Welcome to Spotlight. I’m Liz Waid.
2
And I’m Colin Lowther.
3
Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting.
4
It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
5
Have you ever had a problem?
6
You are a person, so of course you have!
7
Maybe your motorbike would not start.
8
Maybe you needed to fix a toilet.
9
Maybe you did not know how to download something to your smartphone.
10
All people have problems.
11
But what was the first thing you did to solve your problem?
12
If you can connect to the Internet, one of the first things you probably did was search there for an answer.
13
There, you can find information and videos to help you with almost any problem.
14
These how-to videos are very popular.
15
That is because more and more people are interested in doing things themselves.
16
More people are becoming interested in growing, making, and fixing things.
17
This growing interest is known as the maker movement.
18
Today’s Spotlight is on the maker movement.
19
The maker movement includes a lot of different people and ideas.
20
It includes people working independently to invent, create or design.
21
Makers are people who design and create their own clothes or grow their own food.
22
Many makers look at things in the world and say, “I could make that.” Or they may say, “I think I could make that better.” Or they dream of something they wish existed.
23
And when they do not find it, they try to create it.
24
People have always made things.
25
Ancient people made baskets, bowls, and tools.
26
One generation of people taught the next.
27
Parents taught children.
28
This was how people shared knowledge, experience, and wisdom with each other.
29
But things started to change.
30
Machines made it easier to grow food.
31
So, fewer people needed to work on farms.
32
So they moved to cities.
33
They found work in factories.
34
But then factories started to use machines.
35
It started to cost less money to buy a new thing than to fix an old one.
36
People began to forget how to grow food, create things, or fix things when they broke.
37
And many people are tired of this.
38
They do not want to throw things away.
39
They want to be able to fix things that break.
40
They want to grow their own food.
41
They do not want to depend on factories or stores.
42
They want to use knowledge and skills instead of spending money.
43
In this way, the maker movement is a kind of return to the way things used to be.
44
The maker movement includes traditional work like weaving cloth, making things out of wood, and growing your own food.
45
But it also accepts and uses new technologies.
46
Computers are now much less frightening to people than they used to be.
47
More people understand how they work.
48
Children learn to write code for computers in school.
49
The Internet provides training and a way to connect to other makers.
50
People in the maker movement come together to make things.
51
Maker Faires are gatherings of these people.
52
They spend a few days together talking, planning, inventing, and solving problems.
53
These Faires began in the United States, but have spread to every continent.
54
For example, in 2016 there was a Maker Faire in Shenzhen, China.
55
At the Faire people taught wooden knife making, drawing, and how to build a robot out of LEGO building bricks.
56
There was even a clothes fashion show.
57
Much of the clothing was wearable technology.
58
It had built-in computers, lights, or body sensors.
59
Another kind of gathering of makers is called a Repair Café.
60
People bring their broken things to the Repair Café.
61
The Café has tools and supplies to fix things.
62
There are also experts who offer to teach people how to fix what they have brought in.
63
But whenever possible, the people must do the work themselves.
64
Repair Cafés began in Amsterdam, but have also spread around the world.
65
There are Repair Cafés in Egypt, Kenya, Ghana, Thailand, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Azerbaijan, China and many other countries.
66
And the maker movement is still growing.
67
It is even starting to change education.
68
Some schools are creating “maker spaces.” In these places, children can invent, combine, and discover.
69
Jim Tiffin is a teacher in New York, in the US.
70
His students do not just sit and listen to him talk.
71
In the maker-space, they do things.
72
He told the Scholastic website, "It has had the most empowering effect on students of any of the courses that I have taught.
73
Students are taking the experiences from this class and using them in their other classes." Experts say that any school can be a maker space like this.
74
They do not need high cost equipment or supplies.
75
They can use paper, broken toys, string, clay or tape.
76
Any materials will work. Students just have to make things!
77
But schools are not the only places interested in the maker movement.
78
Some big businesses also try to use the maker movement to sell more products.
79
The clothing company Levis sells millions of pairs of blue jeans around the world.
80
Many people do not consider them to be part of the maker movement.
81
But Levis tries to find people who are making creative things.
82
Then they put these things on their website.
83
Big businesses like this tell the stories of these makers.
84
People like the stories and buy more clothing.
85
This way they try to seem like they are part of the maker movement even if they are making clothes in big factories.
86
Many people do not want to just use things and throw them in the garbage.
87
They want to use their hands. They want to learn.
88
They want to be independent and in control.
89
Tim Bajarin wrote about the maker movement for Time Magazine.
90
He wrote: “The more I look into it, the more I believe that the maker movement is very important to America’s future.
91
It may be able to turn more and more people into makers instead of just people who use things.
92
I know from history that when you give makers the right tools and good ideas, they can change the world.” Do you like to learn new things?

- Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; maker, cloth, invent gibi kelimelere özellikle dikkat edin.
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.
