Section 1.
2
You will hear a telephone conversation between a travel agent and a customer.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Good morning, World Tours.
7
My name is Jamie.
8
How can I help you?
9
Good morning.
10
I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA.
11
Could you send me a brochure? Of course.
12
Could I have your name, please?
13
Andrea Brown.
14
The customer's name is Andrea Brown, so Brown has been written in the space.
15
Now we shall begin.
16
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
17
Listen carefully and answer questions one to six.
18
Good morning, World Tours.
19
My name is Jamie.
20
How can I help you?
21
Good morning.
22
I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA.
23
Could you send me a brochure? Of course.
24
Could I have your name, please?
25
Andrea Brown.
26
Thank you.
27
And your address?
28
24 Ardley Road.
29
Can you spell that?
30
A-R-D-L-E-I-G-H Road.
31
Postcode?
32
B-H-5-2-O-P.
33
Thanks.
34
And can I have your phone number?
35
Is a mobile all right?
36
Fine.
37
It's 077-86-643-091.
38
Thank you.
39
And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours? from a friend or did you see an advert somewhere?
40
No, I read about you in the newspaper.
41
OK, I'll get the brochures and the post to you, but can I give you some information over the phone?
42
What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?
43
I'm interested in going to California with my family.
44
I've got two children and we want to hire a car.
45
OK, we have a couple of self-drive tours there, visiting different places of interest in California.
46
The first one begins in Los Angeles and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there.
47
Ah, that's something on my children's list, so I'd want to include that.
48
Good.
49
Then you drive to San Francisco.
50
From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park, where you spend a couple of nights.
51
You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.
52
I don't like the idea of staying in a tent.
53
It'd be too hot.
54
Right.
55
And the tour ends in Las Vegas.
56
OK.
57
The other trip we can arrange is slightly different.
58
It starts in San Francisco, then you drive south to Cambria.
59
Someone told me there's a really nice castle near Cambria.
60
Will we go near that?
61
Hurst Castle is on that road, so you could stop there.
62
Good.
63
I'd like to do that.
64
Does this trip also go into the desert?
65
No, it continues to Santa Monica, where most people like to stop and do some shopping.
66
We have enough of that at home, so that doesn't interest us.
67
OK.
68
Well, you could go straight on to San Diego.
69
That's good for beaches, isn't it?
70
That's right.
71
That's a good place to relax, and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.
72
I don't think so.
73
We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.
74
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
75
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
76
So, how many days are the trips, and how much do they cost?
77
The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California, which lasts 12 days and covers 2,020 kilometres.
78
The shortest journey is 206 kilometres, and the longest is 632 kilometres.
79
The cost is £525 per person.
80
That includes accommodation, car rental and a flight, but no meals.
81
OK.
82
And the other trip?
83
That lasts nine days, but you spend only three days on the road.
84
You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.
85
So is that cheaper then?
86
Yes, it's almost £100 cheaper.
87
It's £429 per person, which is a good deal.
88
So that covers accommodation and car hire.
89
What about flights?
90
They aren't included, but these hotels offer dinner in the price.
91
OK, well, thank you very much.
92
I'll be in touch when I've had a chance to look at the brochure.
93
I'm pleased to help.
94
Goodbye.
95
Goodbye.
96
That is the end of Section 1.
97
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
98
Thank you.

क्यों इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास करें?

इस वीडियो में आप एक यात्रा एजेंट और एक ग्राहक के बीच की टेलीफोन बातचीत सुनेंगे। इस बातचीत के माध्यम से अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करना न केवल आपकी सुनने की क्षमता को बढ़ाएगा, बल्कि आपको वास्तविक जीवन की स्थितियों में संवाद के प्रति अधिक आत्मविश्वास भी देगा। जब आप shadow speech तकनीक का उपयोग करते हैं, तो आप बातचीत को इमिटेट करते हुए सही उच्चारण और संवाद शैली को समझ सकते हैं। इस प्रकार का अभ्यास आपके अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार के लिए अत्यंत फायदेमंद है, क्योंकि आप सहजता से महत्वपूर्ण वाक्यांशों और सवालों के उत्तर देने का कौशल विकसित करते हैं।

व्याकरण और प्रसंग में अभिव्यक्तियाँ

  • "Could you send me a brochure?" - इस वाक्य में विनम्रता का उपयोग किया गया है, जो किसी से अनुरोध करते समय महत्वपूर्ण है।
  • "Can I have your name, please?" - यहाँ 'please' जोड़ना उसे और अधिक विनम्र बनाता है।
  • "Where you heard about World Tours?" - आप जब किसी के अनुभव के बारे में पूछते हैं, तो यह एक सामान्य प्रश्न हो सकता है।
  • "I'd want to include that." - यह वाक्य दर्शाता है कि व्यक्ति क्या चाहता है और यह एक निपुणता का संकेत है कि वह प्लानिंग में सक्रिय रूप से जुड़ा हुआ है।

सामान्य उच्चारण की बाधाएँ

वीडियो में उच्चारण के कुछ चुनौतीपूर्ण शब्द हैं, जैसे कि "Ardley" और "Yosemite"। ये शब्द विशेष रूप से गैर-स्थानीय लोगों के लिए मुश्किल हो सकते हैं। सही उच्चारण के लिए, आप shadowspeak तकनीक का उपयोग कर सकते हैं, जहाँ आप पहले वीडियो में दिए गए शब्दों को ध्यान से सुनते हैं और उसके बाद उन्हें दोहराते हैं। इसके अलावा, ध्यान रखें कि शैडो स्पीक के ज़रिए एक विविधता में उच्चारण का अभ्यास करना आपको ऐसे शब्दों की समझ में मदद करेगा जो अन्यथा निकले में कठिन लग सकते हैं। अपने उच्चारण में सुधार के लिए इस तकनीक का निरंतर उपयोग करने से आप न केवल स्पष्टता बढ़ा सकते हैं, बल्कि अपनी संवाद कौशल को भी नया आयाम दे सकते हैं।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
