Part 1
2
That's often true.
3
With our company, you can be insured for different amounts.
4
For instance, in Section 1,
5
Baggage and Personal Effects, you can be insured for all five subsections or for as few as two.
6
I think I'd like insurance for all five since I'm going to some unsafe places.
7
Wise decision.
8
By the way, can a camera be counted as a single item
9
or must it be included in cameras and portable electronic equipment
10
if you have an expensive camera you can nominate it as
11
a single item our maximum payout is fifteen hundred dollars occasionally people have their camera
12
and computer stolen together
13
if insurance is only taken out on subsection 2 this may
14
not cover the replacement of both things that's what happened with my previous policy however in
15
that one there was a higher limit for lost
16
or stolen money yours is only 700 these days with credit cards people don't carry much cash
17
so we've set the limit accordingly still we pay out well
18
for documents indeed in the disrupted travel section reasonable costs is written for a missed connection
19
or an early return instead of an amount of money.
20
What exactly are reasonable costs?
21
Put it this way.
22
If you miss your flight due to poor weather that is verifiable,
23
we pay $300 per day of lost time.
24
If you arrive at check-in as the aircraft is leaving because you overslept,
25
we still pay out, but only $100 a day.
26
We rely on information from the airline to determine this.
27
Are you also interested in vehicle insurance?
28
Yes, I am.
29
I'm about to buy a nice old car, a vintage Jaguar XJ6.
30
Hey, I used to have one of those,
31
although nowadays I prefer old motorbikes.
32
Did you know you can insure a vehicle on its own,
33
or you can include it in our multi-saver policy,
34
along with your house and contents?
35
Yes, I saw that.
36
It's true I'm buying an expensive car,
37
but I rent my house,
38
so I'm not ready for multisaver.
39
I understand.
40
Have you decided which level of cover you'd like for your car?
41
Top cover.
42
Are you sure?
43
It is pricey.
44
I know.
45
But last time I had insurance,
46
I wasn't covered for storm damage.
47
Don't tell me that was just before the November hailstorm.
48
Uh-huh.
49
So, I need storm damage insurance.
50
Also, I'd like my policy to start as soon as I've paid for it.
51
With my old one, there was a stand-down period of two weeks.
52
Would you believe I backed into a wall just three days after I'd taken out the policy?
53
Oh, dear.
54
Then, I spent months fighting with the insurance company over the value of my car.
55
I know it wasn't worth much,
56
but it was relatively new.
57
If you choose top cover,
58
we agree on a value for your car and renegotiate each year to avoid disputes.
59
Again, it's not as cheap as some,
60
but the policy works out better in the long run.
61
Part 2 Hello everyone, thanks for attending tonight's event.
62
Let me start with the early history of our charity, iSaver.
63
iSaver was founded by retired optometrist Timothy Gaines.
64
I have spent much of my working life at EyeSaver.
65
I am 60 years old now and I started working for this organization 15 years ago,
66
when I left a corporate position to help people with eye problems.
67
Now our charity has been helping people for three decades.
68
You may know that we are now doing various other things to help people with eye problems.
69
That includes medications for children with eye diseases and operational help to those in the public who have eye problems.
70
But when Mr. Gaines just founded EyeSaver,
71
he wanted the program to be able to offer common eye equipment to those who needed it.
72
receive occasional donations from corporations and charity groups.
73
Now we have over 1,500 volunteers who work on the streets with the little red donation boxes
74
which many of you are familiar with.
75
And this is the main source of funding for us.
76
Besides, we are planning to work to secure donations from wealthy benefactors.
77
Many people are passionate about Charity Cause and have been inquiring how to donate money to us.
78
I really appreciate that.
79
But our main need is to collect glasses for our patients.
80
Many of you have multiple pairs of old glasses in your possession
81
and we encourage you to gather these pairs which you no longer need and donate them to our cause.
82
In doing this, you'll be able to make sure that someone else can see better.
83
Most of us cannot imagine a life in which we are unable to see well.
84
This is why your eyeglass donations are so critical to our mission.
85
And, as a side note, we offer full-time positions.
86
Let me know if you are interested.
87
Our goal is to make people aware that even the smallest of donations can help change a person's life.
88
So, your donation can be a turning point for them.
89
The other day, when I was talking to some people on the street,
90
they were surprised to find out how easily some eye problems can be cured.
91
And I am proud to say that our next program will aim at educating people about common eye diseases.
92
We are able to prevent many fatal eye problems.
93
In order to publicize our charity program,
94
we surely need to do some advertising.
95
When we first started our program,
96
we used computers to create awareness for our cause.
97
For instance, promoting seminars in which we informed people as to how they could help us to solve eye problems.
98
But in recent years, the main means of advertising our program is through audio recordings.
99
We have found it cost efficient and effective.
100
It's good to know that many of our staff are recommending our program to their friends and colleagues.
