Good evening everyone and welcome to Friday's Points West.
2
Amanda with you at the end of another week.
3
Coming up on the programme tonight.
4
Claims that a healthcare company is compromising urgent care.
5
Over a hundred complaints have been made by patients and staff.
6
We challenge the regional director.
7
Decisions around treatment and clinical care will be made by the health professional that is dealing with their care.
8
But they're not delivering the care.
9
So they absolutely are.
10
No, not according to the patients we're seeing.
11
We're seeing patients' safety and quality of care remains our absolute priority.
12
They insist performance has improved and care remains safe.
13
Also on the programme tonight, a new challenge for the amazing Rob Cam,
14
who's spent years fundraising for others after he was paralysed in a car crash over a decade ago.
15
A breakthrough year in the career of Bath tennis player Toby Samuel, who's been selected by Great Britain to play in the Davis Cup.
16
And come by for the start of the international Supreme Sheepdog Trials, hosted in Gloucestershire this year by Royal Approval.
17
First tonight, dozens of patients have raised concerns about a company responsible for community health care in part of the West.
18
One of the region's MPs has received over 100 complaints about HCRG Care Group, some from frontline staff.
19
The problems include delays to urgent nursing care and missed appointments.
20
Our health correspondent, Matthew Hill, reports.
21
For years, Deborah relied on community nurses in Swindon to help manage painful leg ulcers.
22
I had them every day at one time, then it reduced to three days a week, it's now down to two, but then you're lucky if you get the two.
23
The main nurse would be contacted.
24
Nothing happened.
25
I could have had an infection and been at the hospital or been on a drip again, or had sepsis.
26
Deborah is one of more than 100 cases now raised with a Wiltshire MP about the HCRG Care Group,
27
the private company responsible for community health care services across Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire.
28
If you are calling the clinical assessment...
29
Many complaints are about a single point of access telephone system.
30
It seems like what they're trying to do is to cut their costs, but in doing so, they're cutting the service. And it's...
31
As it stands at the moment, it's just not...
32
It's not acceptable.
33
One woman whose husband has a spinal injury told me delays could have life-threatening consequences.
34
She didn't want to be identified.
35
They then try and persuade you to sort it out yourself, at which point I'm saying, no, this needs...
36
The catheter needs to be changed.
37
It needs to be changed now because he's at risk of autonomic dysreflexia, which then is a serious problem and can kill you.
38
Meanwhile, frontline staff have also approached the BBC with one district nurse telling me workloads have risen sharply since HCRG took over.
39
We've got to the point where in an eight-hour shift you would see eight patients.
40
We're seeing 12 to 14.
41
Patients are definitely suffering.
42
Their concerns echo a story we brought to you earlier this year.
43
Just days before she died, 77-year-old Maureen Harris invited us into her home.
44
She'd been living with cancer for 25 years.
45
You're on your own at night, and that, believe me, as a daughter, that's the most terrifying time.
46
In Maureen's final days, Shelley says she repeatedly tried to get urgent help.
47
Now, one of those calls we made, which I've got documented, took 18 hours for a callback.
48
In an exclusive interview, the company responsible for these issues has apologised, but HCRG have defended their new call handling system.
49
We had over 200 access points.
50
It was a very fragmented service.
51
and our patients and service users were asking for change and our commissioners asked us to deliver a single point of access.
52
So technically, yes, we had some challenges in the first couple of weeks.
53
I apologise, we have very much improved now.
54
It's very easy to answer a phone more quickly, but are you actually then providing what's needed?
55
That's the big question.
56
That's what patients tell us you're not doing.
57
Decisions around treatment and clinical care will be made by the health professional that is dealing with their care.
58
But they're not delivering the care.
59
So they absolutely are.
60
No, not according to the patients we're seeing.
61
Patient safety and quality of care remains our absolute priority.
62
Some people would say it's not patient safety that's your priority, it's profits.
63
I can absolutely reiterate that my decisions are made on patient safety and quality.
64
I have never had to make a decision based on profit.
65
Despite these assurances, patients and their MP will be watching to make sure there are real improvements.
66
Matthew Hill, BBC Points West.
67
And if you've received healthcare from HCRG, then do let us know about your experiences by getting in
68
touch using one of the ways you can see on your screen now.
