Excuse me?

Yes?

I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport?

It won't take long.

No, that's fine.

Lovely.

The survey is on behalf of the local council.

They'd like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvement.

Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?

Sure.

I came on the bus.

Great.

Now, can I get a few details about yourself?

OK.

What's your name?

It's Louisa.

Yes.

Hardy.

Can you spell that, please?

Yes, it's H-A-R-D-I-E.

Great, thanks.

And can I have your address?

It's 19 Whitestone Road.

Oh, right.

I know that area.

It's Bradfield, isn't it?

That's right.

Is the postcode GT7?

It's actually GT8 2LC.

Great.

And could I ask what your job is?

Are you a student?

I've actually just finished my training.

I'm a hairdresser.

Oh, right.

And one more question in this section.

What is the reason for you coming into town today?

Actually, it's not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.

Right.

Thanks.

Now, in this last section, I'd like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work.

Any suggestions you have for improvements?

Well, something I've thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I'm doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.

Yes, good point.

And of course, I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths should have more of those.

Then people would walk more.

Yes, right.

And I don't think there are enough trains.

That's why I don't use them.

You have to wait so long.

Thanks.

And finally, I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling.

As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.

Right.

But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.

Yeah.

Well, I have thought about it.

And where I work, there are no safe places to leave your bikes.

OK.

And also, I'd have to cycle uphill.

And on a hot day, I'd arrive at work pretty sweaty.

So I think I'd need a shower somewhere at work.

Right.

And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn't be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads.

I think I'd like to see you offering training for that.

You know, I'd feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.

Well, that's very helpful.

Thank you very much for your time.

No problem.

Bye.

Good morning.

I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the city.

The Brackenside Open Air Swimming Pool and the Children's Adventure Playground in Central Park.

As many of you may know, the idea for these initiatives came from you, the public, in the extensive consultation exercise which the City Council conducted last year,

and they have been realised using money from the SWRDC, the South West Regional Development Commission.

First of all, Brackenside Pool.

As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the seafront 30 years ago,

but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe safe.

For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally renowned architect Ellen Wendon,

who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design which fits in

so well with many of the other buildings in the area, with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system, the only one of its kind in the world,

which enables seawater to be used in the pool.

Now, there's been quite a bit of discussion in the local

press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we're hoping to attract, but the design is deceptive and there have been rigorous checks about capacity.

Also just in case you were wondering, we're on schedule for June 15th opening date and well within budget,

a testimony to the excellent work of local contractors, Hickmans.

We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th.

We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open, and there'll be drinks and snacks available at the poolside.

There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance.

You will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.

And now, moving on to the Central Park playground, which we're pleased to announce has just won the Douglas Award for Safety .

The unique design is based on the concept of the global village, with the playground being divided into six areas showing different parts of the world,

each with a representative feature.

For example, there is a section on Asia, and this is represented by rides and equipment in the shape of snakes, orangutans, tigers and so on,

fauna native to the forests of the region.

Moving south to the Antarctic, we couldn't run to an ice rink, I'm afraid, but opted instead for climbing blocks in the shape of mountains.

I thought they could have had slides for the glaciers, but the designers did want to avoid being too literal.

Then on to South America, and here the theme is El Dorado, games replicating the search for mines full of precious stones.

And then moving up to North America, here there was considerable debate.

100

I know the contribution of cinema and jazz was considered, but the designers finally opted for rockets and the International Space Station.

101

Eastwards to Europe then, and perhaps the most traditional choice of all the areas, medieval castles and other fortifications.

102

Then last but not least, moving south to Africa, had a whole set of wonderful mosaics

103

and trails to represent the great rivers of this fascinating and varied continent.

104

Now, the opening date for our global playground is the 10th of July.

105

And again, we'd love to see you there.

106

So, make a date and come and see this magnificent, original new amenity, right in the heart of the city.

107

Right, well, for our presentation, shall I start with the early life of Tor Heyerdahl?

108

Sure.

109

Why don't you begin with describing the type of boy he was, especially his passion for collecting things?

110

That's right.

111

He had his own little museum.

112

And I think it's unusual for children to develop their own values and not join in their parents' hobbies.

113

I'm thinking of how Hayerdahl wouldn't go hunting with his dad, for example.

114

Yeah, he preferred to learn about nature by listening to his mother read to him.

115

And quite early on, he knew he wanted to become an explorer when he grew up.

116

That came from his camping trips he went on in Norway, I think.

117

No, it was climbing that he spent his time on as a young man.

118

Oh, right.

119

After university, he married a classmate,

120

and together they decided to experience living on a small island to find out how harsh weather conditions shaped people's lifestyles.

121

As part of their preparation, before they left home, they learnt basic survival skills, like building a shelter.

122

I guess they needed that knowledge in order to live wild in a remote location

123

with few inhabitants cut off by the sea, which is what they were aiming to do.

124

An important part of your talk should be the radical theory Hayardal formed from examining mysterious ancient carvings

125

that he happened to find on the island.

126

I think you should finish with that.

127

OK.

128

All right, Victor, so after your part, I'll talk about Tor Hayardal's adult life, continuing from the theory he had about Polynesian migration.

129

Up until that time, of course, academics had believed that humans first migrated to the islands in Polynesia from Asia in the West.

130

Yes, they thought that travel from the east was impossible

131

because of the huge empty stretch of ocean that lies between the islands and the nearest inhabited land.

