track 11 reading 6a cities beneath the sea for uncounted generations trillions upon trillions of coral polyps have lived
2
and died leaving behind a material called limestone prized throughout history
3
limestone was used to construct the great pyramids of egypt as well as many churches
4
and castles yet the greatest limestone structures in the world are
5
built underwater by the coral polyps themselves we call them reefs
6
they can be even larger in scale than the most impressive buildings
7
and structures made by humans a variety of life indeed a living coral reef is remarkable
8
a city beneath the sea filled with a rich variety of life most coral reefs can be found in warm shallow oceans.
9
They occupy just a small part of the ocean floor, but host 25 % of all ocean life.
10
Coral reefs display nature's most brilliant colours.
11
Each reef is full of colourful fish, as well as coral that form wonderful patterns.
12
In addition to their beauty, the reefs are an important food source for fish and for humans. In fact,
13
reef fish make up a significant percentage of the global fish
14
catch threats to coral reefs various human activities can cause great
15
harm to the world's coral reefs for example reefs can be damaged
16
when the coral is taken for use in building materials jewelry making
17
or to fill aquariums illegal fishing methods like blast
18
and cyanide fishing also harm the reefs these methods can help fishermen get a good catch
19
but their negative effects on the reefs are significant.
20
Blast fishing involves setting off bombs in the water to kill as many fish as possible.
21
This kills most living things nearby and causes damage to the reef's structure.
22
In cyanide fishing, fishermen release liquid cyanide, a very dangerous and deadly chemical, into the reef.
23
As a result, the fish become stunned, which makes them easy to collect.
24
Meanwhile, the reef is damaged by the cyanide, which kills large numbers of coral polyps.
25
The reef is also damaged by the fishermen who break it apart looking for the stunned fish.
26
Another threat is water pollution.
27
When floods in Australia covered the Great Barrier Reef with dirty freshwater, the quality of the water changed and chemicals killed the reef life.
28
This is happening to many reefs around the world.
29
In addition, global warming has caused many reefs to become sick.
30
Warmer temperatures have turned them white, in a process known as coral bleaching.
31
A 2018 UN report predicted that up to 99 % of the world's coral reefs may decline if global warming continues.
32
Reasons for hope These threats to coral reefs are very serious, but there is reason to hope that they will survive.
33
If we take steps toward coral reef conservation, it is likely that these tiny creatures, which survived natural threats for millions of years,
34
will be able to rebuild.
35
As conservationist Robert Richman says, given a chance, they can come back.

Shadow Speak练习指南:如何跟练这个视频

想要通过这个视频练好"shadow speak"?跟着这三步走:

第一步:先听大意。完整看一遍视频,不用暂停,专注理解珊瑚礁的形成、作用和威胁。这一步能帮你熟悉内容,降低后续跟练难度,特别适合"看视频学英语"的新手。

第二步:逐句影子跟读。把视频分成10-15秒的片段,播放一句就暂停,立刻重复。注意模仿语调,比如说到"珊瑚白化"时的严肃感,或者"还有希望"时的轻微上扬。这个方法就是"shadowing"的核心,坚持练能快速提升口语流畅度,对"雅思口语练习"也很有帮助。

第三步:复述关键信息。关掉视频,用自己的话讲出珊瑚礁的重要性和面临的威胁。如果卡壳,就再看一遍对应的片段。这一步能检验你是否真正掌握了内容,也能锻炼组织语言的能力。

记住,"shadowing site"上的资源很多,但关键是选对材料并坚持。这个关于珊瑚礁的视频既有干货又有故事性,是练习"shadowspeak"的好选择。每天花15分钟,一周就能明显感受到进步!

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。
