Unit 7.
2
Are the truth about dinosaurs?
3
Dinosaurs are fascinating, but half-truths and myths about them are common.
4
For years, scientists thought dinosaurs were just giant reptiles.
5
Some dinosaurs were huge.
6
But many were about the size of modern-day birds or dogs.
7
Were dinosaurs warm or cold-blooded?
8
Paleontologists are still not sure.
9
But they now believe a few dinosaurs were intelligent.
10
Some smaller ones, like the 2-metre Truadon, had fairly large brains.
11
A paleontologist is a scientist who studies plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
12
Was T-Rex a powerful predator?
13
B. While some scientists think Tyrannosaurus rex was a powerful predator, others think the opposite is true.
14
For example, in the movies, T-Rex is often a fast-moving giant.
15
In reality, though, this dinosaur could not run fast.
16
It was too large to move very quickly, so it probably moved about as fast as an elephant.
17
T-Rex also had very small arms and probably wasn't a powerful hunter.
18
It may have been a scavenger instead eating dead animals.
19
Could dinosaurs fly?
20
See, some reptiles known as pterosaurs were able to fly, but even though they looked like them, these were not dinosaurs.
21
Pterosaurs such as Tupukswara could probably fly up to 16,000 kilometres non-stop.
22
Scientists believed pterosaurs were actually very heavy, so they probably could not take off from the ground like birds.
23
Instead, they first had to drop or throw themselves from trees in order to fly, much like bats.
24
Are all dinosaurs extinct?
25
D-dinosaurs completely disappeared about 66 million years ago.
26
Scientists think they died out because of a global climate change.
27
The Earth's temperature became too cold for them to survive.
28
Now you can only see dinosaurs in museums.
29
However, scientists believe that modern-day birds are, in fact, dinosaurs' descendants.
30
If this is true, then dinosaurs' relatives are still walking and flying among us.

  1. Videonun tamamını konuşmadan bir kez dinleyin ve bilmediğiniz kelimeleri not edin.
  2. Normal hızda cümle cümle tekrar edin; ritminiz konuşmacıyla aynı olana kadar her cümleyi yineleyin.
  3. Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; dinosaur, scientist, paleontologist 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.