132

Yes, but Haydall spent ages studying the cloud movements, ocean currents and wind patterns to find if it was actually possible.

133

And another argument was that there was no tradition of large shipbuilding in the communities lying to the east of Polynesia.

134

But Heyerdahl knew they made lots of coastal voyages in locally built canoes.

135

Yes, or sailing on rafts, as was shown by the long voyage that Heyerdahl did next.

136

It was an incredibly risky journey to undertake.

137

Sometimes I wonder if he did that trip for private reasons, you know, to show others that he could have spectacular adventures.

138

What do you think, Olivia?

139

Well, I think it was more a matter of simply trying out his idea, to see if migration from the east was possible.

140

Yes, that's probably it.

141

And the poor guy suffered a bit at that time because the war forced him to stop his work for some years.

142

Yes.

143

When he got started again and planned his epic voyage, do you think it was important to him that he achieve it before anyone else did?

144

Um, I haven't read anywhere that that was his motivation.

145

The most important factor seems to have been that he used only ancient techniques and local materials to build his raft.

146

Yes.

147

I wonder how fast it went.

148

Well, it took them 97 days from South America to the Pacific Islands.

149

And after that, Haidtel went to Easter Island, didn't he?

150

We should mention the purpose of that trip.

151

I think he sailed there in a boat made out of reeds.

152

No, that was later on in Egypt, Olivia.

153

Oh, yes, that's right.

154

But what he wanted to do was talk to the local people about their old stone carvings

155

and then make one himself to learn more about the process.

156

I see.

157

Well, what a great life.

158

Even though many of his theories have been disproven, he certainly left a lasting impression on many disciplines, didn't he?

159

To my mind, he was the first person to establish what modern academics call practical archaeology.

160

I mean that they try to recreate something from the past today, like he did with his raft trip.

161

It's unfortunate that his ideas about where Polynesians originated from have been completely discredited.

162

Yes.

163

Right, well, I'll prepare a PowerPoint slide at the end that acknowledges our sources.

164

I mainly used The Life and Work of Tor Heyerdahl by William Oliver.

165

I thought the research methods he used were very sound, although I must say I found the overall tone somewhat old-fashioned.

166

I think they need to do a new revised edition.

167

Yeah, I agree.

168

What about the subject matter?

169

I found it really challenging.

170

Well, it's a complex issue.

171

I thought the book had lots of good points.

172

What did you think of the illustration?

173

Well, I've been talking to managers in a number of businesses and reading surveys about the future of management.

174

And what I'm going to present in this seminar is a

175

few ideas about how the activity is likely to change in the next 10 years.

176

It isn't a scientific statistical analysis, just some ideas for us to discuss.

177

One area I want to mention is business markets, and I'm sure a really significant development will be a major increase in competition,

178

with companies from all around the world trying to sell similar products.

179

Consumers will have much more choice.

180

For instance, food products sold in Australia might be manufactured in the USA, China, Finland, and dozens of other countries.

181

At the same time, mergers and takeovers mean that governments are actually losing power to major global corporations.

182

We can probably all think of companies that exert a great deal of influence, which may be good for consumers.

183

A third point I want to make about markets is that in the rapidly expanding economies such as India,

184

China, Brazil and Russia, demand is growing very fast.

185

This is putting pressure on resources all over the world.

186

I think businesses are becoming more open to external influences.

187

In particular, companies are consulting customers more and more before making their business decisions.

188

Companies are finding out what they want and providing it, instead of making products and then trying to sell them, which is the model of years ago.

189

Another influence is

190

that concerns about the environment will force manufacturers to extend product life cycles to reduce the amount of pollution and waste.

191

And, in some cases, regulation will need to be strengthened.

192

Many societies are much more fluid and democratic, and the structure of companies is changing to reflect that.

193

I think we're going to see a greater emphasis within companies on teams created with a specific project in mind,

194

and when they're completed, the teams will be disbanded and new ones formed.

195

More and more people see work as simply one part of their lifestyle

196

and not the most important one and as the workforce is shrinking in some countries

197

businesses are having to compete for staff instead of being able to choose among a lot of applicants

198

typical examples that will attract and retain staff are traditional ones like flexible hours and

199

something that has been made possible by advances in technology remote working with people based at at their home,

200

abroad, or almost anywhere they choose.

201

Management styles will almost certainly continue to change.

202

Senior managers will require a lot more than the efficiency that they've always needed.

203

Above all, they'll need great skills and leadership so

204

that their organization can initiate

205

and respond to change in a fast-moving world where they face lots of competing requirements and potential conflicts.

206

In most of the world, the senior managers of large businesses are mainly men in their 50s and 60s.

207

The predominant style of management will almost certainly become more consultative and collaborative,

208

caused, above all, by more women moving into senior management positions.

209

Many of the changes are influenced by developments in the wider economy.

210

The traditional emphasis of business was manufacturing, and of course the service sector is very important.

211

But we shouldn't overlook the growing financial contribution of IP, that is, intellectual property.

212

Some books and films generate enormous sums from the sale of related DVDs, music, games, clothes, and so on.

213

Another point I'd like to make is that although I've been When talking about companies,

214

one trend that they have to face is the move away from people working for the same employer for years.

215

Instead, more and more people are becoming self-employed to gain the freedom

216

and control over their lives that they're unlikely to get from being employed.

217

Okay, well, that's all I want to say, so let's open it up for discussion.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
