2
So you've got a few minutes to discuss with your partner.
3
So, as far as I know, the main similarity between Mars and Earth is that they can both support human life.
4
Yeah, but do we know that's actually true?
5
I mean, Mars is much colder than Earth, isn't it?
6
It says here it's about minus 55 degrees most of the time, whereas on Earth, only places like Antarctica get that cold.
7
True.
8
Well then, I suppose you could say both planets are a similar distance from the Sun.
9
No way!
10
Mars is much further away.
11
It says here it's about 228 million kilometers, while Earth is about 150 million.
12
Yes, but in space that's not that far.
13
Jupiter is like almost 780 million kilometers.
14
That's why we use astronomical units when we talk about distance in space.
15
Earth is one astronomical unit from the Sun and Mars is 1.3.
16
The difference doesn't sound so big when you look at it that way.
17
I see what you mean.
18
Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units, so I guess you're right.
19
What other similarities are there between the two planets?
20
Let's see.
21
Not the colour, obviously.
22
Yeah.
23
Earth is called the blue planet and Mars is called the red planet for pretty obvious reasons.
24
Their sizes are pretty different.
25
Mars is about half the size of Earth.
26
What about this?
27
It looks like the days on both planets are almost the same length.
28
Earth's day is 24 hours, but Mars' is about half an hour longer.
29
You're right.
30
Okay.
31
Any other things they both share?
32
Um, I suppose you could say they have water in common. Could you?
33
How?
34
Well, Earth is 70% water, and Mars probably had huge oceans in the past.
35
It's just that most of the water there now is probably frozen.
36
Ah, I see.
37
I don't think we can say the air is the same, though.
38
Most of Earth's air is nitrogen and oxygen. But Mars...
39
Mars doesn't really have air, not compared with Earth.
40
It's got about 1% as much air as Earth.
41
Right, and it's mostly carbon dioxide.
42
Gravity is another difference.
43
I didn't know this, but Mars has higher gravity than the Moon.
44
But it's much less than on Earth, of course.
45
Oh, yes.
46
It says Mars has about 38% of Earth's gravity.
47
Okay, let's see what you've found.

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "A student discussion" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

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.
