1
4. A.
2
I've found the Titanic.
3
A. As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks.
4
He read a lot about the Titanic.
5
My lifelong dream was to find this great ship, he says.
6
B. On August 31st, 1985, Ballard's dream came true.
7
He found the wreck of the Titanic.
8
The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers under the sea.
9
Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship.
10
He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic's end.
11
For example, he found a child's shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912.
12
C. In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again.
13
This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine.
14
A deep-sea robot took photos inside the ship.
15
When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship too.
16
D. When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition.
17
Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items like clothes, dishes and shoes.
18
Some even took pieces of the ship.
19
They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn't agree.
20
E. Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is wrong.
21
Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck.
22
This way, people can see the great ship and remember what happened to it.
23
As long as she needs protection, says Ballard, the Titanic will always be part of my life.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
