1
Section 3 You will hear James, who is in the Scandinavian Studies Department at his university,
2
talking to his tutor, Beth.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
Oh, good morning.
6
You must be James.
7
I'm Beth Cartwright.
8
Please call me Beth.
9
Thank you.
10
Now, as this is your first tutorial since you started on the Scandinavian Studies course, I'd like to find out something about you.
11
Why did you decide to take this course?
12
Well, my mother is Danish, and although we always lived in England, she used to talk about her home a lot,
13
and that made me want to visit Denmark.
14
We hardly ever did, though.
15
My mother usually went on her own.
16
But whenever her relations or friends were in England, they always came to see us.
17
I see.
18
So I assume you already speak
19
Danish, one of the languages you'll be studying?
20
I can get by when I talk to people, though I'm not terribly accurate.
21
Now, you probably know that you'll spend the third year of the course abroad.
22
Have you had any thoughts about that?
23
I'm really looking forward to it.
24
And although Denmark seems the obvious place to go because of my family connections, I'd love to spend the time in Iceland.
25
Oh, I'm sure it can be arranged.
26
Do you have any plans for when you graduate?
27
A lot of students go on to take a master's degree.
28
I think the four years of the undergraduate course will be enough for me.
29
I'm interested in journalism, and I quite like the idea of moving to Scandinavia and writing for magazines.
30
I'd find that more creative than translating, which I suppose most graduates do.
31
OK.
32
Now, how are you finding the courses you're taking this term, James?
33
Well, I'm really enjoying the one on Swedish cinema.
34
That'll continue next term, but the one on Scandinavian literature that's running at the moment will be replaced by more specialised courses.
35
Oh, and by the way, if you're interested in watching
36
Danish television programmes, there's going to be a course on that the term after next.
37
That sounds good.
38
Have you started thinking about the literature paper that you have to write in the next few weeks?
39
Yes.
40
My first choice would be to do something on the Icelandic sagas.
41
Hmm.
42
The trouble with that is that a lot of people choose
43
that topic and it can be difficult to get hold of the books you'll need.
44
Why not leave that for another time?
45
Right.
46
You might find modern novels or nineteenth -century playwrights interesting.
47
I've read or seen several plays in translation, so that would be a good idea.
48
Fine.
49
I'll put you down for that topic.
50
Right.
51
So what would you advise me to aim at in the paper?
52
First, I suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail.
53
That approach certainly has its place, but I think you first need to get an understanding of the literature in the context of the society in
54
which it was produced, who it was written for, how it was published, and so on.
55
I also think that's more fruitful than placing it within the history of the genre.
56
Okay, that sounds reasonable.
57
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
58
Could I ask for some advice about writing the paper I'm working on about the Vikings?
59
I have to do that this week, and I'm a bit stuck. Of course.
60
Have you decided yet what to write about?
61
No, I haven't.
62
There's so much that seems interesting.
63
Viking settlement in other countries, trade, mythology.
64
Well, what I suggest is that you read an assignment a student wrote last year, which is kept in the library.
65
It's short and well -focused, and I'm sure you'll find it helpful.
66
I'll give you the details in a moment.
67
Textbooks usually cover so many topics, It can be very difficult to choose just one.
68
OK.
69
I've got a DVD of the film about the Vikings that came out earlier this year.
70
Should I watch that again?
71
If it's the one I am thinking of, I'd ignore it.
72
It's more fantasy than reality.
73
But I've got a recording of a documentary that you should watch.
74
It makes some interesting and provocative points, which I think will help you to focus your topic.
75
Right.
76
So then should I work out an outline?
77
Yes, just headings for different sections at this stage.
78
And then you should start looking for suitable articles and books to draw on, and take notes which you organise according to those headings.
79
I see.
80
Then put short phrases and sentences as bullet points under each heading.
81
Make sure that this skeleton makes sense and flows properly before writing up the paper in full.
82
Okay.
83
Thanks.
84
That's very helpful.
85
Now turn to Section 4.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

StructuurIn de video
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog teltHave you had · Have you started · I've read
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doetcan be arranged · will be replaced · was produced

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 26 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, I'd, you'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De “th”-klanken: nineteenth /ˌnaɪnˈtiːnθ/, mythology /mɪˈθɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/
  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: translation /tɹænzˈleɪʃən/, relation /ɹɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, genre /ˈ(d)ʒɑnɹə/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: documentary /ˌdɒk.jʊˈmɛn.tɹi/, mythology /mɪˈθɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, provocative /pɹəˈvɒk.ə.tɪv/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: abroad /əˈbɹɔːd/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, advise /ədˈvaɪz/, arrange /əˈɹeɪnd͡ʒ/, provocative /pɹəˈvɒk.ə.tɪv/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: translation /tɹænzˈleɪʃən/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: ignore /ɪɡˈnɔː/, saga /ˈsɑɡə/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als topic, heading, helpful.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
