You will hear part of a lecture on rural development.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Good morning, everyone.
4
Now, you'll remember
5
that last week we looked at the migration of people from the interior of West Africa to various coastal towns, with special reference to Ghana.
6
Today we're going to focus on the people known as the Berbers, who live in North Africa.
7
The Berbers inhabited this part of Africa as long ago as the 7th century,
8
and their society was based on tribes which were scattered throughout a number of countries – Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Mali.
9
However, at some point in the 12th century, the area was invaded by Bedouin Arabs.
10
people destroyed the berber's peasant economy as a result many berbers
11
left their settlements to lead a nomadic life by wandering with their animals through the deserts
12
and across the different mountains over the centuries many berbers migrated to other countries like spain
13
and france to work as laborers taking with them their culture and traditions
14
and their descendants remain there until this day not all the
15
berbers led a fully nomadic life there were three different groups
16
some became farmers cultivating the lowlands in the winter
17
and grazing their flocks of animals in the mountains during the
18
summer they are called seasonal nomads some berbers who led a
19
completely nomadic life tended to move from one oasis to another a third group settled by the oases
20
and and grew fruit and vegetables like dates and eggplants, as well as making olive oil, which they used for cooking.
21
Traditionally, Berbers kept cattle, sheep and goats, together with oxen, mules and horses.
22
Now in the Sahel region of North Africa, that's the area south of the Sahara Desert, the region became and still is becoming increasingly dry and arid
23
so the berbers relied more and more on camels for transporting their families and their goods
24
how did these different groups of people survive in such harsh conditions where did they live well
25
berbers who stayed put in one place built single-story stone houses
26
for protection by quarrying the local rock whereas nomadic berbers carried their homes with them and erected temporary tents
27
settled berbers developed various small-scale industries such as pottery making and weaving
28
but these tasks were generally left to the berber women as
29
you might expect though the life of a settled community was
30
governed by the men who met regularly in the village square to discuss affairs
31
and make decisions now let's turn to the tuaregs who belong to a nomadic berber group
32
and move mainly in the central
33
and western sahara desert north of the river niger the word tuareg comes from the arabic tawarik
34
and means god forsaken desert tuareg carried tents made of strips
35
of goat skins sewn together as many as 40 skins were needed to make a complete tent
36
if the skins weren't available they wove mats made of grass
37
or palm leaves and hung them over a frame so
38
that the tent looked like a humped dome tuareg society was traditionally very feudal
39
and organized as a strict hierarchy ranging from nobles or aristocrats downwards to laborers whose ancestors had once been slaves.
40
Tuaregs were famous for their warlike qualities and fierce independence.
41
In fact, one of the greatest insults was to suggest to a Tuareg that his father had died in his bed, and not while fighting.
42
Tuareg men were sometimes called blue men, as all adult males wore a dark blue veil in the presence of women, strangers, and in-laws.
43
Legend had that a Tuareg man couldn't be recognised unless he was wearing this veil.
44
But this custom of the veil began to disappear as more and more Tuaregs became urbanised and moved to the towns.
45
I mentioned earlier how dry the Sahel region has become and there have been very severe droughts over the past 30 years.
46
This has meant that the number of Tuaregs living in the area has declined.
47
those whose animals were fortunate enough to survive have moved away
48
from the southern sahara into burkina faso in order to find new grazing lands for their herds
49
if there's one city which people associate with the sahara desert it's probably timbuktu
50
but what most people don't know is
51
that timbuktu was founded by tuareg nomads almost a thousand years
52
ago the city became the focal point of the trans-Saharan caravan routes.
53
North African merchants flocked there to do business, and trading in gold and salt flourished.
54
For many years, Timbuktu was considered inaccessible.
55
But today, what is left of the city attracts a small number of tourists.
56
The tourism department of the Mali government employs some Tuaregs who act as guides.
57
Essential, really when you realize
58
that it's only the tuaregs who can find their way around
59
the desert using the sand dunes as landmarks right i'll take
60
questions now before i go on to discuss tamashek the language spoken by the tuaregs which also has an alphabet called Thank
61
you.
62
Thank you.
63
Thank you.
64
Thank you.
65
Thank you.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор на основе этого видео?

Практика разговорного английского через видео – это не только увлекательный, но и эффективный способ улучшения ваших языковых навыков. В данном видео обсуждаются берберы, их культура и образ жизни, что предоставляет контекст для использования разнообразной лексики. Погружаясь в тему, вы учите английский с YouTube, слушая реальную лекцию и взаимодействуя с языком, как это делают носители. Это поможет развивать навыки восприятия на слух и произношения, а также расширит ваш словарный запас.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В лекции используются несколько ключевых грамматических структур, которые особенно полезны при изучении английского:

  • Simple Past Tense: Глаголы в прошедшем времени, такие как "inhibited", "migrated", помогают описывать события, произошедшие в прошлом.
  • Present Perfect: Использование форм, как "have moved", позволяет говорить о воздействии прошлого на настоящее и отлично показывает, как берберы адаптировались к изменениям.
  • Passive Voice: Структура "were destroyed" демонстрирует, как можно акцентировать внимание на действии, а не на том, кто его совершил, что важно в формальных текстах.
  • Causal Constructions: Фразы вроде "as a result" помогают связывать причины и следствия, что делает речь более логичной.

Общие ловушки произношения

Во время просмотра видеолекции вы можете столкнуться с несколькими трудными произношениями:

  • Berber: Обратите внимание на ударение и произношение этого слова, так как оно может быть сложным для русскоязычных.
  • Tuareg: Звуки, характерные для английского языка, могут вызывать трудности, если вы не привыкли к ним.
  • Arid: Правильное произношение и интонация этих слов поможет звучать более естественно.

Использование методов, таких как shadowspeak или shadow speech, поможет вам улучшить навыки произношения, когда вы будете повторять за диктором. Это отличный способ избавиться от акцента и сделать вашу речь более плавной.

Итак, практикуя английский, вы не только учите язык, но и погружаетесь в культуру, что делает обучение более увлекательным и запоминающимся!

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.
