1
Now turn to part four.
2
You will hear part of a radio arts programme in which two people, Arthur and Carla, are discussing a book called Windworld.
3
For questions 23 to 28, decide whether the opinions are expressed by only one of the speakers or whether the speakers agree.
4
Write A for Arthur, C for Carla, or B for both where they agree.
5
You now have 30 seconds in which to look at part 4.
6
Today on A Good Read we're talking about George Swallow's novel Windworld, published last year and it has just won the Bateman Prize.
7
We have with us Arthur Lachman, writer, and Carla Fletcher, who lectures in engineering at King's College.
8
Arthur, let's start with you.
9
Well, I read the novel when it first came out, and I was very happy to be asked to re-read it for this programme.
10
And I remembered the powerful characterisation, the certainty of touch, particularly the older protagonist, Joe Bean, and his sisters,
11
in the throes of change from one era to another.
12
Rather miserable characters, but assured portraits.
13
What I valued as well was the atmosphere Swallow creates, the sense that everything he created felt right within the time and place.
14
Did you find that?
15
Very interesting question.
16
As a scientist, I always come to books with a critical eye for technical details.
17
As I say, Joe Bean and his family as people rang incredibly true for me.
18
I found myself doubting whether certain incidents, certain assumptions, squared with the period in which the book is set.
19
I have to say that I found the sheer amount of technical detail about inventions, which Swallow included as a labour of love,
20
I have no doubt, gave the layperson a hard time, making it difficult to follow the plot.
21
Hmm.
22
I actually found myself comparing all these descriptions of the windmills and pumps with his earlier works,
23
Learner Games and Thorn, which both dealt with the same period, but neither of which included this kind of complexity.
24
Much more populist, deliberately more accessible to a wide readership.
25
There is much to link the writing of all three books.
26
You can recognise Swallow's individual voice in all of them.
27
He's speaking to one specific audience, in my view.
28
Do you feel Windworld is a great novel?
29
Oh, very much so.
30
The current of the author's own life in the east of England pulses through the whole work so compellingly.
31
So, yes, I would say that it lifts this book into the category of great writing.
32
I wouldn't be quite that positive, though I do agree that the character of Joe Bean draws its strength from the writer's close acquaintance with Joe's environment.
33
To my mind, he's almost certainly Swallow, putting himself in another age,
34
positioning himself with his upbringing and his character and his beliefs in the 18th century.
35
I was intrigued by some of these set episodes, like the incident with the birds.
36
It was genuinely fascinating, I thought.
37
I understand the film rights have been bought.
38
Do you think it'll work as well as the book does?
39
No question.
40
If they keep away from too much social realism and misery.
41
If they don't make Joe's story the central one, it'll die a death.
42
Well, just about all the stories are likely to come through well, in my opinion.
43
We'll have to see how it turns out.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