101
But I am afraid that our training cannot show people the whole picture of our program.
102
Finally, I would like to tell you about some organizations which have played important roles in the development and success of iSaver.
103
Our affiliation with the National Vision Funding Group has allowed us to gain fame and to become even more significant.
104
So many people around the country are coming for our services.
105
Our association with the Eye for the Future organization has allowed us to run cooperative ads by
106
which we seek producers of equipment to work with us.
107
Meanwhile, some of our staff has been sent to this organization for some special training.
108
Their skills should be improved very soon.
109
Also, we have had a long time cooperation with SAM's EyeCare Institution.
110
Our relationship with it has given us the opportunity to link with many different academic institutions,
111
including colleges and universities with good reputation.
112
And we have a similar friendship with a group called Youth Health.
113
Our connection with that group allows us to link directly with young kids since this is a crucial stage in their growth.
114
We plan to contact with some colleges and hope that with their help,
115
more college students could get to know our program.
116
Also, as you can see,
117
we have all bases covered in linking with students,
118
as we have affiliations directly with both administrators and the students themselves.
119
Thank you so much for your attention today.
120
As we try to stamp out eye problems,
121
we will appreciate your donations,
122
no matter how large or how small.
123
Part 3 Come in, Rangi.
124
Thank you, Professor Anderson.
125
I've been meaning to contact you,
126
but I just got back last night.
127
Where have you been?
128
Conferences in Massachusetts and New York.
129
For physics?
130
Yes.
131
Great.
132
I'm looking forward to attending conferences one day.
133
I imagine that won't be so far away.
134
I was extremely impressed with your classical mechanics exam.
135
In fact, you were one of only two students out of 180 to get an A+.
136
Wow, I really did enjoy the course.
137
So how can I help you?
138
I'm sorry to say it's a bit of a long story.
139
You see, I've had to rethink my studies completely,
140
and I wonder if I'm making the right decision.
141
You're doing two degrees, aren't you?
142
Science and Arts.
143
I was doing two.
144
I've decided to focus on science.
145
Oh?
146
It all came about because I wanted to study abroad for a year.
147
I was thinking about Edinburgh.
148
Firstly, I sought approval from the maths and physics departments.
149
I wanted to take quantum mechanics and computer simulations at Edinburgh.
150
Those are third-year courses, right?
151
Yeah.
152
So I received approval from maths and physics.
153
The stumbling block was the higher authority, the science faculty.
154
When I submitted my application, it was rejected.
155
What?
156
It turns out that students who study abroad for a year can only do first
157
or second year courses or third year courses in a subject that's not their major.
158
I've never heard that before.
159
Needless to say, the lecturers who approved my transfer hadn't either,
160
and nor does the regulation appear on the science faculty website.
161
That'd be right.
162
This faculty is disorganised.
163
So, then I thought I'd take arts courses at Edinburgh and leave the third year maths until I came back.
164
I quickly got approval for second year history and philosophy from the arts faculty.
165
When are you heading off?
166
That's just it.
167
During this process, I began to think carefully about my studies.
168
To be honest, the arts courses I've done were less challenging than the science ones,
169
so I've decided to drop arts.
170
Where do I figure in all this?
171
The first week after I'd made my decision, I felt fine.
172
Without doing the arts courses,
173
I could finish my science degree earlier.
174
But this week, I've had some doubts.
175
When I started the two degrees,
176
lecturers in the science faculty assured me that these days scientists need a rounded education.
177
which they get if they take some arts courses.
178
I was even told I'd learn to write and think better if I did philosophy.
179
I do think the claims made by some lecturers are dubious.
180
Then there's the fact that now I'm going to be stuck here next year.
181
I was so excited about going to Europe.
182
It is disappointing to give that up.
183
Still, the reason I wanted to contact you,
184
Rangie, is that I'm looking for students to work six hours a week in my lab.
185
It's paid work, not highly paid,
186
but probably better than working in a bar.
187
Also, we've just bought a new laser,
188
which you'd learn to use.
189
That sounds excellent.
190
As to going abroad, why not do your postgraduate studies in the US?
191
There's some amazing physics being done in Massachusetts.
192
If you like, I can send you the papers from the conference.
193
Thanks.
194
Of course, I'd be sad to lose you if you did go abroad,
195
but an A-plus student like you has a very good chance of winning a major scholarship.
196
Goodness, I've never even considered that.
197
Personally, I think committing yourself to science is the way to go.
198
Thanks, Professor Anderson.
199
You've taken a load off my mind.
200
Now I don't have to deal with Hegel or Leibniz.
201
I've plenty of time to read those conference papers.
202
Welcome, students, to the daily talk on the fossils found here at Green Mountain Fossil Park.
203
First, I will tell you a little about the history of our park.
204
The park is designed to educate you on what the environment was like in this area around 5 million years ago,
205
when most of the area was at sea level and near water bodies such as lakes and seas.
