We can turn off lamps, computers, and other machines when we are not using them.
62
We can have a shower, not a bath.

These power stations don't make pollution.

Solar panels don't make pollution.
68
Batteries Some machines get electricity from batteries.

We put batteries into lots of machines to make them work.
70
Calculators, cameras, cell phones, and watches get electricity from batteries.
71
We can take these machines with us when we move.

How can you be safe with electricity?

89
Electricity helps us to do many things every day and every night.
90
Electricity is amazing.
91
Cell Phone Etiquette The first point I'd like to address is when not to use your phone.
92
It's polite to switch off your phone or turn off the sound when you're in class or in a meeting.
93
If you get an important call, you should ask for permission to leave the room, and then don't talk for too long.
94
Furthermore, for conversations that need more time, it is best to ask the person to call back at a more convenient time.
95
Cell phones can also cause you to neglect the people you are with.
96
I find it really annoying when my friends constantly check their messages on their phone.
97
In fact, I want to tell them to turn off the cell phone and enjoy my company.
98
Another point that needs to be made has to do with personal space.
99
I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or crowded rooms.
100
This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal conversations conversations.
101
Additionally, it disturbs other face-to-face conversations.
102
That's why I never use my cell phone within a few meters of other people, except in emergencies.
103
Lastly, I would like readers to pay attention to the dangers of using your phone while doing something else.
104
For instance, driving and texting is a bad combination.
105
Likewise, using your phone or texting when walking can make you careless.
106
You don't want to get hit by a car.
107
Pay attention to where you're going.

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.