69
We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
70
Five men who carried out a serious attack outside Bristol Airport, which holidaymakers thought was an act of terror, have been jailed.
71
The gang waited for their victims to leave the terminal pick-up
72
point by car They then crashed into the vehicle by the airport entrance before attacking the two men inside with bats.
73
The gang each received sentences of between three and four years.
74
A support network that's helped former soldiers find work and feel less isolated is hoping to reach thousands more veterans across Gloucestershire.
75
It's based on the success of the Hive project in the Forest of Dean, which offers veterans and their families a range of free support services.
76
Our Gloucestershire reporter Steve Nibbs has the story.
77
The Hive in Cinderford brings veterans together every month.
78
Funded by the district council, it offers them a range of support.
79
We've had individuals come in who have been coached
80
through some different services like Help for Heroes on creating CVs and having some work coaching and getting back into employment.
81
But one of the things we're keen to do is work with local employers
82
so that they can understand that there's a community out there of perhaps younger veterans who are looking for work.
83
Terry Hughes has plenty of reasons to visit the Hive.
84
He's one of the British nuclear test veterans, one of the lab rats, still campaigning for a government apology, but grateful for the support on his doorstep.
85
I've been coming to the first one with Fran from the council advice it's all
86
and I think they're excellent we didn't know about the support groups at the time
87
but having seen these support groups I've actually caught on two of them
88
and helped very very good now very good that's the American
89
and then there's Catherine her late husband who served in the
90
Polish army rarely talked about his time in service she says
91
the hive gives her a chance to learn from others it's hearing
92
that other people have stories and how they deal with them.
93
Because my husband never talked about it and some of these people are able to talk.
94
So although they might have been in the Navy, the Army, it gives you an insight that different people, different opinions.
95
The Hive put on a special day for veterans at the Wilderness Centre where there was talk of a new target.
96
Along with others, the team were applying for up to £1 million
97
from the government's Valour programme to plug gaps in veteran support throughout the county.
98
There are support services out there and we want people to know
99
that they exist because they're there to support that community and that's the importance of it.
100
It's sharing the information and also hearing people's story to understand we can meet their needs.
101
If successful, this will push much needed support to over 27,000 veterans in Gloucestershire over three years.
102
Steve Nibbs, BBC Points West, Cinderford.
103
Amazing work being done.
104
You're watching Points West, it's Friday night.
105
Here we are at the start of the weekend.
106
I hope you've got some nice things planned.
107
But stay with us tonight, we've got lots more to share with you.
108
Between now and 7 o'clock, Damien will be here shortly with a look ahead at all the weekend's football action.
109
And join me from a wicker basket dangling above Longleague's Quarry
110
Park visitors usually come here to see the animals in their enclosures today they're in the sky
111
catch up with Cheryl shortly first the west of England mayor
112
who's in charge of a new tourist tax on overnight stays
113
says it will be set below five percent the fee is
114
expected to come into effect within the next three years
115
and is likely to be applied to people staying in hotels bed and breakfasts
116
and airbnbs now you might remember on last night's program the
117
council leader in bath kevin guy told us he thinks money
118
raised by the tourist tax in his city should stay in his city
119
so we put that to helen godwin my job is a region to look at the whole region
120
and i think we've moved on quite a way
121
and in terms of uh not thinking of the west of england as somewhere
122
that has a border between South Gloucestershire and Bristol or Bristol and Bath and North East Somerset, with North Somerset hopefully joining in the next few months.
123
We've sort of moved on from that.
124
And I think what we'll need to be looking at in this case, as we do with everything now, is what are the regional priorities and working backwards from there.
125
They'll be talking that through a bit more, I'm sure.
126
The tourism tax is just one of a number of topics up for discussion on this weekend's Politics West.
127
Let's hear what else David has got for us this Sunday.
128
Yes, Amanda, you'll be thrilled to know that politics is back after a long, hot summer.
129
But this Sunday, we're looking forward to the autumn and what might happen politically, including the possibility, perhaps, of a general election.
130
What, another one?
131
We're also looking into the housing crisis in Bristol and what they're doing to provide more homes.
132
And we'll be following up on that story about social care provided by a private company.
133
Now, we're on early this Sunday at 8.30 on BBC One.
