Learn to recognise and reproduce connected speech phenomena — linking, elision, and assimilation — through repeated audio shadowing. This arc has about 34 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences. You will encounter about 17 unique words, so repeat tricky terms to lock in form. Use emphasis to keep key phrases clear and expressive. A full pass takes about 1 minutes at a natural speed.
Tomorrow he's presenting the network's first annual report to city council, with proposals for pollinator protection ordinances and green infrastructure investments.
This arc contains only declarative sentences, making it ideal for practicing steady speech rhythm and consistent stress placement across every line. At under a minute of reading time, this arc works as a micro-drill that you can repeat several times in one session for deep reinforcement. With repeat-audio mode, the native voice model gives you an authentic benchmark for everything from vowel reduction to linking — listen actively before each shadowing attempt.
Tomorrow he's presenting the network's first annual report to city council, with proposals for pollinator protection ordinances and green infrastructure investments. Sometimes environmental change happens one rooftop, one conversation, one hive at a time.
This Fluency arc uses Community & Social Connection context to make each sentence semantically connected instead of isolated drill material. Because vocabulary like infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments recurs in sequence, retrieval strength improves with each pass, and the declarative sentence profile keeps attention on transferable grammar control.
Phrasal verbs combine base verbs with particles (prepositions or adverbs) to create meanings often unrelated to the component parts—"give up" (surrender), "look into" (investigate), and "put off" (postpone) exemplify this. English relies heavily on phrasal verbs, especially in spoken and informal registers, making them essential for natural communication. Some phrasal verbs are separable (turn the lights off / turn off the lights), while others are inseparable (look after the children). Three-word phrasal verbs (put up with, look forward to) follow additional patterns. Many phrasal verbs have formal single-word equivalents (find out/discover, set up/establish) that appear in academic and professional writing. Understanding these relationships helps learners choose appropriate register. Building phrasal verb competence requires exposure and practice—there are thousands in common use.
Use a listen-first routine for Arc 20: hear each sentence once without speaking, then shadow it immediately on the second pass. Match timing first, then stress and intonation, so your rhythm follows the native pattern instead of word-by-word reading. This Fluency shadowing set includes 1 clips and helps you build automatic pacing with infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments, presenting. Use slight pitch changes on emphasis words to avoid flat delivery.
Shadowing in "The Rooftop Revolution" Arc 20 relies on rapid auditory-motor coupling: you hear a native pattern, then reproduce it before working memory decays. This listen-imitate loop recruits mirror-system processes that sharpen timing, stress, and connected speech at the Fluency level. This Community & Social Connection lesson gives you topic-specific rehearsal rather than isolated sentence practice. Key vocabulary in this arc includes infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments, presenting, so repeated retrieval improves both precision and retention. The dominant sentence profile is declarative, so focus on consistent stress placement and boundary control. You will process about 34 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences, enough volume to consolidate the target pattern. As timing alignment improves, your speech becomes less segmented and closer to native connected rhythm.

Use a short mid-sentence pause and keep the second half connected to the same rhythm.
This page is intentionally dedicated to repeat audio for "The Rooftop Revolution" Arc 20, so learners can train listening rhythm and intonation matching in one focused session rather than a mixed-mode screen.
Community & Social content at the Fluency level gives you 1 short exercises to practice comprehension and natural rhythm with vocabulary such as infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments.
Practical answers about what this lesson trains, how it differs from nearby arcs, and when to use this mode.
You will practice listening rhythm and intonation matching through 1 exercises in the community & social category. Core terms include infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments.
This is the first available arc in the sequence, so it establishes the baseline vocabulary and pacing before later arcs increase complexity.
Repeat Audio is optimized for listening rhythm and intonation matching. Use this mode when you want focused repetitions on shadowing the audio to mirror timing and stress.
This arc contains 34 total words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences. That is about 1 minute of reading time.
Target vocabulary includes infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments, presenting. The arc contains 17 unique words, so repeat tricky terms across multiple passes to lock in both form and meaning.
At natural speaking speed, one complete pass takes about 1 minute. This makes it ideal for a quick daily practice session, and you can repeat the arc multiple times for deeper reinforcement.
Yes — Arc 20 is designed for the Fluency tier. If you find the exercises too challenging, try a lower tier arc in the same category. If they feel easy, move up to the next tier for a greater challenge.
Yes. You can try this same arc in read aloud mode for pronunciation clarity, repeat audio mode for listening and rhythm, or type what you hear mode for dictation precision. The vocabulary (infrastructure, environmental, conversation, investments) stays the same across modes, so switching modes reinforces the same content through different skills.
