3
Well, g'day there.
4
Oh, g'day mate.
5
I've got a pretty special field trip planned for today.
6
Why is it so special?
7
it's right in our backyard, the Australian Outback.
8
The Aussie Outback stretches across the central and northern parts of Australia, where the climate is really hot and dry.
9
The harsh environment makes it home to some weird, wacky and fascinating plants and animals.
10
Let's dive in and take a closer look.
11
When I think of Australia and animals, kangaroos are usually the first thing that comes to mind.
12
Kangaroos, or as us Aussies like to call them, roos, move about by hopping on their springed hind legs.
13
belong to a special group of mammals called marsupials.
14
Roos, like most marsupials, carry their young in a pouch.
15
How cool is that?
16
Another marsupial you can find in the outback is the koala.
17
Koalas spend most of their time in eucalyptus trees.
18
We call them gum trees.
19
Their favourite food is eucalyptus leaves.
20
That's pretty much all they eat.
21
Eucalyptus leaves aren't very nutritious, which means koalas aren't too active and spend most of their time chilling out or sleeping.
22
But don't be fooled, not all animals in the outback are cute and cuddly.
23
The hot weather makes the outback home to a range of venomous snakes.
24
The most deadly of them all, the inland taipan.
25
These slippery sticks can grow to a length of two and a half metres.
26
Their venom is incredibly toxic.
27
A single bite from one of these guys has enough venom to kill 100 fully grown men.
28
Taipans also change colour throughout the year.
29
They tend to be darker in winter and lighter in summer.
30
This helps them to soak up more sunshine in the colder months.
31
Cool, hey?
32
Speaking of venomous animals, check out these guys.
33
The redback is one of Australia's most venomous spiders.
34
They're hard to miss as they have a distinct red stripe down their back.
35
White colours like this are nature's way of saying, back off, I'm dangerous.
36
Message received loud and clear.
37
Despite being only about 1cm in length, redbacks love to capture much larger animals in their web,
38
like lizards, other spiders and even snakes.
39
Once the redback traps its prey, it injects it with a deadly venom, immobilising and killing them in a matter of minutes.
40
Another classic scary looking outback animal is the thorny devil.
41
Don't be alarmed though, unlike the redback and taipan, the thorny devil is not venomous.
42
Its diet consists mostly of ants.
43
They eat about 3000 of them a day.
44
The spikes on the thorny devil aren't for attacking and are used for defending itself from birds and larger lizards.
45
And if it's feeling like the spikes aren't working, it also has a false head on the back of its neck to trick other predators.
46
What a cheeky devil. Can you hear that?
47
It sounds like someone laughing.
48
Oh, it's a kookaburra.
49
This Aussie bird is a type of kingfisher but eats mostly land animals such as mice,
50
snakes and insects.
51
Although their call sounds like a hysterical laugh, it's not because they just heard a funny joke.
52
Kookaburras sing to mark their territory.
53
It's their way of saying, hey, this is where I live.
54
But flying around in the outback is another bird, ten times the weight of a kookaburra.
55
It's the amazing wedge-tailed eagle.
56
This bird is mighty, having an average weight of 3.5 kilograms and growing to 120 centimetres in length.
57
It is Australia's largest bird of prey.
58
They eat pretty much anything they can get their talons on, and are known to eat introduced animals such as rabbits,
59
foxes and feral cats.
60
They also eat native mammals such as small kangaroos, possums and wombats.
61
The wedge-tailed eagle's powerful wings allow it to soar up to heights of 2000 metres.
62
They are also the only bird that has a reputation for attacking hang gliders, paragliders and even aerial drones.
63
While the wedge tail may be the largest bird in the sky, there's an even larger one that lives on the ground.
64
Check out this fella.
65
This strange looking creature is the emu.
66
Emus are very similar to ostriches.
67
They can't fly, but they can run very fast, reaching speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.
68
You want to know why they can run so fast?
69
It's because they are the only birds that have calf muscles.
70
You can also sometimes hear them from up to 2 kilometers away,
71
kilometers away, as they have a deep and powerful voice that is used during mating season.
72
Like wedge-tailed eagles, emus eat pretty much whatever they can find.
73
This includes grasses, seeds, flowers and insects such as grasshoppers, crickets and beetles beetles.
74
Now get ready for the biggest and baddest creature of them all.
75
The saltwater crocodile, or as I like to call them, salties.
76
These beasts can grow up to 6 metres in length, and can be as heavy as 1 tonne.
77
Salty's are an ancient animal and have been round for millions of years.
78
They've survived this long due to their strong bite, fast swimming ability and their aggressive behaviour.
79
They are also one of Australia's best hunters as they move silently and quickly through the water.
80
But when they attack, you better be ready.
81
The Salty's grab their prey in seconds, dragging them underwater, flipping them in circles, doing the almighty death roll.
82
Australia has some of the most fascinating animals, and we didn't even get to mention them all.
83
I really enjoyed this trip to the Australian outback.
84
How will I find you for the next field trip?
85
You can just give me the old cooey call.
86
Thank you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
