1
The life of a frog is a simple understanding.
2
They eat, play, sleep and give us lots of serotonin and that is that.
3
But did you know there's another creature out there that exists in this simple world full of simple things?
4
Have a look around and try and spot something much different here.
5
If it looks large and in charge, you my friend have found a tod.
6
These are toads and they appear to be much more handsome up, I mean much bigger than your average frog.
7
Apart from the neat spelling that toads have compared to toads, toads have a much different purpose in life compared to other amphibians.
8
So if they have a purpose, what do they do then?
9
Well, just like frogs, they also don't do much.
10
Until the sun goes down.
11
of frogs, toads are much more active at night
12
and they will do everything a frog would do
13
but in the dark and to understand that we have to look at what is happening on the inside.
14
What's fascinating is that toads aren't that full of serotonin like frogs on the other hand are.
15
In fact, toads are only 25% full of serotonin and that's
16
because they have an actual concept of what life is all about, which means they can get a little sad sometimes.
17
But on the other hand, toads have a much larger appetite because 50% of them is focused on the guts and the butts.
18
Unlike frogs, toads have a much sharper eye for their food
19
and go for whatever their palate feels like they are not
20
afraid to go for the weakest to the most spiciest of foods
21
in fact they can eat half of their body weight during one sitting
22
which means that frogs are always at a risk but this tod chose not to
23
now you're wondering what possibly could be the last 25 percent of a tod
24
You might be surprised because they use the last 25% to look good.
25
Why do they need to look good?
26
Well, that's for a number of reasons.
27
Tods are very sociable amphibians, just like frogs are, but very complex at the same time.
28
Since their numbers are much smaller than frogs, this means their groups are much more niche, which means things can get complicated very easily.
29
This could be from finding a mate to finding a good proof.
30
But in this case, it's because there's a tasty snack sitting right in the middle.
31
So, how do TODS challenge each other in an event like this?
32
Well...
33
They do croaking contests!
34
A TODS croak can send vibrations through the ground or through the speakers as you're watching this.
35
They use their cloaks to make their presence known, and the Todd with the loudest croak tends to be the leader of that group.
36
At midnight on the full moon, Tods will perform a ritual called the Croaking, which requires all Tods in the area to croak at the moon.
37
This is so they know where each and every one of them is at.
38
But this moment can also be beautiful.
39
You'll notice that the environment which the tods live on is very marshy and muddy.
40
Tods use the mud for all sorts of reasons but this extra muddy area is mainly used for nesting
41
And this is where things can get a little dirty.
42
Tods will bury their eggs in the ground for incubation, and by the time they hatch, small tods will emerge from the ground.
43
Unlike frogs which go for a metamorphosis process, baby tods are just smaller tods and will eventually go to their adult size
44
and make their way to more stable grounds to start their new life.
45
When the sun starts to rise is when the tods call it a night.
46
All tods during this time find a cool dirty spot they want to rest in, and once they've found it, submerge themselves into that spot.
47
Whether it would be mud, water, sticks or leaves, there's always a good place to sleep,
48
ready for the next day ahead and dreaming of the next snack they will encounter.
49
But on a rare occasion, this Todd likes to stay up and explore the world during the day
50
so that they can see and explore places they wouldn't able to at night.
51
And I think this Todd and this Frog are going to get along well.
52
you

Советы по практике

При просмотре видео "Жизнь жабы" обратите внимание на скорость речи. Для начинающих важно слушать и повторять каждую фразу, акцентируя внимание на интонации и ритме. Используйте технику шадоуинга, чтобы улучшить ваше произношение. Shadowing или shadowspeak подразумевает синхронное воспроизведение речи вместе с носителем языка. Попробуйте следовать за речью, даже если скорость высокая, это поможет вам лучше чувствовать английский язык. Если в какой-то момент вам будет сложно, не стесняйтесь ставить видео на паузу и повторять фразы по несколько раз. Это сделает ваш шадоу спич более естественным и улучшит ваше понимание.

Используйте shadow speech в сочетании с пониманием содержания. Изучите ключевые слова и фразы из трансскрипта, чтобы использовать их в повседневной речи. Практикуйте их в различных контекстах, чтобы развить уверенность в разговорной практике. Задействуйте shadowspeaks в вашем изучении, чтобы расширить свой словарный запас и углубить понимание темы.

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.