206
These bodies of water provided moisture and significant plant and animal variety,
207
which has resulted in the fantastic collection of fossils which you will see today.
208
The fossils here were discovered by mine workers during the 1960s,
209
and the park itself was open to tourists and students back in 1985.
210
We have three types of fossils here in the park.
211
The first are transitional fossils.
212
These are rare fossils that appear to exhibit traits of the animal's evolutionary ancestors and its descendants,
213
such as an animal showing both dinosaur and bird-like features.
214
Next, we have preserved fossils,
215
which are more common fossilised remains.
216
These are fossils in which the structure of an animal or plant remains intact,
217
and you can clearly see something like a plant or a fish.
218
Thirdly, we have fossils which indirectly show the activities of animals,
219
such as their tracks and burrows,
220
and we refer to these as trace fossils.
221
You may wonder how fossils are formed.
222
Well, many people think it happens when organisms are caught in a volcanic eruption and are trapped in ash.
223
But in reality, these formations are rare.
224
The most common way a fossil is formed is through petrifaction.
225
An animal dies and becomes buried under mud or silt.
226
Over time, the mud hardens around the bones of the animal.
227
Eventually, the bones also decay and are replaced by minerals,
228
which form the shape of the fossil in stone.
229
You will see many of this kind of fossil today.
230
After you finish today's tour,
231
you may wish to take home a souvenir.
232
We encourage you to do so.
233
There is a shop outside the park,
234
but you can also make purchases from our exhibitions.
235
The money raised helps to fund our work of preserving this wonderful site.
236
Of course, you can also buy fossils and take them home.
237
Please don't think that all fossils are expensive to buy.
238
The majority are small and affordable samples that are as wonderful as the larger ones.
239
Don't forget to check them out.
240
As you can see, you all have some worksheets to go through here today.
241
These will help you to learn as much as you can from your visit.
242
There are also some tools you will find as you go around the site.
243
For example, there are tape measures available beside each fossil,
244
so that you can note the dimensions of each fossil.
245
This can help us to identify different species.
246
We also encourage you to use your specially designed notebook to record as many different types of rocks as you can.
247
Geology forms an important part of the study of fossils,
248
and so we want you to focus on the types.
249
If you brought a camera along with you today,
250
don't hesitate to use it as the images of the fossils will be worth reviewing later.
251
You may wish to experiment with the settings to see what they are like.
252
Here in the information centre you can pick up an information sheet which contains some useful tips on how to do that.
253
Last of all, you can practice using a compass.
254
Even though you cannot locate the fossils themselves using the compass,
255
it will help you find the sediments which are the key to the location of the fossils.
256
These are very soft so to protect the delicate fossils,
257
trowels and plastic covers are needed.
258
You will find these throughout the site, please use them.
259
Please feel free to ask any of our staff as you tour around and enjoy your day.
260
We hope you leave us today with a greater passion to study fossils further.
261
Thank you.

このビデオでスピーキングの練習をする理由
「IELTS ASMR Podcast #07 - Luyện nghe thụ động | Phụ đề Anh & Việt」では、実際の会話が自然に例示されており、英語を学びながらスピーキング能力を向上させるための優れた素材です。このビデオでは、保険に関する具体的な話題が取り上げられており、日常生活に関連した内容が含まれています。英語を学ぶ際に実践的な文脈でのコミュニケーションを練習することで、リスニングと発音を向上させることができます。また、実際の会話の流れを聞き取ることで、shadow speakの技術を身につけられます。YouTubeで英語学習を進めている方にとって、このビデオは非常に有益です。
文法と表現の文脈における分析
- 条件文: 「If you miss your flight due to poor weather that is verifiable, we pay $300 per day of lost time.」この文では、条件文を使用して予測を示す方法が示されています。英語では、条件文を使うことで、状況に応じた反応を容易に伝えることができます。
- 名詞句の使用: 「a vintage Jaguar XJ6」などのフレーズは具体的な名詞を用いており、相手に対して明確なイメージを与えるのに役立ちます。特定の名詞を使うことで、会話がより具体的かつ理解しやすくなります。
- 過去形: 「I wasn't covered for storm damage.」この過去形の使用は、過去の経験について話す方法を提供し、より自然で流暢な会話に繋がります。
- 提案の表現: 「Have you decided which level of cover you'd like for your car?」相手に選択を促すこの表現は、会話を進めるための効果的なテクニックです。
発音の難しいポイント
このビデオでは、いくつかの発音上のトラップが存在します。例えば、「insurance」と「camera」は発音が難しく、特に文中では発音が自然に速くなるため、注意が必要です。また、英語の発音を良くするためには、リズムとイントネーションをしっかりと意識しながら練習することが重要です。特に、非ネイティブの話者には、これらのワードの発音が難しい場合があります。元の音声を繰り返し聴くことで、shadow speechの技術を活かし、正確な発音を習得していきましょう。
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。
