1
Section 3.
2
You will hear a student called John talking to a professor about a design competition he is entering.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
6
Um, hello, Professor.
7
I'm John Wishart.
8
I'm working on my entry for the Global Design Competition.
9
My tutor said you might be able to help me with it.
10
Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings.
11
Come in and tell me about it.
12
What sort of competition is it?
13
Well, it's an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance.
14
I see.
15
And are there any special conditions?
16
Does it have to save energy, for example?
17
Actually, that was the focus in last year's competition.
18
This year's different.
19
We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn't been thought of before.
20
I see.
21
That sounds tricky.
22
And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?
23
Well, I decided to choose the dishwasher.
24
Interesting.
25
What made you choose that?
26
Well, they're an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses, but they're all pretty boring and almost identical to each other.
27
I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different.
28
That's a nice idea.
29
I see you've called your design the rock pool.
30
Why is that?
31
Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach.
32
The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it.
33
And there's a stone at the bottom.
34
Is that just for decoration?
35
Actually, it does have a function.
36
Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.
37
So it's really just another way of starting the dishwasher?
38
That's right.
39
It's a really nice design.
40
But what makes it innovative?
41
Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.
42
In place of water and detergent?
43
How will you manage that?
44
The idea is to pressurise the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid.
45
The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.
46
Sounds like a brilliant idea.
47
Your system will totally do away with the need for strong detergents.
48
So what happens once the dishes are clean?
49
Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber.
50
That's where the liquid is depressurised and so it reverts to a gas.
51
Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system.
52
It sounds like you've thought it all out very thoroughly.
53
So what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete?
54
Not wasted, I hope.
55
Actually, that's where the real savings are made.
56
The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again.
57
What a terrific idea!
58
Do you think it will ever be built?
59
Probably not, but that's OK.
60
Well, I'm sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.
61
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26-30.
62
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
63
Now you seem to have thought about everything, so what exactly did you need me to help you with?
64
Well, my design has made it to the final stage of the competition, and in a few months' time I have to give a presentation,
65
and that's the part I was hoping you could help me with.
66
Right, well that should be easy enough.
67
What have you managed to do so far?
68
Well, I've got detailed drawings to show how it will work, and I've also written a 500-word paper on it.
69
I see.
70
Well, if you want to stand a good chance of winning, you really need a model of the machine.
71
Yes, I thought I might, but I'm having a few problems.
72
What's the main difficulty so far?
73
Ah, let me guess, is it the materials?
74
Yes.
75
I want it to look professional, but everything that's top quality is also very expensive.
76
Look, projects like this are very important to us.
77
They really help lift our profile.
78
So why don't you talk to the university about a grant?
79
I can help you fill out the application forms if you like.
80
That would be great.
81
You'd better show me this paper you've written as well.
82
For a global competition such as this, you need to make sure the technical details you've given are accurate and thorough.
83
That would be a great help.
84
Is there anything else I can do?
85
Well, I'm really nervous.
86
That is the end of section three.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Questo video è una risorsa eccellente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese, soprattutto per chi si prepara a esami come l'IELTS. La conversazione tra John e il professore simula un contesto accademico reale, con discussioni su progetti innovativi e domande specifiche sulle scelte progettuali. Attraverso lo shadow speech (ripetizione immediata del discorso), puoi migliorare la fluidità, l'intonazione e la capacità di capire parlato spontaneo. Inoltre, affronta argomenti tecnici e lessico specifico, utili per ampliare il tuo vocabolario in contesti professionali o accademici.
Grammatica e espressioni in contesto
Analizziamo alcune strutture chiave presenti nel dialogo:
- "I decided to choose the dishwasher": L'uso di "decided to + verbo" è fondamentale per esprimere scelte consapevoli. In italiano, corrisponde a "ho deciso di + verbo", ma nella pronuncia inglese, la "d" di "decided" è spesso debole, quindi è importante ascoltarla attentamente.
- "It does have a function": L'uso di "does" per enfatizzare una affermazione. Qui, John sottolinea che la pietra non è solo decorativa. In italiano, si traduce con "ha davvero una funzione", ma la pronuncia dell'enfasi su "does" è cruciale per trasmettere la stessa intensità.
- "The fluid is then released into the dishwasher": Passivo inglese, spesso usato in contesti tecnici. La struttura "verbo al passato participio + by" (anche se qui "by" è omesso) è essenziale per descrivere processi. In questo caso, "il fluido viene poi rilasciato nella lavastoviglie".
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcuni vocaboli possono creare difficoltà per gli apprendisti. Ecco i più comuni:
- "Dishwasher": La pronuncia corretta è /ˈdɪʃwɒʃə(r)/, ma spesso gli italiani tendono a pronunciare la "sh" come "s" o a sbagliare l'accento sulla prima sillaba. Attenzione a non dire "dishwàsher" ma "dìshwasher".
- "Pressurise": La "s" finale è sorda, quindi si pronuncia /ˈpreʃəraɪz/, non /ˈpreʃəriz/. In italiano, "pressurizzare", ma la differenza nella pronuncia della "s" è fondamentale per essere capiti.
- "Reverts": La "er" finale è pronunciata come /ə(r)/, quindi /rɪˈvɜːts/, non /rɪˈvɜːrts/. Molti apprendisti aggiungono una "r" extra, ma in inglese britannico, questa è spesso debole.
Usando questo video per la migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la pratica dello shadowing, puoi rafforzare le tue abilità linguistiche in modo concreto. Ricorda: l'impegno giornaliero è la chiave per il successo! Shadowspeaks è un metodo efficace, e con video come questo, imparare l'inglese con YouTube diventa semplice e divertente.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | hasn't been thought · you've called · you've thought |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | been thought · is made · is then released |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
