2
It's an amazing sight.
3
But have you ever wondered what it's like to build a high-rise in one of the most crowded places in the world?

Let's find out from the people working on One Bryant Park.
5
There are several factors that make this work challenging, especially on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue.

8

9
After the foundation was finished, workers could begin bringing in building materials.
10
Thousands of kilograms are received at the site each day.
11
There is very little room here in the middle of Manhattan, so there is only one option for getting the materials to the workers.

13
About 200 meters above ground, the workers are hard at work.

16

21
Trucks start coming in at 5 a.m.
22
And as the day continues, the traffic only gets worse.
23
After the beams arrive, the men work quickly.
24
With a building this size, everything is big.
25
And that always presents a challenge.
26
This is one of five water tanks that will hold the total of 260,000 liters of water.
27
Its size makes it difficult to place.
28
But if you think this looks hard, the greatest challenge is yet to come, the spire.
29
It's so large that it comes in 70 separate pieces.
30
Going into New York City, you basically lose two days.
31
It is true what they say, this is a city that never sleeps and there's always traffic out there to deal with.
32
It gets a little hairy at times, you know, but you have an escort behind you and he kind of blocks it off a little bit.
33
Even though New York is a really big city, the streets aren't the biggest.
34
Each piece must be lifted and put together nearly 300 meters above ground.
35

36
making it one of New York's tallest buildings.

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。