134
That's because of the great Northern Ron.
135
Set your alarms, politics fans.
136
Next, we are off to join Rob Cam from Gloucestershire.
137
Today, he has completed a five-kilometre indoor rowing challenge, just over three miles.
138
Rob was paralysed from the neck down when he was 19 after he was injured in a car crash near Dursley.
139
Now, we've reported on Rob's incredible achievements since then, including climbing Snowdon and becoming a solicitor.
140
Here's Scott Ellis.
141
13 years a tetraplegic and still pushing himself.
142
Rowing five kilometres this afternoon to raise money for the charity here in Armandsbury
143
which uses exercise to help rehabilitate people with spinal injuries.
144
Sport's always been important to Rob.
145
I was always very keen on exercise and being fit before my injury
146
and so it's good to keep doing that
147
and also it's just good to keep myself as fit and active as I can do, really, so that things keep working the way they should.
148
A friend helped convert the bicycle into a rowing machine.
149
Rob then basically is strapped in and uses the muscles which he still has to row.
150
He's only really got shoulder shrug function, so he's really using just the momentum of shrugging up and leaning forwards to do this whole rowing movement.
151
Rob hasn't let injury dent his ambition.
152
He graduated from Bristol University and now works as a solicitor.
153
He's completed many adventures, including getting up Snowdon.
154
I think it is keeping busy, challenging himself.
155
What's next?
156
We're always looking at what can we do next?
157
What's risky?
158
What makes his mother wince?
159
This is his most recent adventure.
160
abseiling off a bridge in the Peak District with his sister.
161
My mum wasn't very happy.
162
She pointed out to Dad that it was both of their children and that he was putting over a bridge.
163
But you keep doing these things?
164
Yeah.
165
So you're not going to listen to your mum?
166
No, not on those things.
167
Rob completed his rowing challenge this afternoon.
168
Raising money via JustGiving, it'll pay for others to come here and have a course of physical rehabilitation for their injuries.
169
Scott Ellis, BBC Points West, Bristol.
170
Rob, you're brilliant.
171
Now let's take a look at some of the articles waiting for your perusal on the BBC News website
172
if you've got a moment this evening.
173
Among the many 9-11 commemorations today, there are some moving accounts here by people from the West who witnessed the planes hitting the Twin Towers
174
and who lost colleagues working at the Pentagon 25 years ago.
175
A statue's been unveiled at a park in Bristol to honour 10 miners killed in an explosion there 140 years ago.
176
Organisers didn't want the Dean Lane pit disaster to ever be forgotten.
177
And Somerset County Cricket Club's bringing a new music event this summer to Taunton.
178
Somerset Sounds, they've called it, bringing visitors' money and jobs into the local economy.
179
You can find all those stories and more on the BBC News website and app.
180
Next, a landlord who opened his pub as a rest centre
181
following a school bus crash in West Somerset has now received his British Empire Medal.
182
Eric Norman runs the Rest and Be Thankful pub in Weddon Cross.
183
After the crash, he helps the children, school staff, parents and emergency services by letting them use the pub as a refuge.
184
The Lord Lieutenant of Somerset presented Mr Norman with his award and said his actions were exemplary.
185
The Princess Royal's been the guest of honour at the International Supreme Sheepdog Trials, taking place near Mortonim Marsh in Gloucestershire.
186
They got underway earlier with the winner crowned on Sunday.
187
Michael Cowan went along.
188
A royal seal of approval for the most accomplished sheepdogs in the land.
189
The international sheepdog trials are in their 120th year of competition
190
and for 2026 are being hosted at Dalesford Farm in the Cotswolds.
191
So this is the major sheepdog trial.
192
This is the Olympics of sheepdog trialing.
193
So each nation, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, competed in their national trials back in the summer.
194
150 dogs competed at those trials or each trial, which is 600 dogs we're now down to the top 60,
195
so 15 from each nation come to compete in the international.
196
Now each trial, as you can see here, lasts 15 minutes and it's designed around a series of challenges to test the dog handlers
197
and the sheepdog's agility when it comes to shepherding sheep.
198
And for the competitors, it's hard work.
199
Grace is 17 years old and along with dog Ben, impressed the judges so much she was promoted to the adult competition from the Junior League.
