1
You know, I think photos can help inspire all kinds of emotions.
2
You know, they can be beautiful.
3
They can also help inspire wonder in people.
4
So this is a photo of a tiny chameleon from the island of Madagascar.
5
Do we have anybody from Madagascar here today?
6
That would be really neat.
7
This is a chameleon that is a fully grown adult.
8
So it's really, really small and I put it on a human finger so you can see just how tiny it is.
9
Amazingly, it's not even the smallest species in Madagascar.
10
The smallest one can actually fit on the head of a match.
11
Photos can also make us care about species and places that are really far away from our homes.
12
Like this photo of a Sulawesi crested black macaque from Indonesia.
13
And I saw earlier that we had somebody from Indonesia on this webinar, So that's wonderful to see.
14
Photos can also make us aware of environmental issues, like the overfishing of sharks and other big fish that are found in our oceans.
15
And this is an issue that's happening worldwide.
16
So it was really this understanding of the power of photographs that inspired me to apply to National Geographic
17
for a Young Explorers Grant to go to the country of Peru to photograph conservation efforts in the Amazon rainforest.
18
I actually, I just got a great question.
19
Do I get scared?
20
Yeah, sometimes I get a little nervous when I'm out in the forest, but it's absolutely worth it every time.
21
But I really love being out there in the forest.
22
And in this case, I spent 10 months in the Amazon rainforest.
23
And I was photographing these conservation efforts from the high Andes Mountains,
24
seen here, all the way to the lowland Amazon rainforest.
25
To make photos like this one, I would have to get up at 4 o'clock a.m in the morning
26
and drag myself out of bed
27
and go into the dark forest in the middle of the night
28
and to climb a radio tower that was about 60 meters high
29
or 180 feet high so I could be above the canopy at dawn.
30
But I wanted to do those things to really show how beautiful these landscapes are and to make people care about them.
31
And Peru is full of adventures.
32
In this case, we had to trek for a couple of hours through the forest.
33
We crossed rivers 11 times, and then we camped in the forest for 10 days in Peru.
34
I was working with these park rangers who were monitoring wildlife, but we went out there so that we could really show some of the animals that were living in this forest.
35
I got to photograph some pretty cool critters like mustache monkeys in the Peruvian Amazon on,
36
scarlet macaws soaring above the canopy, and even some smaller creatures,
37
because I really love to not just show the big charismatic animals, but the more rare creatures, the ones that are overlooked.
38
So like monkey frogs, these really cute little frogs that are found in the understory and are a little bit camouflaged.
39
And I'm telling you about Peru because it was a really great learning experience for me.
40
Of course, it was an adventure, but more than that, it was a learning experience because I got to work with students.
41
As part of my project in Peru, I was able to give presentations and photo workshops to students in schools.
42
And these are some of those students out bird watching in one of the forests.
43
And as I shared my photos of wildlife with these students, like the mustache monkey or the scarlet macaw,
44
what I realized is that these students had almost never heard of these animals.
45
They actually knew more about elephants and giraffes
46
in faraway Africa than they did about the incredible animals that are found essentially in their backyards.
47
And that was a very important moment for me as a photographer,
48
because I really realized that we have to connect kids with nature in the places where they live.
49
Kids are not going to care about protecting wildlife if they don't even know that these species exist.

為何用這段影片練習英語口語？
這段影片以攝影故事為載體，包含大量描述自然景觀、動物特徵和個人經歷的表達，非常適合英語口語練習。其口語化的敘事風格貼近日常交流，能幫助學習者掌握如何生動講述故事、表達情感。通過shadow speech（影子跟讀）模仿 speaker 的語氣和節奏，不僅能提升流利度，還能學會用語言傳遞感染力，讓表達更具畫面感。
語境中的語法與表達
- “It was really this understanding... that inspired me...”：強調句型，用於突出關鍵資訊。練習時可替換內容，如“It was this photo that made me fall in love with nature”，增強表達的重點意識。
- “I would have to get up... and drag myself out of bed...”：“would have to”表達過去的必要性，結合“drag oneself out of bed”等生動短語，可用於描述過去的經歷或任務，讓口語更鮮活。
- “Kids are not going to care... if they don't even know...”：條件狀語從句，說明因果關係。模仿時可練習“People won't protect the environment if they don't realize its importance”，提升邏輯表達能力。
常見發音陷阱
影片中部分單詞發音需注意：chameleon（變色龍）的重音在第二個音節，易誤讀為“cha-ME-le-on”；macaque（獼猴）的“que”發/k/音，而非/kw/；canopy（樹冠層）的“o”發/ə/，不要讀成/ɒ/。shadowing site（跟讀練習平臺）上可反覆聽辨這些單詞，結合影子跟讀糾正發音。此外，speaker 講述經歷時的升調（如“Amazingly, it's not even the smallest species...”）傳遞驚訝感，模仿時需注意語調變化，讓口語更自然。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are found · are overlooked |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | was photographing · was working |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the smallest |
| 義務：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的 | have to get · had to trek · have to connect |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
