1
Unit 6.
2
A in one cubic foot.
3
A in any environment, forest, mountain, water, you always see the big animals first.
4
Birds, mammals, fish.
5
But under your feet, both on land and in the water, there are many smaller organisms.
6
Insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures.
7
They may seem unimportant, but in fact these sea creatures and ground dwellers are the heart of life on Earth, according to naturalist E.O.
8
Wilson.
9
Without them, our world would be a very different place.
10
The cycle of life.
11
Busymost organisms on earth live on the ground or just below it.
12
Here, they are part of an important cycle.
13
When plants and animals die, they fall to the ground.
14
Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material.
15
This process eventually returns nutrients too to the soil and gives living plants energy.
16
These plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals.
17
Discoveries in a Cube C Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms.
18
To learn more, photographer David Leitschwager went to different places around the world, including a forest and a coral reef.
19
In each place, he put a green 30-centimetre cube on the ground or in the water.
20
Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube.
21
Often they discovered hundreds of organisms, some only a millimetre in size.
22
It was like finding little gems, he says.
23
Three gems are beautiful stones used in jewellery.
24
Coral Reef Moria, French Polynesia.
25
Here, Leedschwager photographed over 600 creatures in the cube.
26
The team identified as many as possible but it was difficult.
27
Many of the animals they found were new species.
28
Tropical Cloud Forest Monteverde, Costa Rica.
29
There are many different types of plants in this region.
30
Almost 125 species that live here are found nowhere else on Earth.
关于本课
在本课中，学习者将探讨“每立方英尺中的生命”，了解大自然中小型生物的重要性。通过分析视频内容，学习者将练习听力和口语，特别是在描述生物多样性和生态循环方面的表达。观看该视频不仅能够提升英语理解能力，还能增强雅思口语练习的自信心，帮助你在复杂的主题上进行更流利的交谈。通过echoing和shadowspeak的方式来模仿视频中的语音，可以帮助掌握自然发音和流畅度。
关键词汇与短语
- 多样性 (Diversity) - 生物的多样性在自然环境中至关重要。
- 生态循环 (Ecological cycle) - 生命的循环过程。
- 微小生物 (Micro-organisms) - 地面和水中存在的小型生物。
- 新物种 (New species) - 科学家发现的新生物种类。
- 营养物质 (Nutrients) - 反哺土壤的重要成分。
- 观察 (Observation) - 记录生物活动的一种方式。
- 丰富的生态环境 (Rich ecological environment) - 特定地区拥有多样生物的环境。
练习建议
在使用该视频进行练习时，建议配合shadow speak法来提升你的口语能力。由于视频中的语速中等，学习者可以尝试跟读，以确保能准确捕捉到每个单词的发音和语调。最好在观看时，暂停视频，模仿其语音，然后再继续观看，重复这一过程，这样可以有效地将所学知识内部化。此外，建议在日常生活中使用新学的词汇，比如在讨论生态环境和小生物时尝试运用“微小生物”和“生态循环”等术语，增强记忆和应用能力。通过“看YouTube学英语”的方式，不仅能体会到不同的口音和表达，还能深入理解主题的复杂性，进而提高雅思口语练习的整体表现。利用“shadowspeaks”策略，使得你的学习过程更加有趣且有效。
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。