200
Yes, I was really nervous.
201
I was the very first run, so in a way you don't really get to make a plan or see how the runs or the sheep are going.
202
But it's quite exciting in a way because you know, you kind of just open the whole event, it's quite nice and I was just looking forward to getting out there
203
and the goal was to just stay out there as long as possible.
204
The trials are on until Sunday when a finalist will be crowned the international supreme champion.
205
Michael Cowan, BBC Points West, in the Cotswolds.
206
Incredible.
207
It's like poetry in motion, isn't it?
208
And those dog-human partnerships are just amazing.
209
Well, it's been an incredible year for Bath-based tennis player Toby Samuel.
210
Here's Damien to tell us more about that.
211
And another big event coming up, is there?
212
Absolutely, Amanda.
213
Yeah, he's been selected to play for Great Britain in the Davis Cup in just over a week's time, joining the likes of Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Ferry.
214
It's a reward for a breakthrough year that's seen his rankings soar into the top 100.
215
Today he's been back at the University of Bath to prepare for his international debut.
216
Here's our sports editor Ali Durden.
217
It is very rare to find Toby in Bath these days.
218
Such is the level of his success.
219
He started 2026 claiming five titles on the Challenger Tour, including winning 15 matches in a row.
220
He then qualified for the French Open for the first time.
221
Then in June reached the semi-finals at Eastbourne on the main tour before making his debut in the men's singles at Wimbledon.
222
And he's just come back from the US Open where he
223
won a Grand Slam match for the first time in his career.
224
I don't really know how it happened.
225
I sort of just got on a winning streak and I just didn't really stop.
226
I felt like I couldn't really lose to anybody.
227
I was pretty nervous going to the tournament.
228
You've seen the top guys there in the locker rooms and playing against them.
229
I was, like, shaking a little bit on court.
230
But I think after the second or third time I did it, I sort of got more used to it and I felt like I was a lot calmer on the court, which helped me go deep this time.
231
His coaches at the University of Bath have helped Toby overcome
232
injuries to rise from around 2,000 in the world rankings to the top 100.
233
He must have gone up the most spots of pretty much anyone in the world over the last 16 months.
234
So yeah, it just doesn't happen.
235
And we, you know, as a coaching team, we've kept saying, well, OK, we'll get to the next level and, you know, be ready for the new challenge.
236
And so far, he's just found a way to overcome it.
237
There's no limit for him.
238
You know, his game is spectacular.
239
He's got everything.
240
And we're looking forward to seeing how far he can go.
241
And that next challenge is the Davis Cup, after getting the call last week to represent his country.
242
It was unbelievable.
243
It was one of the best moments of my tennis life.
244
It's what every British player wants to be, play for their country.
245
I'm really looking forward to it and sharing that with some friends as well and some great people in the British team, that would be a great thing.
246
That includes his former junior doubles partner, Arthur Ferry.
247
Looks so young in that.
248
He's gone on to become a Wimbledon semi-finalist this year.
249
He's sort of, obviously, British number one now and he's almost like, he's the one they're trying to go get and he sets the standard for us, yeah.
250
It's fine to be you next year.
251
Yeah, I hope so.
252
Oh, wow!
253
After the year he's had, watch this space.
254
Alistair Durden, BBC Points West.
255
Well, good luck to Toby.
256
Now, there's plenty of football news, so let's start with Bristol City captain Jason Knight, who hasn't ruled out signing a new contract,
257
despite having less than 12 months left on his current deal.
258
The club put out a statement last week confirming that talks had stalled with a 25-year-old Ireland international.
259
City travel to Southampton tomorrow on the back of three successive wins.
260
Yeah, I just think we just haven't reached an agreement yet, and that's natural in football.
261
I'm not saying that's ever going to happen or it's not going to happen.
262
It's just we're just not there at the moment, and the football has sort of taken priority because it's a championship.
263
You don't really get a minute either way to sort of sit down and chat about it.
264
But we're both aligned and happy where we're at at the moment, and then maybe down the line we'll try and sort things out.
265
Both Bristol City and Bristol Rovers are unusually in fine form at the same time.
266
And whether you're a red or a blue, Radio Bristol have got you covered.
267
Yes, struggling to remember the last time City and Rovers both won three games in the same week.
