1
Right, everyone, settle down, please.
2
Oliver's presenting his science project today.
3
Um... morning, everyone.
4
So, my question today is, why is the sky blue?
5
First, sunlight looks white, doesn't it?
6
But actually, it's a mix of all the colours,
7
like a rainbow, from red to violet.
8
Oh, like light through a prism?
9
Yes, exactly! Brilliant.
10
Now, when sunlight comes into our air,
11
it hits tiny gas particles, much smaller than dust.
12
Blue light has short waves,
13
so it bounces around much more than red light.
14
It's called Rayleigh scattering, and it fills the sky with blue!
15
Okay, let me show you a quick experiment!
16
This is just water with a little milk in it.
17
Could someone turn off the lights, please?
18
Look! From the side, the water looks a bit blue.
19
No way! It really does look blue!
20
Hang on, I've got a question.
21
If blue scatters more, why are sunsets red, then?
22
Oh... um, good question.
23
Wait, look at the torch through the end of the glass!
24
Whoa, the light looks orange now!
25
At sunset, light travels through much more air,
26
so most of the blue gets scattered away.
27
Only the red and orange light reaches our eyes!
28
Oh, and violet scatters even more than blue,
29
but our eyes are much better at seeing blue.
30
So, that's why the sky is blue, not purple!
31
Well done, Oliver! That was excellent.
32
You started a bit quietly, though.
33
Next time, speak up from the very beginning.
34
I will. Thanks, miss!

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。
