Section 2.
2
You will hear a representative of a city council giving information about two new facilities which are opening soon in the city.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to fourteen.
5
Good morning.
6
I am very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the city.
7
the Brackenside Open Air Swimming Pool and the Children's Adventure Playground in Central Park.
8
As many of you may know, the idea for these initiatives came from you, the public, in the extensive consultation exercise which the City Council conducted last year,
9
and they have been realised using money from the SWRDC, the South West Regional Development Commission.
10
First of all, Brackenside Pool.
11
As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the seafront thirty years ago,
12
but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe.
13
For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally renowned architect Ellen Wendon,
14
who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area,
15
with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system, the only one of its kind in the world, which enables seawater to be used in the pool.
16
Now, there's been quite a bit of discussion in the local
17
press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we're hoping to attract, but the design is deceptive, and there have been rigorous checks about capacity.
18
Also, just in case you were wondering, we're on schedule for a June 15th opening date, and well within budget.
19
A testimony to the excellent work of local contractors, Hickmans.
20
We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th.
21
We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open, and there'll be drinks and snacks available at the poolside.
22
There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance.
23
You will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.
24
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
25
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
26
And now, moving on to the Central Park Playground, which we're pleased to announce has just won the Douglas Award for Safety.
27
The news came through only last week.
28
The unique design is based on the concept of the Global Village, with the playground being divided into six areas showing different parts of the world,
29
each with a representative feature.
30
For example, there is a section on Asia, and this is represented by rides and equipment in the shape of snakes, orangutans, tigers and so on,
31
fauna native to the forests of the region.
32
Moving south to the Antarctic, we couldn't run to an ice rink, I'm afraid, but opted instead for climbing blocks in the shape of mountains.
33
I thought they could have had slides for the glaciers, but the designers did want to avoid being too literal.
34
Then on to South America, and here the theme is El Dorado, games replicating the search for mines full of precious stones.
35
And then moving up to North America, here there was considerable debate.
36
I know the contribution of cinema and jazz was considered, but the designers finally opted for rockets and the International Space Station.
37
Eastwards to Europe then, and perhaps the most traditional choice of all the areas, medieval castles and other fortifications.
38
Then last but not least, moving south to Africa, had a whole set of wonderful mosaics
39
and trails to represent the great rivers of this fascinating and varied continent.
40
Now, the opening date for our global playground is the 10th of July, and again, we'd love to see you there.
41
So, make a date and come and see this magnificent, original new amenity, right in the heart of the city.
42
That is the end of section two.
43
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
44
Now turn to section 3.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo video

Questo clip è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency e sulla capacità di seguire un discorso informativo a velocità naturale. Ideal per chi vuole migliorare la comprensione auditiva e la replica accurata, esso si concentra su come presentare progetti pubblici con chiarezza, un obiettivo chiave per esami come l'IELTS o per situazioni reali di comunicazione professionale. Grazie al linguaggio diretto e strutturato, è un ottimo strumento per esercitare il shadow speak, una tecnica che consiste nel ripetere immediatamente le frasi sentite per migliorare intonazione e ritmica.

Banca di frasi riutilizzabili

  • "E' un piacere avere l'opportunità di parlare di..." – Per aprire un discorso informativo.
  • "L'idea è nata dal pubblico, grazie a un esercizio di consultazione esteso" – Per spiegare l'origine di un progetto.
  • "Combina un design accattivante con funzionalità all'avanguardia" – Per descrivere un prodotto o un servizio innovativo.
  • "Siamo in programma per l'apertura il 15 giugno, e entriamo nel budget" – Per comunicare tempi e costi in modo chiaro.
  • "Last but not least" – Espressione utile per concludere un elenco senza sembrare ripetitivo.

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli

Il video aiuta a lavorare sulla pronuncia di numeri e date (es. "15 giugno", "10 luglio") e sulla gestione dei periodi lunghi con pause naturali. Molte frasi hanno una struttura complessa ma logica, quindi il shadowing in inglese qui è fondamentale per apprendere a organizzare le idee oralmente. Attenzione anche alle parole con accento lessicale, come "renowned" o "rigorous", che spesso vengono pronunciate male. Pratica a ripetere le frasi subito dopo il speaker, cercando di imitare la sua intonazione e il suo tono: questo ti aiuterà a rendere il tuo parlato più fluido e naturale, un passo cruciale per la pratica di conversazione in inglese.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessohave been realised · has managed · have been
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fahave been realised · was judged · is based

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.
