Shadowing trains prosody — the melody of English — which carries as much meaning as vocabulary at the Fluency level. This arc has about 32 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences. Watch for question forms and mark rising intonation. Average sentence length is about 16 words, which supports controlled pacing. Key terms include comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague, intrigued.
But Nova's colleague Sarah is intrigued by the proposal and wants to collaborate on a more comprehensive approach.
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.
But Nova's colleague Sarah is intrigued by the proposal and wants to collaborate on a more comprehensive approach. Sometimes systemic change starts with two people deciding to push back against institutional inertia.
Arc 14 in "Code and Conscience" applies Technology & Innovation language to practical communication tasks at the Fluency level. Key terms such as comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague appear repeatedly, while the dominant passive_voice pattern gives you a stable structure for controlled repetition across roughly 2 sentences.
The passive voice shifts focus from the actor to the action or recipient, serving strategic communicative purposes. Formed with "be" + past participle (was written, is being reviewed), it appears frequently in scientific writing, news reporting, and formal documents where objectivity matters. English speakers choose passive to emphasize results over agents ("The vaccine was approved"), to conceal responsibility ("Mistakes were made"), or when actors are unknown or irrelevant. Not every sentence benefits from passive—overuse creates wordy, impersonal prose. Academic and professional contexts require passive for describing methods and processes, while creative writing generally prefers active voice for directness and energy. Learning when to deploy passive strategically improves both comprehension and production.
Use a listen-first routine for Arc 14: 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 comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague, intrigued. Use slight pitch changes on emphasis words to avoid flat delivery.
When you shadow, your mirror neuron system activates the same neural circuits used in speech production, priming your motor system before you even speak. This Technology & Innovation lesson gives you topic-specific rehearsal rather than isolated sentence practice. For Fluency learners, the goal is controlled accuracy first, then automatic fluency. Key vocabulary in this arc includes comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague, intrigued, so repeated retrieval improves both precision and retention. The dominant sentence profile is passive_voice, so focus on consistent stress placement and boundary control. You will process about 32 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences, enough volume to consolidate the target pattern. A full pass takes roughly 1 minute at natural speed, which fits focused daily reps.

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 32 total words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences. That is about 1 minute of reading time.
The dominant sentence pattern in this arc is passive_voice. Focus on consistent stress placement and boundary control.
Target vocabulary includes comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague, intrigued. The arc contains 13 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 14 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 (comprehensive, institutional, collaborate, colleague) stays the same across modes, so switching modes reinforces the same content through different skills.
