1
Now turn to section 2.
2
Section 2 You will hear a man being interviewed on local radio about a plan to improve a suburb called Red Hill.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.
5
Good morning and welcome again to Your City Today.
6
With me today is Graham Campbell, a councillor from the City Council.
7
He'll be telling us about the plan to improve the fast-growing suburb of Red Hill.
8
Good morning, Graham, and welcome to the show.
9
Good morning, Carol.
10
Now, Graham, I understand that there has been a lot of community consultation for the new plan.
11
Yes, we've tried to address some of the concerns that local groups told us about.
12
People we've heard from are mainly worried about traffic in the area, and in particular the increasing speed of cars near schools.
13
They feel that it's only a matter of time before there's an accident as a lot of children walk to the school.
14
So we're trying to do something about that.
15
Another area of concern is the overhead power lines.
16
These are very old, and a lot of people we spoke to asked if something could be done about them.
17
Well, I'm happy to report that the power company have agreed to move the power lines underground at a cost of $800,000.
18
I think that will really improve the look of the area as well as being safer.
19
That's good to know.
20
But will that mean an increase in rates for the local businesses in that area?
21
Well, the power company have agreed to bear the cost of this themselves after a lot of discussion with the council.
22
This is wonderful news, as the Council now has some extra funds for us to put into other things like tree planting and artwork.
23
Before you hear the rest of the interview, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
24
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
25
Now, we've also put together a map which we've sent out to all the residents in the area.
26
and on the map we've marked the proposed changes.
27
Firstly, we'll plant mature pine trees to provide shelter and shade just to the right of the supermarket in Days Road.
28
In order to address the traffic problems, the pavements on the corner of Carberry and Thomas Street will be widened.
29
This will help to reduce the speed of vehicles entering Thomas Street.
30
We think it's very important to separate the local residential streets from the main road, So, the roadway at the entrance to Thomas Street from Days Road will be painted red.
31
This should mark it more clearly and act as a signal for traffic to slow down.
32
One way of making sure that the pedestrians are safe is to increase signage at the intersections.
33
A keep clear sign will be erected at the junction of Evelyn Street
34
and Hill Street to enable traffic to exit at all times.
35
Something we're planning to do to help control the flow of
36
traffic in the area is to install traffic lights halfway down Hill Street where it crosses Day's Road.
37
Now, we haven't only thought about the cars and traffic of course, there's also something for the children.
38
We're going to get school children in the area to research a local story, the life of a local sports hero perhaps, and an artist will incorporate
39
that story into paintings on the wall of a building on the other side of Hill Street from the supermarket.
40
And finally, we've agreed to build a new children's playground which will be be at the other end of Hill Street, close to the intersection with Carberry Street.
41
Wonderful.
42
Now, what's the next stage?
43
Well, the final plan...
44
That is the end of Section 2.
45
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
46
Thank you.

Gramática en este vídeo

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:

EstructuraEn el vídeo

Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hacebeing interviewed · could be done · will be widened

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 13 contracciones y formas reducidas, como we've, we're, haven't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: intersection /ˈɪntəɹˌsɛkʃən/, junction /ˈd͡ʒʌŋkʃən/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/, shade /ʃeɪd/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/, intersection /ˈɪntəɹˌsɛkʃən/, incorporate /ɪŋˈkɔɹ.pɚ.eɪt/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: pavement /ˈpeɪvm(ə)nt/, overhead /ˈəʊvəˌhɛd/
  • /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: signage /ˈsaɪnɪd͡ʒ/, junction /ˈd͡ʒʌŋkʃən/
  • /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: overhead /ˈəʊvəˌhɛd/, halfway /ˌhæfˈweɪ/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como supermarket, suburb, intersection.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
