Filippo Brunelleschi has been asked to build a dome for the Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence you

He was a clockmaker.
6
But he loved beautiful buildings, and for him, It was the job of a lifetime.
7
He thought hard and very carefully.
8
you you Thank you.
9
Then he had an amazing idea.
10
He suggested a design for the dome that experts don't fully understand.
11
Even to this day, At the time, Domes were often built as semicircles.
12
But this dome needed to have eight sides.
13
So, it would need to be very tall and very strong.
14
Even worse, The bottom of the dome was shaped like an octagon with no true center point.
15
But, Brunelleschi solved the problem.
16
He would build not one, but two domes.
17
an inner dome and an outer dome.
18
The domes would be held together by giant brick arches and rings of stone and wood.
19
The rings would keep the heavy dome from breaking or changing shape.
20
To move heavy materials up to the top of the dome, Brunelleschi designed new lifting machines.

His inventions were far ahead of his time.

28
So, Brunelleschi had his workers put the bricks in a special pattern.
29
This pattern would hold the bricks together.
30
He also asked the workers to give the sticky material between each row of bricks Time to dry before adding more bricks.
31
Because of this The dome was built very slowly.
32
It grew about 30 centimeters a month.
33
But perhaps what's most confusing to experts is how he was able to put every brick in just the right position.
34
No one knows exactly how he did it.
35
But it worked.
36
The eight sides of the dome came together in just the right way.
37
In all, it took 16 years to complete the dome.
38
When he died in 1446,
39
Brunelleschi did not leave behind any sketches or details of his amazing design.
40
Today, It remains one of the largest domes in the world more than 500 years after it was built.
41
Thank you.

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。
