1
Did you think that BMX racing was just for men?
2
Think again.
3
Meet the new BMXs.
4
It was a dark, rainy, winter's day at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester and I was taking photographs of the girls' BMX team.
5
They were riding around the track with apparently no fear.
6
They all obviously had a real passion for the sport.
7
Olivia, aged 15, has long, brown hair.
8
She's smart and confident, and the way she was smiling showed how much she loved it.
9
How did she first become interested in BMX?
10
She was watching her older brother race.
11
Although all the racers were boys, she knew instantly it was the sport for her.
12
It's not harder for girls to get into the sport, she said.
13
Anyone can do it.
14
BMX gives you knowledge.
15
When you come to the track, you learn something new every day.
16
So what is a BMX?
17
A BMX is a bike with small wheels and a low seat.
18
Small wheels actually go faster than big wheels at speeds of up to 20 km per hour.
19
Normal bikes have at least 20 gears.
20
These mean that a bike can travel quickly without the rider using their legs too much.
21
But there are no gears on a BMX, so the rider has to pedal a lot to go fast.
22
She laughed because some of the riders were moving their legs so quickly.
23
Some BMXers love doing jumps and crazy stunts, this is called freestyle.
24
Other riders prefer racing.
25
BMX races are fast but short.
26
They usually only last for about 40 seconds.
27
Both riding styles have something in common, riders fall off their bikes a lot.
28
That's why they all wear a helmet, as well as knee and elbow guards under their racing clothes.
29
Many people think that BMX is scary or dangerous, but fear isn't a thought that goes through this BMX team's minds.
30
They see BMX as a fun sport, a way of life, and a good social activity.
31
They don't see the difference between male and female, not while they are out on the track doing what they enjoy the most.

Об этом уроке

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.