268
This weekend is an extended Saturday sport.
269
We'll start with Grimsby Town against the League Two leaders Bristol Rovers.
270
That's followed at three.
271
Bristol City are at Southampton.
272
We've also got rugby, the Prem Rugby Cup.
273
It's Exeter against Bristol Bears.
274
And the action starts this weekend from 12.
275
Cheltenham also have an early kick-off, just like Rovers.
276
And the League Two table makes for happy reading at this early stage of the season.
277
Rovers proudly topped with Swindon nestled in just behind them and Cheltenham a couple of points away.
278
Commentary of all those matches along with Yeovil and Forest Green in the National League available on your BBC local radio station.
279
And staying with non-league
280
and as we revealed on last night's programme the sale of Bar City football has been confirmed
281
and new owners are planning for the future.
282
The takeover by a group which includes Tears for Fears co-founder Kurt Smith brings around six million pounds of investment.
283
Bath City currently play in the seventh tier of English football having been relegated last season.
284
We're prioritizing investing into the infrastructure,
285
investing into the teams and really trying to kind of tighten our relationship with the fans
286
and the supports of the club which we think is a great opportunity.
287
Bath City's a community focused club and that's not going to change that's something we want to lean into.
288
And the good news isn't limited to football as Somerset's hopes
289
of winning Cricket's County Championship for the first time remain high after an emphatic victory over Leicestershire.
290
Jack Leach took the last two wickets to help his side back to the top of the table.
291
They remain four points clear of Nottinghamshire with two matches left to play.
292
So as the cricket season draws to a close, rugby has only just begun.
293
It's It's the second round of the Prem Cup with Bristol Bears and Gloucester both playing at three o'clock tomorrow.
294
Bath have the weekend off.
295
And if rugby is your thing and you don't have three
296
and a half hours to commit to Lawrence of Arabia on BBC Two, then head to the iPlayer to watch the World Cup winning Red Roses take on Australia tomorrow.
297
Amanda, there is plenty of West Country talent on show.
298
You are not wrong.
299
We will be hoarse with all the cheering that we have to do.
300
It's a busy weekend, isn't it?
301
Damien, thank you very much.
302
Good to see you.
303
Right then, visitors to Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire will be looking upwards this weekend.
304
The Icons of the Sky three-day event has begun with more than 50 balloons.
305
Aren't they incredible?
306
Taking off from the estate this morning.
307
It's 60 years since the first drive-through safari opened outside Africa.
308
We sent Cheryl Dennis to float above the lions.
309
A ballooning spectacle with longleat as its backdrop.
310
Usually all eyes are on the animals today they're the ones gazing at something a bit different.
311
They hear that first so they all see and they're looking up
312
because it's something unusual you don't see
313
that every day hundreds of balloons going over
314
so it's just something same with people you notice
315
when all people everybody's like that everybody's looking up in the sky and that's what the cats are doing.
316
Once the morning mist had lifted, it was ideal weather for flying.
317
51 balloons delighting those who set their alarms.
318
It's 60 years ago that Longley opened the first safari drive-thru outside of Africa.
319
But the park also has a big link to aviation, which goes back 50 years.
320
There's many archive pictures and videos
321
and stories about balloons being at Longleat to even areas of the park that we name certain roads like the balloon track.
322
The first balloon unexpectedly landed at Longleat back in 1824.
323
Balloons follow the wind.
324
Luckily for us, rangers were on hand in case anyone unexpectedly landed in with the lions.
325
Last night we put them in so they got the big paddocks to stay in
326
so we knew where they were just in case the worst case scenario happens
327
which has never happened here and we keep an eye on the tigers
328
and lions to make sure that they're fine
329
and just monitor them through the day because we never know
330
which way the wind's going to change because it might be blowing
331
that way first thing and then it changes and goes
332
that way and obviously for safari park reasons we prefer it
333
when it goes that way
334
and the wind did blow in the safe direction yeah preparation
335
for landing um for us we could drop right down see
336
what the wind is doing the direction has changed for me about 30 degrees so
337
a gentle landing a comfortable distance from the real lions of longleat
338
cheryl dennis bbc points west at longleat safari park in wiltshire very glad
339
that the weather played ball there and everything happened safely um quite a sight isn't it beautiful stuff now hopefully
340
You saw a nice bit of sunshine out there today.
