Take notes as you watch this short video and take the bin chicken quiz at the end.
2
Human activity has dramatically altered the landscape of our planet.
3
In our quest to create and expand our living spaces, we have transformed vast swathes of land to accommodate farms, roads and cities.
4
This relentless expansion has had a profound impact on the natural habitats of countless species.
5
While many animals once thrived in these natural environments, human development has either led to their demise or forced them to relocate to new,
6
often less hospitable, areas.
7
As forests are felled, wetlands drained and grasslands converted into urban sprawl, the displacement of wildlife has become an all-too-common consequence.
8
Originally inhabitants of wetlands, mangrove forests and grassy plains, these ibises have now become a common site in Australian cities,
9
especially notable in places like the Gold Coast.
10
The Gold Coast, a region on the east coast of Australia,
11
once epitomised natural splendour, stretching from the lush hinterlands through expansive wetlands and meandering rivers,
12
all the way to its pristine coastline.
13
This area was a haven for diverse ecosystems, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna.
14
It's still renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty,
15
attracting nature enthusiasts for hiking, camping and wildlife spotting.
16
The region's beaches and waterways are a paradise for surfers and boaters, drawing crowds from across the globe.
17
However, the face of the Gold Coast has dramatically transformed with urbanisation.
18
What was once a tapestry of natural habitats has partially given way to urban development.
19
The region now boasts a skyline of skyscrapers that line the coast, embodying the rapid growth and urban expansion that has occurred.
20
Amidst this development, the natural landscape has been significantly altered, impacting the native wildlife.
21
But the rapid urbanisation of the Gold Coast has not deterred the resilient white ibis.
22
Instead, they have thrived, seamlessly integrating into the cityscape.
23
Due to their scavenging nature, the majestic white ibis has been labelled by locals as the bin chicken.
24
Now amidst the high-rises and bustling streets, the bin chickens are a common sight.
25
They navigate the urban terrain with ease, scavenging food from waste bins and adapting their behaviours to suit the new environment.
26
While they might seem out of place against the backdrop of skyscrapers and concrete, these birds have become an unexpected part of the urban ecosystem,
27
exemplifying the adaptability and resilience of nature in the face of human expansion and environmental change.
28
However, the presence of the white ibis in urban areas is not without issues.
29
These birds, while a success story in terms of adaptation, can also be a nuisance.
30
They are often seen rummaging through garbage, which can lead to the spread of litter and potential health hazards.
31
Moreover, their boldness in scavenging food can lead to conflicts with humans, especially in areas with outdoor dining.
32
The story of the Australian white ibis is a powerful illustration of how some species can adapt
33
and flourish in the face of human-induced changes to their environment.
34
While their presence in urban areas is not without challenges, it serves as a reminder of the resilience of nature
35
and the unexpected ways in which wildlife can interact with the urban landscapes we create.
36
OK, it's time for a quick quiz.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
