Hello, everyone. My name is Garrett, and today is a great day to learn something new. So let’s do that together, friends. My name is Anne-Marie. And this is Studio Classroom.

Friends, these days technology is changing how we do so many different things, from how we play a video game to how we write an essay. But how about how we travel? Well, that’s what we’ll get into today.

Our lesson is called Nature Eye. That’s right. Nature Eye is a way that you can travel to places you might not be able to physically go. It’s a way that you can explore different natural habitats and landmarks without having to leave your couch.

Exactly. Why would you want to do that? What are the benefits? Well, we’ll get into all of that as we go through our lesson today, friends. Let’s get right into it. Here’s our first reading.

Nature Eye, exploring the world without leaving a footprint.

For those driven by a desire to see the world but limited by time or budget, a new form of exploration has begun to emerge.

Since its launch in October 2023, Nature Eye has offered users the rare chance to remotely fly a drone in real time over some of the planet’s most spectacular and protected ecosystems.

Whether it’s soaring over the volcanoes of Iceland or drifting across the wild landscapes of Kenya, the drone allows participants to experience natural wonders without contributing to the harmful effects of overtourism.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Language Lab. I’m Jack.

首先我们来看名词 Ecosystem。字首 eco 表示生态的或是环境的。Ecosystem 是指生态系统。来看个例句。 Learning about ecosystems teaches students that all living things, including themselves, play a role and that their actions impact the system.

学习生态系统可以让学生了解所有生物，包括他们自己，都在系统中扮演一个角色，而且他们的行为会影响整个系统。另外，形容词 eco-friendly 是指环保的。譬如 We take protecting the environment seriously, so we always stay in eco-friendly hostels and hotels when traveling.

我们非常重视环境保护，因此旅行时总是住在环保旅馆和饭店。名词 ecology 是指研究生态的学问，也就是生态学。例如 Her studies in ecology included a six-month internship working as a conservation intern at an environmental center.

她的生态学学习包括在环境中心做六个月的保育实习生。 All right, friends, what if you could travel anywhere you wanted without actually going there?
