Part 3.
2
You will hear two students called Jeannie and Dan discussing some research on the effects of music on consumer behaviour.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
6
Hi, Dan.
7
How's it going?
8
Hello, Jeannie.
9
Pretty well, thanks.
10
Have you finished your research yet?
11
Yes, it's all done.
12
I've spent several weeks on it, from the very beginning of deciding the topic, to carrying out the research and writing the essay.
13
Congratulations!
14
Seems like a big project.
15
I know the research has to do with music, but what is it exactly about?
16
Well, at first I didn't have a specific purpose until one day I read a report
17
that said if appropriate music is played while people are eating, it may cause some changes in their behavior.
18
But the report didn't illustrate the changes in detail.
19
So I wanted to carry out a thorough investigation into this.
20
That's quite unique.
21
So how did you conduct your research?
22
I started by looking for five different restaurants
23
and then went to each of the restaurants to order some food and observe other people.
24
I mainly focused on how the music is played instead of how people eat.
25
Findings of my observations indicate that the five restaurants have something in common.
26
They all have a special section to play the music.
27
More importantly, although the music is played at different times, the volume is unchanged.
28
Sounds attractive.
29
I've never read anything about this before.
30
In addition to observation, what other research methods have you used?
31
I also distributed the survey questionnaire to people dining there.
32
What questions are posed in your questionnaire?
33
Well, the first section of the questionnaire asks subjects to indicate the number of times they have been to the restaurant previously,
34
the number of people they dine with, and whether they think they will return to the restaurant.
35
These early questions don't involve musical preferences, but largely act as distractors,
36
The intention being that subjects will be less inclined to think that the survey is about the music being played.
37
That sounds very reasonable.
38
Did you design the questionnaire by yourself?
39
Actually, no. I read an assignment a student wrote last year, which was just kept beside a dictionary in the library.
40
I came across it when I was looking something up in the dictionary.
41
Oh, you're so lucky.
42
Is there any other question included in the questionnaire?
43
Yes.
44
Subjects are also asked why they choose to dine at a particular restaurant.
45
Several reasons are listed in the questionnaire.
46
I thought people would put service first, but that's not the case.
47
Only about 12 percent of them have chosen this reason,
48
while the majority of respondents think whether they will pick this restaurant depends on how many available seats it has.
49
They think it's terrible to eat in a crowded place.
50
Yes, everyone wants to enjoy a meal comfortably.
51
Then I guess maybe the location of a restaurant is an important factor, since no one likes to waste too much time on the way?
52
It used to be, but nowadays nearly every household has a private car, so they don't have to be worried about the traffic problem.
53
What I find interesting, however, is that a large percentage of people say they will compare different restaurants in the neighborhood,
54
on the Internet first.
55
If one of them stands out from its rivals, they will choose it.
56
Wow, that's really interesting.
57
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
58
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
59
What else then?
60
Well, the second section of the questionnaire asks subjects to respond to the music being played by rating
61
so that the relationship between music and perceived atmosphere could be examined directly, as a means of examining purchase intention,
62
the final section of the questionnaire asks them to indicate the
63
maximum amount of money they are prepared to spend on their main meal.
64
Dr. So what have you finally discovered?
65
I collected all the questionnaires and analysed people's answers to get a clear idea of their reactions to different music conditions.
66
The result shows that music has become an indispensable part of restaurants.
67
If people find there isn't any music during the meal, they will think the restaurant charges too much.
68
Yes, now music is everywhere in our life.
69
Is there any difference in people's attitudes towards different musical styles?
70
Yes.
71
Most people think that if jazz is being played when eating, they tend to stay at the restaurant longer
72
and order more food to enjoy the music
73
but this is quite the opposite of what happens
74
when classical music is played many customers think
75
if the restaurant plays classical music they wouldn't like to stay there for another minute
76
but to finish the food quickly and hurry away
77
because they don't like this type of music at all and lastly about pop music very popular these days,
78
especially among young people, as I've noticed in restaurants.
79
They like listening to this type of music during their meals.
80
As a result, this greatly increases the possibility of their presence at the same restaurant.
81
Great.
82
I've learned a lot from your research.
83
I think it's meaningful and innovative.
84
Thanks for telling me, Jeannie.
85
You're welcome, Dan.
86
That is the end of part three.
87
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.

Kontext & Hintergrund

In dieser Diskussion zwischen den Studenten Jeannie und Dan geht es um Dan's Forschung zu den Auswirkungen von Musik auf das Verhalten von Konsumenten. Dan hat wochenlang an seinem Projekt gearbeitet, das mit Musik in Restaurants zusammenhängt. Er begann mit einer allgemeinen Neugier, die durch einen Bericht angeregt wurde, der behauptete, dass passende Musik während des Essens das Verhalten der Menschen beeinflussen kann. Diese Thematik eröffnet Einblicke in die kreative Verbindung zwischen akustischen Elementen und sozialen Interaktionen.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und das Verständnis für die Konversation zwischen Jeannie und Dan zu vertiefen, befolge diese Shadowing-Technik:

  1. Video sichten: Schau dir das Video zunächst ohne Hintergrundgeräusche an. Konzentriere dich auf die Inhalte und notiere dir wichtige Punkte, wie das Thema der Forschung.
  2. Erste Anhörung: Höre das Video erneut und achte darauf, wie die Studenten ihre Sätze aussprechen. Achte auf ihre Intonation und das Tempo der Sprache.
  3. Shadowing-Übung: Spiele das Video ab und sprich gleichzeitig nach, um deine shadow speech zu üben. Wiederhole Sätze direkt nach den Sprechenden, um ein Gefühl für die Rhythmik und den Sprachfluss zu entwickeln.
  4. Selbstaufnahme: Nimm dich dabei auf und vergleiche deine Aussprache mit der der Sprecher im Video. Identifiziere Bereiche, die du verbessern möchtest.
  5. Wiederholung: Wiederhole das Shadowing mehrmals, um sicherzustellen, dass deine Aussprache und dein Verständnis der englischen Sprache stetig verbessert werden.

Diese Methode fördert nicht nur das Sprachverständnis, sondern stärkt auch dein Selbstvertrauen im Sprechen durch shadowspeak. Nutze diese Techniken auf deinem shadowing site, um deine Fähigkeiten kontinuierlich zu verfeinern.

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.
