Part 2
2
You will hear a woman called Alice Riches talking on the radio about a scheme
3
which involves closing streets to traffic to allow children to play.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
5
Thank you.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
7
My guest on the show today is Alice Riches, who started the street play scheme where she lives in Beechwood Road.
8
For those of you that don't already know, street play involves local residents closing off their street for a few hours
9
so that children have a chance to play in the streets safely.
10
She started it in her own street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on.
11
And there are now street play schemes all over the city.
12
So when did you actually start the scheme, Alice?
13
Well, I first had the idea when my oldest child was still a toddler.
14
So that's about six years ago now
15
But it took at least two years of campaigning before we were actually able to make it happen
16
So the scheme's been up
17
and running for three years now We'd love to be able
18
to close our road for longer For the whole weekend from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example At the moment,
19
it's just once a week But when we started, it was only once a month But we're working on it So what actually happens when Beachwood Road is closed?
20
We have volunteer wardens, mostly parents, but some elderly residents too, who block off our road at either end.
21
The council have provided special signs, but there's always a volunteer there to explain what's happening to any motorists.
22
Generally, they're fine about it.
23
We've only had to get the police involved once or twice.
24
Now, I should explain that the road isn't completely closed to cars, but only residents' cars are allowed.
25
If people really need to get in or out of Beechwood Road, it's not a problem as long as they drive at under 20 kilometres per hour.
26
But most people just decide not to use their cars during this time, or they park in another street.
27
The wardens are only there to stop through traffic.
28
So, can anyone apply to get involved in street play?
29
Absolutely.
30
We want to include all kids in the city, especially those who live on busy roads.
31
It's here that demand is greatest.
32
Obviously, there isn't such demand in wealthier areas where the children have access to parks or large gardens,
33
or in the suburbs where there are usually more places for children to play outside.
34
I'd recommend that anyone listening who likes the idea should just give it a go.
35
We've been surprised by the positive reaction of residents all over the city, and that's not just parents.
36
There are always a few who complain, but they're a tiny minority.
37
On the whole, everyone is very supportive and say they're very happy to see children out on the street, even if it does get quite noisy.
38
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
39
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
40
there have been so many benefits of street play for the kids parents really like the fact
41
that the kids are getting fresh air instead of sitting staring at a computer screen even
42
if they're not doing anything particularly energetic And of course, it's great that kids can play with their friends outside without being supervised by their parents.
43
But for me, the biggest advantage is that kids develop confidence in themselves to be outside without their parents.
44
The other really fantastic thing is that children get to know the adults in the street.
45
It's like having a big extended family.
46
It certainly does have a lot of benefits.
47
I want to move on now and ask you about a related project in King Street Right,
48
well this was an experiment I was involved in where local residents decided to try
49
and reduce the traffic along King Street
50
which is the busiest main road in our area by persuading people not to use their cars for one day
51
We thought about making people pay more for parking but we decided
52
that would be really unpopular so instead we just stopped people from parking on King Street
53
but left the other car parks open.
54
It was surprising how much of a difference all this made.
55
As we'd predicted, air quality was significantly better
56
but what I hadn't expected was how much quieter it would be even with the buses still running.
57
Of course, everyone said they felt safer but we were actually amazed that sales in the shops went up considerably that day.
58
We thought there'd be fewer people out shopping, not more.
59
That's really interesting.
60
So the fact that the street was...
61
That is the end of part two.
62
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

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.
