1
Section 1 You will hear a man inquiring in a tourist's centre about activities suitable for families.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
3
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
4
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
5
Hi, can I help you?
6
I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
7
Sure.
8
How about taking your family for a cruise?
9
We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day.
10
It's over a hundred years old.
11
The cruise takes place on a steamship.
12
So steamship has been written in the space.
13
Now we shall begin.
14
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
15
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
16
Hi, can I help you?
17
I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
18
Sure.
19
How about taking your family for a cruise?
20
We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day.
21
It's over a hundred years old.
22
That sounds interesting.
23
How long is the trip?
24
About an hour and a half.
25
And don't forget to take pictures of the mountains.
26
They're all around you when you're on the boat and they look fantastic.
27
OK.
28
And I assume there's a cafe or something on board?
29
Sure.
30
How old are your children?
31
My daughter's 15 and my son's 7.
32
Right.
33
Well, there are various things you can do once you've crossed the lake to make a day of it.
34
One thing that's very popular is a visit to the country farm.
35
You're met off the boat by the farmer and he'll take you to the holding pens where the sheep are kept.
36
Children love feeding them.
37
My son would love that.
38
He really likes animals.
39
Well, there's also a 40-minute trek round the farm on a horse if he wants.
40
Do you think he'd manage it?
41
He hasn't done that before.
42
Sure.
43
It's suitable for complete beginners.
44
Good.
45
And again, visitors are welcome to explore the farm on their own,
46
as long as they take care to close gates and so on.
47
There are some very beautiful gardens along the side of the lake which also belong to the farm.
48
They'll be just at their best now.
49
You could easily spend an hour or two there.
50
OK, well, that all sounds good.
51
And can we get lunch there?
52
You can, and it's very good,
53
though it's not included in the basic cost.
54
You pay when you get there.
55
Right.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
57
you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
58
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
59
So, is there anything else to do over on that side of the lake?
60
Well, what you can do is take a bike over on the ship and then go on a cycling trip.
61
There's a trail there called the Back Road.
62
You could easily spend three or four hours exploring it,
63
and the scenery's wonderful.
64
They'll give you a map when you get your ticket for the cruise.
65
There's no extra charge.
66
What's the trail like in terms of difficulty?
67
Quite challenging in places.
68
It wouldn't be suitable for your seven-year-old.
69
It needs someone who's got a bit more experience.
70
Hmm.
71
Well, my daughter loves cycling,
72
and so do I, so maybe the two of us could go,
73
and my wife and son could stay on the farm.
74
That might work out quite well.
75
But we don't have bikes here.
76
Is there somewhere we could rent them?
77
Yes.
78
There's a place here in the city.
79
It's called Ratchesons.
80
I'll just make a note of that.
81
How do you spell it?
82
R-A-T-C-H-E-S-O-N-S.
83
It's just by the cruise ship terminal.
84
OK.
85
You'd also need to pick up a repair kit for the bike from there to take along with you,
86
and you'd need to take along a snack and some water.
87
It'd be best to get those in the city.
88
Fine.
89
That shouldn't be a problem.
90
And I assume I can rent a helmet from the bike place.
91
Sure.
92
You should definitely get that.
93
It's a great ride, but you want to be well prepared
94
because it's very remote you won't see any shops around there
95
or anywhere to stay so you need to get back in time for the last boat yeah
96
so what sort of prices are we looking at here let's see that'd be one adult
97
and one child for the cruise with farm tour that's 117 dollars
98
and an adult and a child for the cruise only
99
so that's 214 dollars all together oh wait a minute how old did you say your daughter was?
100
Fifteen.
101
Then I'm afraid it's two hundred and sixty-seven dollars,
102
because she has to pay the adult fare,
103
which is seventy-five dollars, instead of the child fare, which is twenty-two dollars.
104
Sorry about that.
105
That's okay.
106
So how do we find out...
107
That is the end of Section 1.
108
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
109
Thank you.

अभ्यास टिप्स

इस वीडियो में दी गई बातचीत को सुनते समय, यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि आप shadow speak तकनीक का उपयोग करें। आप वार्तालाप को ध्यान से सुनें और उसके बाद उसे दोहराएं। यह अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार करने का एक बेहतरीन तरीका है। वार्तालाप की गति को समझने के लिए, पहले सुनें और उसके बाद अपने स्वर में बोलने का प्रयास करें। नोट करें कि वार्तालाप का टोन कैसा है - आत्मीय, उत्साही या संकोच भरा? यह आपकी अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग को अधिक प्रभावी बनाएगा।

एक बार जब आप वार्तालाप को समझ लें, तो आप इसे कई बार दोहरा सकते हैं, जिससे आप न केवल सुने गए शब्दों को बेहतर ढंग से याद रख सकेंगे, बल्कि अपनी त्वरित सोचने की क्षमता और अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास भी कर सकेंगे। शुरू में, छोटी-छोटी पंक्तियों से शुरू करें और धीरे-धीरे पूरे वाक्य को दोहराने का प्रयास करें।

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।
