1
Unit 6.
2
B. What's in your neighbourhood?
3
Gabi Salazar takes photographs of rare species and teaches people about them.
4
In this interview, she answers questions about her experience with citizen science.
5
What was your first citizen science project?
6
A Gabi Salazar, it was over ten years ago.
7
One of my friends in Peru was very interested in birds, so we walked around with our cameras and notebooks for a day.
8
We saw many different species and we took photos of them.
9
Later, we posted all our data on eBird.
10
What is eBird?
11
B. Gabby Salazar.
12
It's an internet-based citizen science project at Cornell University in the United States.
13
People around the world record information about birds they see.
14
Today, eBird has over 590 million observations of more than 10,000 different bird species.
15
Scientists use this data to answer important questions.
16
For example, where do certain birds live?
17
How many are there?
18
How can a person become a citizen scientist?
19
See Gabby Salazar.
20
It's easy.
21
First, find a project that you like online.
22
One of my favourites is iNaturalist, which studies animals and plants.
23
Then, download the Projects app one and use your phone to take pictures.
24
For example, you can photograph different kinds of trees near your home or school.
25
When you're done, upload your photos to iNaturalist.
26
If you don't know the name of an animal or plant, other people can tell you.
27
It's a great way to learn about your environment and you also assist scientists with their research.
28
D. If you can't take photos, you can still contribute to citizen science.
29
For example, you can take part in a fun project called Wild Watch Kenya.
30
Experts hide cameras in trees and other places.
31
When an animal moves past, the camera takes a photo.
32
Citizen scientists then review the images online and identify the animals they see.
33
The Lost Ladybug Project.
34
For years, scientists in North America thought the nine-spotted ladybug pictured below was extinct.
35
Then citizen scientist Peter Priolo photographed the insect in New York.
36
He sent his photo to the Lost Ladybug Project, a site that is creating a map of different ladybug species.
37
Now scientists know something important.
38
The nine-spotted ladybug is rare but not extinct.
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看和跟读这个视频，学习者可以更好地理解和使用与居民科学相关的词汇和结构。这段采访展示了如何参与公民科学项目，涉及到许多具体的情境和例子。这样的练习有助于提升雅思口语练习的能力，通过真实对话提升流利度和自信心。此外，学习者可以通过捕捉特定信息来增强记忆和理解，有效促进英语影子跟读的学习效果。
语法与表达在语境中
在视频中，Gabi Salazar使用了一些关键语法结构和表达方式，这里分析其中的三到五个：
- 过去时态: Gabi提到"它是在十年前"（It was over ten years ago），通过这样表达过去的经历，学习者能够更好地描述自己过往的故事和经历。
- 条件句: 当她提到"如果你不知道某种动物的名字，其他人可以告诉你"（If you don't know the name of an animal or plant, other people can tell you），这启示学习者如何构建假设句，从而在对话中表达条件关系。
- 命令句: Gabi提到"首先，找到你喜欢的项目并下载应用程序"（First, find a project that you like online），这种表达方式对于指导他人行动非常有效，适合用于日常交流和建议。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些发音可能会对学习者造成困扰：
- Citizen Science: "Cit-i-zen"和"Science"可能在快速发音时容易混淆，建议学习者多加练习这两个词的清晰发音。
- eBird: 确保"e"的发音清晰，以及连读时不要将词音消失。
- Rare: 学习者可能会将其发音错误，注意清晰强调"r"音。
通过不断练习这些发音，学习者将在雅思口语练习和英语口语练习中更加自信，也更容易进行流利的shadow speech。
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。