341
The weather was all right, wasn't it really?
342
And we're at the weekend now, so let's see how that forecast has been shaping up.
343
Here's Shefali Oza.
344
Hello, good evening.
345
Well, it was a lovely morning to wake up to.
346
The sun was beating down on most parts of the region.
347
And we've got a lovely selection of Weather Watchers pictures to illustrate that from Bristol through to Glastonbury and also Gloucester.
348
Our temperatures eventually picked up to about 21 Celsius in the southern half of the region, which is fractionally above average now for the time of year.
349
Temperatures average out at around 18 to 20 Celsius for mid-September.
350
But it's going to get even warmer over the weekend, so we've got a snippet of summer.
351
We're just about clinging on to it.
352
High pressure is with us at the moment, but we've got a set of fronts passing through Saturday night into Sunday.
353
That will bring a dose of rain, which, of course, is much needed, but we would like some dry weather for those outdoor events taking place over the weekend.
354
Tonight, though, that cloud is melting away.
355
Under clearer skies, we'll see our temperatures down to single figures of 9 Celsius across the south.
356
Further north, around 10 to 11 or 12 Celsius.
357
And that breeze is going to be freshening from a southwesterly direction.
358
So it's going to be a breezier day overall tomorrow, a bit blowy, and that will blow in that cloud from the northwest with an incoming front.
359
So we start off with a bit of brightness in the southeast of the region
360
and that front will be weakening all the while as it moves through tomorrow night.
361
But initially, I think, as you saw there, we'll get some heavy bursts of rain towards the northern fringes and then lighter outbreaks moving through tomorrow evening and overnight.
362
But during the day, top temperatures of 23 Celsius, again, above average for the time of year and even warmer for Sunday.
363
That rain should be out of the way by the morning, so we're looking at some cloud to start off with, but brighter by the afternoon, highs of 23 to 24 Celsius with lighter winds.
364
Thank you, Shefali.
365
Half-decent weather to enjoy the weekend with.
366
Then let's make the most of the bright bits.
367
That's it from the team here tonight.
368
Thanks to you at home for joining us.
369
I will have one last update at 10 o'clock.
370
Enjoy your evening.
371
See you a bit later.
372
Bye-bye.

Кому подходит это видео?
Это видео идеально подходит для учеников английского среднего уровня, желающих улучшить произношение английского и научиться понимать разговорный язык в новостном контексте. Оно поможет тренироваться в восприятии быстрого речи, а также освоить специфику профессиональной лексики (медицинской, политической). Если вы учите английский по видео и используете метод shadowing, это отличный материал для практики — диалог между репортером, пациентами и представителями компании содержит разнообразные интонации и темпы речи.
Полезные слова и идиомы
- Compromising — нарушать, ставить под угрозу. В видео: "compromising urgent care" — нарушение срочной медицинской помощи.
- Fragmented service — фрагментированная услуга. Используется для описания неорганизованного системы работы.
- Life-threatening consequences — угрожающие жизни последствия. Пример: "delays could have life-threatening consequences" — задержки могут привести к опасности для жизни.
- Callback — возвратный звонок. В контексте: "took 18 hours for a callback" — на возвратный звонок ушло 18 часов.
Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте
В новостном диалоге важно обратить внимание на ритм и логическое ударение. Репортеры often stress ключевые слова (например, "100 complaints", "urgent help") для выделения важности. Для тренировки используйте метод shadowing: повторяйте фразы сразу после спикера, копируя его темп и интонацию. Обратите внимание на звук /θ/ в словах like "healthcare", "through" — многие ученики заменяют его на /s/ или /f/, но в правильной речи он важен. Также практикуйте произношение длинных слов: "autonomic dysreflexia" (аутономическая дисрефлексия) — разбейте их на слоги: au-to-nom-ic dys-re-flex-i-a. Используйте shadowing site для записи своей речи и сравнения с оригиналом — это поможет увидеть разницу и улучшить качество произношения.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжается | I've been coming · has been shaping |
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | have been made · has improved · who's been selected |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | have been made · will be made · was paralysed |
| Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете | men who carried · trial, which is · those who set |
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
