Section 2
2
You will hear a woman who works in a theatre talking to two new staff members on their first day of work.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
5
Hi, great to see you.
6
I'm Jodie, and I'll be looking after both of you for the first month you're working here at the Amersham Theatre.
7
I'll tell you something about the theatre now, then take you to meet two of the other staff.
8
It's an old building, and it's been modernised several times.
9
In fact, as you can see, we're carrying out a major refurbishment at the moment.
10
The interior has just been repainted, and we're about to start on the exterior of the building.
11
That'll be a big job.
12
The work's running over budget, so we've had to postpone installing an elevator.
13
I hope you're happy running up and down stairs.
14
When the theatre was built, people were generally slimmer and shorter than now, and the seats were very close together.
15
We've replaced them with larger seats, with more legroom.
16
This means fewer seats in total, but we've taken the opportunity to install seats that can easily be moved to create different acting spaces.
17
We've also turned a few storerooms over to other purposes, like using them for meetings.
18
We try hard to involve members of the public in the theatre.
19
One way is by organising backstage tours, so people can be shown round the building and learn how a theatre operates.
20
These are proving very popular.
21
What we're finding is that people want to have lunch or a cup of coffee while they're here,
22
so we're looking into the possibility of opening a cafe in due course.
23
We have a bookshop which specialises in books about drama, and that attracts plenty of customers.
24
Then there are two large rooms that will be decorated next month, and they'll be available for hire, for conferences and private functions, such as parties.
25
We're also considering hiring out costumes to amateur drama clubs.
26
Now I want to tell you about our workshops.
27
We recently started a programme of workshops that anyone can join.
28
eventually we intend to run courses in acting
29
but we're waiting until we've got the right people in place as trainers
30
that's proving more difficult than we'd expected
31
there's a big demand to learn about the technical side of putting on a production
32
and our lighting workshop has already started with great success
33
we're going to start one on sound next month a number of people have inquired about workshops on makeup
34
and that's something we're considering for the future a surprise success is the workshop on making puppets
35
we happen to have someone working here who does it as a hobby
36
and she offered to run a workshop it was so popular we're now running them every month
37
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
38
Now, a word about the layout of the building.
39
The auditorium, stage and dressing rooms for the actors are all below ground level.
40
Here on the ground floor, we have most of the rooms that the public doesn't see.
41
The majority are internal, so they have windows in the roof to light them.
42
Standing here in the foyer, you're probably wondering why the box office isn't here, where the public would expect to find it.
43
Well, you might have noticed it on your way in.
44
Although it's part of this building, it's next door, with a separate entrance from the road.
45
For the theatre manager's office, you go across the foyer and through the double doors.
46
Turn right, and it's the room at the end of the corridor, with the door on the left.
47
The lighting box is where the computerised stage lighting is operated, and it's at the back of the building.
48
When you're through the double doors, turn left, turn right at the water cooler, and right again at the end.
49
It's the second room along that corridor.
50
The lighting box has a window into the auditorium, which of course is below us.
51
The Artistic Director's Office is through the double doors, turn right, and it's the first room you come to on the right -hand side.
52
And finally, for the moment, the room where I'll take you next, the relaxation room.
53
So if you'd like to come with me...
54
That is the end of Section 2.
55
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
56
Now turn to section 3.

受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるbeen modernised · been repainted · was built

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
