Section 2.
2
You will hear a woman called Alice Bussell talking on the radio about the Dolphin Conservation Trust,
3
an organization which tries to protect dolphins.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Thank you.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
7
Today we're pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust.
8
Tell us about the Trust, Alice.
9
Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world.
10
It tries to raise people's awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats.
11
It started 10 years ago and it's one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country,
12
although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection.
13
We're particularly proud of the work we do in education.
14
Last year we visited a huge number of schools in different
15
parts of the country going round to talk to children and young people aged from 5 to 18.
16
In fact about 35 percent of our members are children.
17
The charity uses its money to support campaigns for example for changes in fishing policy and so forth.
18
It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.
19
Of course many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things.
20
I should also tell you about the award we won from the charity commission last year for our work in education.
21
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood.
22
In the long term it may not bring in extra members, but we're hoping it'll have this effect.
23
Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?
24
Yes, in several locations.
25
And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.
26
This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.
27
However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.
28
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.
29
It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.
30
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.
31
I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.
32
Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins
33
who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth because of the oil companies, and about a child who campaigned to save them.
34
I couldn't put the book down.
35
I was hooked.
36
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
37
Thank you.
38
I'm sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help.
39
You mentioned the Adopt a Dolphin scheme.
40
Can you tell us about that? Of course.
41
People can choose one of our dolphins to sponsor.
42
They receive a picture of it and news updates.
43
I'd like to tell you about four which are currently being adopted by our members.
44
Moondancer, Echo, Kiwi and Samson.
45
Unfortunately, Echo is being rather elusive this year and hasn't yet been sighted by our observers, but we remain optimistic that he'll be out there soon.
46
All the others have been out in force.
47
Samson and Moondancer are often photographed together, but it's Kiwi who's our real character, as she seems to love coming up close for the cameras.
48
And we've captured her on film hundreds of times.
49
They all have their own personalities.
50
Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly.
51
Whereas Samson has a lot of energy.
52
He's always leaping out of the water with great vigour.
53
You'd probably expect him to be the youngest.
54
He's not quite.
55
That's Kiwi.
56
but Samson's the latest of our dolphins to be chosen for the scheme.
57
Kiwi makes a lot of noise, so we can often pick her out straight away.
58
Echo and Moondancer are noisy too, but Moondancer's easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back, which makes her easy to identify.
59
So, yes, they're all very different.
60
Well, they sound a fascinating group.
61
And how would you go back...
62
That is the end of section two.
63
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
64
Now turn to section 3.

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.
