Практика Shadowing: 27 Facts That Will Make You Question Your Existence - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Создание урока...
1
This is Earth.
2
This is where you live.
3
And this is where you live in your neighborhood.
4
The solar system.
5
Here's the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
6
Doesn't look too far, does it?
7
Think again.
8
At their farthest point, the Earth and the Moon are 252,088 miles away.
9
Inside that distance, you can fit every planet in our entire solar system.
10
But let's talk about planets.
11
The great red spot on Jupiter, that's about two times as big as Earth.
12
And Saturn is about nine times wider than Earth.
13
Saturn's rings are so large that a few of the fragments within them are as large as mountains.
14
But that's nothing compared to our sun.
15
Just remember, this is Earth.
16
And this is Earth from the Moon.
17
This is Earth from Mars.
18
Here's Earth from just behind Saturn's rings.
19
And here's Earth from just beyond Neptune, four billion miles away.
20
But a billion's a big number, so let's put that in perspective.
21
One million seconds equals about 11 and a half days, whereas one billion seconds equals over 31 years.
22
Let's step back a bit.
23
Here's the size of Earth compared with the size of our sun.
24
Terrifying, right?
25
And here's that exact same sun from the surface of Mars.
26
As Carl Sagan once mused, The total number of stars in the universe is larger than
27
all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth.
28
And there are some stars out there that are much, much bigger than our little wimpy sun.
29
The biggest star we know of, V.Y.
30
Canis Majoris, is about 2,000 times the diameter of our sun.
31
But none of those compares to the size of a galaxy.
32
In fact, if you shrink the size of our solar system down to the size of a quarter, and shrink the Milky Way galaxy down using the same scale,
33
the diameter of the Milky Way will be roughly the size of the United States.
34
That's because the Milky Way galaxy is huge.
35
Its diameter is about 100,000 light years wide, which, when converted to miles, is about 621 quadrillion, 371 trillion,
36
192 billion, 237 million, 333,890 miles.
37
Inside of all of that is you.
38
You live in this tiny, tiny portion of the Milky Way.
39
But even still, our galaxy is a little runt compared with some others.
40
NGC 6744, a spiral galaxy similar to our own, is twice as wide as the Milky Way,
41
stretching over 200,000 light years across.
42
It is massive. But let's think bigger.
43
In this picture alone, taken by the Hubble telescope, there are thousands and thousands of galaxies,
44
each containing millions or billions of stars with their own planets.
45
Some of the objects seen here may have formed as many as 11 billion years ago, just 3 billion years after the Big Bang.
46
This period of time is considered one of the busiest star-forming periods.
47
And just keep this in mind, that's a picture of a very small, small part of the universe.
48
So if you're ever feeling upset about your favorite show being cancelled, or the fact that they play Christmas music way too early, just remember, this is your home.
49
Earth.

О этом уроке

В этом уроке ты попрактикуешься в аудировании и репетиции английской речи, используя видеоматериал о космосе. Ты узнаешь удивительные факты о Земле, Солнце и галактиках, а также улучшишь произношение английского с помощью техники shadow speak. Это отличная возможность научиться понимать естественную речь и повторять её ритм и интонацию.

Ключевой вокабуляр и фразы

  • Solar system — Солнечная система
  • Light year — Световой год
  • Spiral galaxy — Спиральная галактика
  • "Question your existence" — "Задать вопрос самому себе о смысле существования"
  • Big Bang — Большой взрыв
  • "Put that in perspective" — "Поместить это в контекст"

Советы для практики

Видео имеет среднюю скорость речи, что идеально для shadow speech. Сначала прослушай короткий отрезок (5-10 секунд), затем остановите и повторите его сразу, пытаясь подражать интонации и темпу. Фокус на словах с длинными слогами, например, "quadrillion" или "Canis Majoris" — это поможет улучшить произношение сложных терминов. Если что-то не получается, не расстраивайся: повторяй каждый отрезок 3-5 раз. Помни, что shadow speak — это эффективный способ научиться говорить английский естественно, как носители. А интересные факты о космосе сделают тренировку увлекательной! Учи английский по видео, и ты быстро увидишь прогресс.

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.
