Every day we use and see objects made from various materials like metal, wood, glass, plastic, fabric and rubber.

2
It's important to know what these materials can do, especially if you're making something.
瞭解這些材料的效能非常重要，尤其是在你製作物品的時候。
3
You need to pick the right material so that your object works the way it should and is safe to use.
4
One key thing to understand is how a material interacts with light.
5
This is called transparency.
6
Some materials let lots of light through, some let only a little through, and some don't let any through at all.
7
Take a look at this glass bowl.
8
You can see right through it.
9
That's because glass is a transparent material.
10
It lets almost all the light pass through, which is why you can see the salad inside the bowl so clearly.
11
Now, see those plastic bags holding apples?
12
You can kind of see inside, but not perfectly.
13
The bags are translucent, meaning they let some light through, but not all.
14
And lastly, look at the metal mixing bowl.
15
You can't see inside it at all, can you?
16
That's because it's an opaque material.
17
Opaque materials don't let any light through.
18
Understanding transparency can help you know why some objects work better than others for certain jobs.
19
So next time you pick something up, think about what it's made of and how that affects what it can do.

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。
