1
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
2
Now, let me just tell you a bit about what you can see in the sculpture park.
3
If you look at your map, you'll see the visitor centre where we are now at the bottom, just by the entrance.
4
Since we only have an hour, you might not be able to get right around the park, but you can choose to visit some of the highlights.
5
You might like to take a look at the Joe Tremaine sculptures, which are displayed on this side of the upper lake,
6
just behind the education centre and near the bridge.
7
They're really impressive, but please remember not to let your children climb on them.
8
One of our most popular exhibitions is the Giorgio Catalucci bird sculptures.
9
They're just across the bridge on the north side of the lower lake.
10
I love the way they're scattered around in the long grass beside the lake, looking as if they're just about to take to their wings.
11
You could also go to the garden gallery.
12
It's on this side of the upper lake.
13
From the visitor centre, you go to the education centre, then keep on along the path and you'll see it on your right.
14
There's an exhibition of animal carvings there, which is well worth a look.
15
We also have the Longhouse.
16
That's quite a walk.
17
From here, you go to the bridge and then turn left on the other side.
18
Soon you'll see a winding pathway going up towards the northern boundary of the park.
19
Go up there and you'll find it at the top.
20
They have some abstract metal sculptures that are well worth seeing if you have time.
21
OK, well, now...
22
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
23
Pause the recording for 30 seconds.
24
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
25
Now, if you'd like to look at your map, we'll begin our tour.
26
The site is a bit like a circle, with the railway going round the edge.
27
You can see where we are now by the entrance, and we're going to start by walking to the high street.
28
We'll go to the crossroads in the middle of the map, and go straight on, making our way between two buildings on either side of the path.
29
The larger one is an exhibition centre, but it's not open today, unfortunately.
30
The other building is offices.
31
The path leads directly to the High Street building, which is at the opposite side of the site to the entrance.
32
Here you're free to wander around and take a ride up and down on a tram.
33
We'll then take the path which follows the railway line and crosses it to the farm.
34
If you wish, you can have tea in the farmhouse, and there'll be time to look at the animals and the machinery.
35
Then we cross the railway line again and visit our special attraction, which is the coal mine.
36
It's just in front of us, here at the entrance.
37
We'll return to the crossroads and walk through a small wooded area to the manor house.
38
This is one of the original buildings on the site and belonged to a wealthy farmer.
39
You can look round the house and gardens
40
and talk to our guides who can tell you what it was like to live there.
41
We will then follow a path which goes past the pond and will take us to the railway station
42
which is situated between the path and the railway line.
43
Finally, we'll take the steam train back around the site,
44
passing alongside the high street and the coal mine back to the entrance.
45
So, if you'd like to follow me...
46
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
47
OK, so this slide shows a map of the central area of Granford with the High Street in the middle
48
and School Road on the right.
49
Now, we already have a set of traffic lights in the High Street at the junction with Station Road, but we're planning to have another set at the other end
50
at the school road junction to regulate the flow of traffic along the high street.
51
We've decided we definitely need a pedestrian crossing.
52
We considered putting this on school road just outside the school
53
but in the end we decided that could lead to a lot of traffic congestion
54
so we decided to locate it on the high street crossing the road in front of the supermarket.
55
That's a very busy area, so it should help things there.
56
We're proposing some changes to parking.
57
At present, parking isn't allowed on the High Street outside the library, but we are going to change that and allow parking there,
58
but not at the other end of the High Street near School Road.
59
There will be a new No Parking sign on School Road just by the entrance to the school, forbidding parking for 25 metres.
60
This should improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians
61
especially on the bend just to the north of the school
62
As far as disabled drivers are concerned at present they have parking outside the supermarket
63
but lorries also use those spaces
64
so we've got two new disabled parking spaces on the side road up towards the bank
65
It's not ideal but probably better than the present arrangement We also plan to widen the pavement on School Road.
66
We think we can manage to get an extra half metre on the bend just before you get to the school, on the same side of the road.
67
Finally, we've introduced new restrictions on loading and unloading for the supermarket, so lorries will only be allowed to stop there before 8am.
68
That's the supermarket on School Road.
69
We kept to the existing arrangements with the High Street supermarket.
70
OK, so that's...
71
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
72
Right.
73
Now, if you'd like to gather a little closer to the window, I'll point out the various buildings.
74
We're at the highest point of the stadium here in the rooftop cafe, on the opposite side to the main entrance doors.
75
On our left, you can see two buildings just beyond the end of the stadium.
76
The closest one is the business centre, used for meetings and conferences and so on,
77
which which provides a good source of revenue for the upkeep of the sports facilities.
78
And next to the business centre, the bigger building is the hotel, which is rented from us by an independent company.
79
As you see, they are served by the perimeter road, which runs round three quarters of the site.
80
Now, coming round to the front of the building, immediately in front of the entrance,
81
that circular open space at the end of the road is the transport hub.
82
From here there are buses and a monorail link to the free car park, about 10 minutes from here, but you can't see that.
83
There's also a large secure cycle park, oh and disabled parking of course.
84
People find it's very convenient and it keeps the site virtually car free.
85
OK, now if you look as far as you can over to the right,
86
beyond the buildings, you can see our outdoor pitches, which I mentioned earlier.
87
Between the pitches and the entrance is a little kind of pedestrian plaza.
88
Are you with me?
89
No, I'm not.
90
OK, with the cinema in the building furthest away from us, next to the pitches.
91
Then there's the 10-pin bowling between the cinema and the road.
92
Near the far end of the perimeter road and between the mini roundabout and the pitches,
93
there's our fitness centre with all kinds of equipment and a small pool and changing rooms for teams using the pitches.
94
Then, joined onto the stadium, next to the entrance, is a range of small shops,
95
which all specialise in sports equipment, clothes, shoes.
96
They sell toys and so on as well.
97
All that sort of thing.
98
They seem to be doing well.
99
As you see, the service road goes right round, but we keep the traffic and the pedestrians well apart.
100
So it's all very relaxed round the plaza, popular with families.
101
And just in front of the bowling is our lovely restaurant.
102
You can see it from here.
103
It's that building on the plaza between us and the bowling.
104
It's open all day and in the evenings.
105
There's quite a queue there at weekends, I'm pleased to say.
106
So now you've got the layout we can go and have a closer look at everything

Über diese Lektion

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
