1
Section 3.
2
You will hear two biology students called Emma and Jack discussing an experiment they are going to do together.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
We've got to choose a topic for our experiment, haven't we, Jack?
6
Were you thinking of something to do with seeds?
7
That's right.
8
I thought we could look at seed germination, how a seed begins to grow.
9
OK.
10
Any particular reason?
11
I know you're hoping to work in plant science eventually.
12
Yeah, but practically everything we do is going to feed into that.
13
No, there's an optional module on seed structure and function in the third year that I might do.
14
So I thought it might be useful for that.
15
If I choose that option, I don't have to do a dissertation module.
16
Good idea.
17
Well, I thought for this experiment, we could look at the relationship between seed size
18
and the way the seeds are planted so we could plant different sized seeds in different ways and see which grow best.
19
OK.
20
Would need to allow time for the seeds to come up.
21
That should be fine if we start now.
22
A lot of the other possible experiments need quite a bit longer.
23
So that'd make it a good one to choose.
24
And I don't suppose it'd need much equipment.
25
We're not doing chemical analysis or anything though that's not really an issue.
26
We've got plenty of equipment in the laboratory.
27
Yeah, we need to have a word with the tutor if we're going to go ahead with it, though.
28
I'm sure our aim's OK.
29
It's not very ambitious, but the assignment's only 10 % of our final mark, isn't it?
30
But we need to be sure we're the only ones doing it.
31
Yeah, it's only 5 % actually, but it'd be a bit boring if everyone was doing it.
32
Did you read that book on seed germination on our reading list?
33
The one by Graves?
34
Hmm.
35
I looked through it for my last experiment, though it wasn't all that relevant there.
36
It would be for this experiment, though.
37
I found it quite hard to follow, lots about the theory which I hadn't expected.
38
Yes, I'd been hoping for something more practical.
39
It does include references to the recent findings on genetically modified seeds, though.
40
Yes, that was interesting.
41
I read an article about seed germination by Lee Hall.
42
About seeds that lie in the ground for ages and only germinate after a fire.
43
That's the one.
44
I knew a bit about it already, but not about this research.
45
His analysis of figures comparing the times of the fires and the proportion of seeds that germinated
46
was done in a lot of detail.
47
Very impressive.
48
Was that the article with the illustrations of early stages of plant development?
49
They were very clear.
50
I think those diagrams were in another article.
51
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 -30.
52
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
53
Anyway, shall we have a look at the procedure for our experiment?
54
We'll need to get going with it quite soon.
55
Right.
56
So the first thing we have to do is find our seeds.
57
I think vegetable seeds would be best.
58
And obviously they mustn't all be the same size.
59
So how many sorts do we need?
60
About four different ones?
61
I think that would be enough.
62
There'll be quite a large number of seeds for each one.
63
Then for each seed we need to find out how much it weighs and also measure its dimensions.
64
And we need to keep a careful record of all that.
65
That'll be quite time -consuming.
66
And we also need to decide how deep we're going to plant the seeds, right on the surface a few millimetres down or several centimetres.
67
OK, so then we get planting.
68
Do you think we can plant several seeds together in the same plant pot?
69
No, I think we need a different one for each seed.
70
Right.
71
And we'll need to label them.
72
We can use different coloured labels.
73
Then we wait for the seeds to germinate.
74
I reckon that'll be about three weeks, depending on what the weather's like.
75
Then we see if our plants have come up and write down how tall they've grown.
76
Then all we have to do is look at our numbers and see if there's any relation between them.
77
That's right.
78
That is the end of Section 3.
79
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
80
Now turn to section 4.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 25 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals we're, don't, it'd. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: relation /ɹɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, proportion /pɹəˈpɔɹʃən/, dimension /daɪˈmɛn.ʃən/, ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, illustration /ˌɪləsˈtɹeɪ̯ʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, biology /baɪˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, practically /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.k(ə.)li/, illustration /ˌɪləsˈtɹeɪ̯ʃən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: seed /siːd/, impressive /ɪmˈpɹɛsɪv/, depend /dɪˈpɛnd/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, practically /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.k(ə.)li/, ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, diagram /ˈdaɪ.ə.ɡɹæm/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als seed, experiment, label.
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.
