1
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 11 to 13.
2
For the second in our series about locally run businesses,
3
we meet Simon Winridge, Co -founder of the hugely successful Winridge Forest Railway Park, Welcome, Simon.
4
Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started.
5
Well, during the 1970s, my wife Liz and I had just acquired 80 acres of sheep farming land,
6
and we decided to settle down and have children.
7
Pretty soon we had a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Duncan.
8
The place was wonderful for the kids.
9
They particularly loved trains and gradually built up an enormous network of miniature railway track.
10
I began to develop larger scale models of locomotives, but we didn't think anything more of it until I went on a trip to a theme park near Birmingham
11
and decided we could do a much better job.
12
So we set up a small one ourselves, based on the miniature railway, and we opened to the public for just a month that year,
13
1984, in July, our driest month, because our children said they didn't want our guests to have a miserable wet visit.
14
dealt with park business and Liz carried on with the farm work.
15
It soon became clear that we were onto a winner.
16
We began to extend the railway track and lay it among more interesting landscape by planting trees,
17
which in turn attracted more wildlife and by making cuttings through the rock.
18
Nowadays, we're open all year round, and we're pleased to say that Wim Ridge is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the area,
19
with 50 ,000 visitors a year.
20
A million and a half people have been through our doors since we opened.
21
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
22
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
23
All these visitors mean we have had to expand our operation, and it's now a truly family concern.
24
I'm near to retirement age, so I only concern myself with looking after the mechanical side of things, keeping the trains going.
25
Liz now devotes all her energies to recruiting and supporting the large squadron of workers, which keep the place running smoothly.
26
We're really pleased that, after some years away teaching, Sarah has now returned to the park, and makes sure the visitors are kept fed and watered,
27
which keeps her pretty busy, as you can imagine.
28
Our son Duncan has been a stalwart of the park for the last ten years, taking over from me and the area of construction,
29
and I'll say a little bit more about that in a moment.
30
And his new wife, Judith has also joined the team in charge of retail.
31
That's becoming a tremendous growth area for us.
32
A lot of people want to buy souvenirs.
33
So, have you finished your development of the site for the moment?
34
Not at all.
35
We're constantly looking for ways to offer more to our visitors.
36
The railway remains the central feature, and there's now 1 .2 kilometres of the line laid, but we'd like to lay more.
37
Because of the geology of the area,
38
our greatest problem is digging We're also very pleased with a new installation of the go -kart arena,
39
which is 120 square meters in area.
40
Again, the problem is the geology.
41
We had to level the mounds on the track for safety
42
reasons we wanted to enable 5 to 12 year olds to use the go -karts
43
And the main attraction here is the Formula One cart, We've known fights to break out over who gets it.
44
And then finally to our most recent development, which is the landscape swimming...
45
That is the end of section two.
46
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
47
Thank you.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.
50
Thank you.

Per chi è questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per gli studenti di inglese che si preparano all' IELTS Listening o vogliono migliorare la comprensione auditiva e la pronuncia. Ideale per livelli intermedi e avanzati, offre un contesto reale con un dialogo fluido, utile per esercitarsi nel shadowing e nella comprensione di accenti britannici. Se vuoi imparare l'inglese con YouTube in modo pratico, questo contenuto è una risorsa preziosa.

Parole e modi di dire da rubare

  • Onto a winner: Espressione informale che significa "avere un'idea vincente". Esempio: "Dopo il successo del primo mese, capimmo di essere onto a winner".
  • Stalwart: Persona affidabile e costante. Esempio: "Mio figlio è stato un stalwart del parco per dieci anni".
  • Recruiting and supporting the large squadron of workers: "Recruitare e supportare un gran numero di lavoratori". L'espressione "squadron" (squadra) aggiunge un tocco vivid ologico.

Come migliorare la pronuncia: focus sugli accenti

Il speaker ha un accento britannico standard, con una pronuncia chiara ma con alcuni tratti da notare per il shadowing in inglese. Presta attenzione a:

  • La "t" soft: In parole come "water" o "little", la "t" è pronunciata come una "d" molle (flap T), tipica dell'inglese britannico.
  • L'intonazione nelle domande: Nelle domande aperte, l'intonazione sale alla fine, come in "Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started?".
  • Le connessioni tra le parole: Frasi come "we decided to settle down" sono pronunciate con un legame tra "decided to" ("decided tə") e "settle down" ("settle daun"), tipiche del parlato fluido.
Per esercitarti, usa un shadowing site o ripeti le frasi subito dopo il speaker, cercando di imitare il ritmo e l'accento. Questo metodo, chiamato shadowspeak, è efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese in modo naturale.

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.
