ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: How do stem cells work in the body?

กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Whenever there is an injury or a challenge to an organ or tissue, a whole process of renewal takes place in the body to help restore optimal health.
2
Soon after the injury, the affected tissue releases specific compounds that travel through the blood to the bone marrow.
3
When the compounds released by the injured tissue reach the bone marrow,
4
these messengers tell the stem cells in the bone marrow to divide and create new stem cells, which are then released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream.
5
Slowly, the number of stem cells increases in the blood circulation.
6
At the same time, the affected the affected tissue releases another compound called stromal-derived factor 1, or SDF1, that attracts stem cells.
7
As stem cells circulate in the fine blood vessels of the affected tissue and sense the presence of this compound,
8
they stop in the blood flow and migrate into the tissue.
9
Inside the tissue, stem cells slowly migrate to the very site of injury where SDF1 is being secreted.
10
When they reach the site of the injury and come into contact with the damaged tissue,
11
stem cells begin to multiply and then slowly transform into cells of that tissue.
12
Through this process of amplification, one stem cell can become thousands of tissue cells.
13
It is through this natural process of renewal that the body maintains optimal health every day of our lives.
14
Stemregen is a natural product made of plant extracts
15
that have been documented to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow, thereby increasing the number of circulating stem cells.
16
More stem cells in circulation means that more stem cells are available to participate in the process of tissue repair.

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson

This C1 speaking lesson is built on the video “How do stem cells work in the body?”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: cell, stem, tissue, marrow, bone. This video has 16 sentences and 284 words to shadow. The speech runs for 2:02. The speaker talks at a steady 140 words per minute, a comfortable pace for shadowing. Only 73% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding.
