Part 4 You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve, known as translocation.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Thank you.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves.
6
this is known as translocation and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years the reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas
7
overpopulation is a good problem to have and not one we tend to hear about very often in Malawi's Majeti National Park,
8
the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers who killed the elephants for their ivory.
9
But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.
10
Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.
11
In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
12
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.
13
This led to a number of problems.
14
Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.
15
as there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park some
16
elephants began looking further afield elephants were routinely knocking down fences around
17
the park which then had to be repaired at a significant cost to solve this
18
problem the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Incotta Kota Wildlife Park where there were no elephants.
19
But obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home 300 kilometres away is quite a challenge.
20
So how did this translocation process work in practice?
21
Elephants were moved in groups of between 8 and 20, all belonging to one family.
22
Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.
23
A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters and targeted a group, which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.
24
The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.
25
This was a tricky manoeuvre, as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquiliser for different sized elephants, but they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.
26
This also had to be done as quickly as possible so as to minimize the stress caused.
27
As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.
28
To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants were lying on their chests because their lungs could be crushed in this position.
29
So, all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.
30
One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.
31
It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.
32
If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.
33
Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.
34
Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.
35
Elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers and also of their feet.
36
The elephants were then taken to a recovery area before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home
37
the elephants translocated to enkota kota settled in very well and the project has generally
38
been accepted to have been a huge success and not just for
39
the elephants employment prospects have improved enormously contributing to rising living
40
standards for the whole community poaching is no longer an issue as former poachers are able
41
to find more reliable sources of income in fact many of them volunteered to give up their
42
weapons as they were no longer of any use to them more than two dozen
43
elephants have been born at enkotakota since relocation with an area of more than 1800 square kilometers there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow
44
their presence is also helping to rebalance in kotakota's damaged ecosystem and providing
45
a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks all this has
46
been a big draw for tourism which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife
47
trade to GDP and this is mainly because of the elephants there's also been a dramatic rise in interest from
48
that is the end of part four you now have one minute to check your answers to part four Thank you.
49
That is the end of the listening test.
50
In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.

В этом уроке вы будете практиковать восприятие на слух и произношение с помощью презентации студента зоологии о перемещении диких слонов в новый заповедник, в процессе известном как трансселекции. Вы научитесь как точно отвечать на вопросы, основанные на информации, услышанной в аудиофайле, а также улучшите свою словарную базу и навыки разговорного английского.

Ключевая лексика и фразы

  • Трансселекция - процесс перемещения животных в новый заповедник.
  • Популяция - количество индивидов одного вида, обитающих в определенной области.
  • Восстановление - процесс восстановления численности популяции после ее сокращения.
  • Охрана - защита животных и их среды обитания от уничтожения.
  • Ивори - материaл, изготавливаемый из бивней слонов, который часто становится целью браконьеров.
  • Экосистема - общество живых организмов и их окружение, действующее как единое целое.
  • Туризм - рынок, который может значительно поддерживать экономику региона.

Советы по практике

Для улучшения вашего произношения английского и навыков разговорного общения, попробуйте shadowspeak с этим видео. Слушайте аудиофайл внимательно, акцентируя внимание на интонации и скорости речи. Студент говорит довольно быстро, поэтому важно повторять за ним, подстраиваясь под его ритм. Вы можете использовать технику shadow speak, чтобы параллельно воспроизводить за ним фразы, что поможет вам запомнить их структуру и улучшить произношение английского.

Также не забывайте делать паузы после каждой фразы и тренироваться на протяжении нескольких прослушиваний. Повторяйте ключевые слова и фразы, такие как "трансселекция" и "популяция", чтобы привычно их произносить в разговоре. Учить английский с YouTube предоставляет отличные возможности для практики, поэтому используйте это видео как инструмент для улучшения.

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.
