Part 2 You will hear a tour guide,
2
Lou Miller,
3
speaking to a group of people about a boat trip they are going to take around the Australian island of Tasmania.
4
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
6
So, hello everyone.
7
My name's Lou Miller, and I'm going to be your tour guide today,
8
as we take this fantastic boat trip around the Tasmanian coast.
9
Before we set off, I just want to tell you a few things about our journey.
10
Our boats aren't huge, as you can see.
11
We already have three staff members on board,
12
and on top of that,
13
we can transport a further fifteen people,
14
that's you, around the coastline.
15
But please note, if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat,
16
we'll move some of you over,
17
otherwise all eighteen of us will end up in the sea.
18
We've recently upgraded all our boats.
19
They used to be jet black,
20
but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats
21
and a light green exterior in order to stand out from others and help promote our company.
22
This gives our boats a rather unique appearance, don't you think?
23
We offer you a free lunchbox during the trip,
24
and we have three types.
25
Lunchbox one contains ham and tomato sandwiches.
26
Lunchbox two contains a cheddar cheese roll.
27
And lunchbox three is salad-based and also contains eggs and tuna.
28
All three lunchboxes also have a packet of crisps and chocolate bar inside.
29
let staff know
30
which lunch box you prefer i'm sure i don't have to
31
ask you not to throw anything into the sea we don't have any bins to put litter in
32
but jess myself or ray our other guide will collect it from you after lunch
33
and put it all in a large plastic sack before you hear the rest of the talk
34
You have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
35
Thank you.
36
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
37
The engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise,
38
so before we head off,
39
let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see.
40
This area is famous for its ancient lighthouse,
41
which you'll see from the boat as we turn past the first little island.
42
It was built in 1838 to protect sailors,
43
as a number of shipwrecks had led to significant loss of life.
44
The construction itself was complicated,
45
as some of the original drawings kept by the local council show.
46
It sits right on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot,
47
In the 19th century, there were many jobs there,
48
such as polishing the brass lamps,
49
chopping firewood, and cleaning windows that kept lighthouse keepers busy.
50
These workers were mainly prison convicts until the middle of that century,
51
when ordinary families willing to live in such circumstances took over.
52
Some of you have asked me what creatures we can expect to see.
53
I know everyone loves the penguins,
54
but they're very shy and unfortunately tend to hide from passing boats,
55
but you might see birds in the distance,
56
such as sea eagles, flying around the cliff edges where they nest.
57
When we get to the rocky area inhabited by first seals,
58
we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast.
59
They're inquisitive creatures, so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you.
60
Their predators, orca whales, hunt along the coastline too,
61
but spotting one of these is rare.
62
Dolphins, on the other hand,
63
can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us.
64
Lastly, I want to mention the caves.
65
Tasmania is famous for its caves,
66
and the ones we'll pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them.
67
They can only be approached by sea,
68
but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you,
69
then you can take a kayak into the area on another day,
70
and one of our staff will give you more information on that.
71
What we'll do is to go through a narrow channel,
72
past some incredible rock formations,
73
and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves,
74
and at that point we'll talk to you about what lies beyond.
75
That is the end of part two.
76
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part two.
77
Thank you.

Consigli per la Pratica

Per massimizzare l'efficacia della tua pratica, ti consigliamo di adottare tecniche di shadowing. Questo metodo consiste nel ripetere ciò che ascolti in tempo reale, seguendo il ritmo e l'intonazione del parlante. Shadowspeaks in particolare, come nell'audio di oggi, richiede attenzione al suono del motore della barca e alle pause strategiche. Nel segmento, Lou parla con un ritmo medio. Prova a ripetere frasi come "Our boats aren't huge" e "Please note, if there are more than nine people" subito dopo averle sentite. Questo non solo migliorerà la tua pronuncia ma anche la tua fluidità.

Inoltre, per una pratica di conversazione in inglese più efficace, cerca di annotare le nuove parole e utilizzale in frasi nei tuoi esercizi quotidiani. Utilizzando un shadowing site, puoi anche registrare la tua voce e confrontarla con quella del parlante originale, dubbio dopo dubbio, affinché tu possa notare i tuoi progressi nel tempo.

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.
