Hello.
2
I'm reading a book about the eight planets that go round our Sun.
3
It's a very interesting book.
4
Today, we are thinking about one of the planets in my book.
5
It's the one we all live on.
6
Do you know its name?
7
That's right, it's called Earth.
8
Let's find out about our planet and how we can look after it.
9
This is planet Earth.
10
It's got mountains and forests,
11
rivers and lakes, plants and animals.
12
But how can we live on Earth?
13
It's because of the air.
14
There is oxygen in the air we breathe, and other gases too.
15
Plants and animals need oxygen to live.
16
Plants and animals need water too.
17
There is lots of water on Earth.
18
Our planet needs clean air and clean water.
19
What can you do to look after the Earth?
20
Well, there are lots of things you can do.
21
You can pick up rubbish and recycle paper, glass and plastic.
22
Plastic is very bad for animals that live in the sea.
23
We need to keep the sea clean.
24
When you go shopping, don't use new plastic bags.
25
At home, you can turn off the tap when you clean your teeth.
26
Or save water by having a shower, not a bath.
27
Or turn off the lights when you go out.
28
Or grow plants.
29
We can all look after our planet.
30
Okay, I've got two questions for you.
31
What is the name of the gas in the air that animals and plants need?
32
That's right, it's called oxygen.
33
What three things can we recycle?
34
That's right.
35
Paper, glass and plastic.
36
Okay.
37
I'm going to go have my bath now.
38
No. A shower.
39
I need to save water to help look after our planet.
40
See you next time!
41
Bye!
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过这段视频，你将能够了解我们居住的地球及其重要性，并学习如何保护我们的星球。这不仅是一个介绍环境保护的教育视频，也是一个极佳的口语练习材料。通过跟随视频的节奏进行“影子练习”(shadow speech)，可以提高你的英语发音并增强口语流利度。学习有关自然界的词汇和表达方式，还能够提升你的英语水平，特别是对于那些准备雅思口语考试的学生来说，练习的主题恰好与生活息息相关，能够有效帮助他们在真实场景中应用所学。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在视频中，讲述者使用了一些关键的句子结构和表达方式，适合学习者分析和模仿：
- “There is…” - 使用这个结构可以帮助你描述存在的事物，例如“在地球上有水。”
- “What can you do to...?” - 这个提问方式很适合引导对话，让对方分享自己的看法或建议。
- “We need…” - 用于强调重要性，比如“我们需要保持海洋清洁。”
- “You can…” - 这个句型可以帮助你提供建议或建议性的行为，例如“你可以回收纸张和塑料。”
- “Let’s find out...” - 用来引入新的观点或主题，使对话更具互动性。
通过使用这些表达，你不仅能在说英语时变得更加自然，也能够在雅思口语练习中取得好的成绩。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，注意以下几个可能会让人困惑的发音：
- “recycle” - 许多学习者可能在这个词的重音地方发音不准确，确保重音在第二个音节上。
- “oxygen” - 这个词对于初学者很重要，通常会发成“ox-gen”，但应为“ock-si-jen”。
- “environment” - 它的发音带有轻微的重音模式，许多非母语者可能会混淆音节，特别是中间的“ron”部份。
在进行提高英语发音的练习时，使用影子发音(shadowspeak)可以帮助你纠正这些常见的发音错误，提高你的说话能力。在“影子练习”时，尝试跟着视频中的发音，模仿语调和节奏，会使得学习过程更加有效。
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。
