mapping and unlocking powerful genetic tools.
6
C elegans was also the first animal where green fluorescent protein was used to track gene activity.
7
When certain genes were switched on, the worms would literally light up.
8
It even helped us in switching off specific genes, which became a key tool in genetics and drug development.
9
By helping us to find the genes that tell cells when to grow, divide or die, it brought us closer to understanding diseases like cancer.
10
This worm even went to space, helping scientists explore how microgravity affects muscles, aging and DNA repair.
11
If a tiny worm can help win four Nobel Prizes, surely the rest of us can aim for at least one.

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:

  • /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: cradle /ˈkɹeɪdəl/, needle /ˈniː.dəl/

Como praticar com este vídeo

  1. Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
  2. Comece na velocidade 0,75×, faça shadowing frase por frase e volte à velocidade normal quando ficar fácil.
  3. Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como worm, blueprint, fluorescent.

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.
