1
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
2
Now listen and answer questions 21 to 24.
3
Hello, Dr. Green.
4
I'm here to talk to you about my work placement.
5
Oh, yes.
6
It's Holly, isn't it?
7
Yes.
8
So, which work placement have you chosen?
9
I decided to go for the Orion Stadium placement.
10
The event I'll be managing is one where I'm helping to set up a sports competition for primary school children.
11
Yep, that's always a popular placement, even though it can be tougher than you think, working with children.
12
I know, but it's the fresh air that attracts me.
13
Organising something indoors doesn't have the same appeal, even though it might be fun.
14
OK, so obviously safety is going to be one of your key concerns for this event?
15
Yes, I've already thought about that.
16
I'll need to make sure none of the equipment's damaged.
17
Ah, well, you'll be working with schools, so the equipment will be their responsibility.
18
However, the grounds and what goes on there will be yours.
19
Oh, I see.
20
That'll include keeping everyone within the boundary once they're in their kit and on the field?
21
Exactly.
22
You'll need to inspect areas like changing rooms as well, for anything someone can trip over.
23
But your main priority will be not to lose anyone.
24
Right.
25
I'll need staff to help with that.
26
And don't forget about the spectators.
27
I was thinking that many of them will be parents who could help run the event.
28
I wouldn't rely on that.
29
They'll be more interested in filming their children than volunteering.
30
I'll need to make sure they don't interfere with events doing that.
31
And that's not always easy, especially when a proud parent's trying to get a snap of their child and you want them to move elsewhere.
32
OK.
33
What about the scheduling?
34
With sporting events, there are all sorts of things that can alter the timetable, like rain for instance, though so far we've always been lucky with that.
35
Yeah, and I was thinking about what to do if someone got hurt as well.
36
I know that last year that caused a terrible delay.
37
You have to be prepared for such things.
38
Oh, what if a match ends in a draw?
39
Do you let the teams keep going until someone wins?
40
That'll be up to you.
41
And again, you need to plan for it.
42
Right.
43
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
44
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
45
Now, the aim of your work placement is to give you the opportunity to develop the skills that an events manager needs.
46
So let's talk about those a bit.
47
Well, I think my communication skills are pretty good.
48
I can talk on the phone to people and book venues and that kind of thing.
49
Good.
50
Just remember it isn't only about what you say.
51
If you meet someone face to face and want to persuade them to be a sponsor, for example...
52
Oh, I'll dress up for that, sure.
53
Good.
54
Let's go on to think about your organisational skills.
55
You're working in a very people-based industry, and that means things won't always go to plan.
56
I guess it's being prepared to make changes that matters.
57
That's right.
58
You may have to make an on-the-spot change to a timetable because of a problem you hadn't anticipated.
59
Just do it, OK?
60
How's your time management these days?
61
I'm working on it.
62
I'm certainly better when I have a deadline, which is why this work suits me.
63
Yes, but it's how you respond as that deadline approaches.
64
I know I've got to look calm, even if I'm in a panic.
65
Just think to yourself, no one must know I'm under pressure.
66
Yeah, even though I'm multitasking like crazy.
67
Another skill that events managers need is creativity.
68
Often your client has what we call the big picture idea, but it's up to the events manager to think of all the fine points that go to making it work.
69
Right.
70
So I need to listen carefully to that idea and then fill in all the gaps.
71
That's right.
72
And you'll have a team working under you, so another key skill is leadership.
73
Your team may have lots of ideas too, but you've got to make the ultimate choices.
74
Do we have refreshments inside or out, for example?
75
Isn't it better to be democratic?
76
It's a nice idea, but you have the ultimate responsibility.
77
So believe in what you think best.
78
Be prepared to say, yes, that's a good idea, but it won't work here.
79
I see what you mean.
80
What about the networking side of things?
81
I know it's an area that a lot of students worry about, because we don't have much experience to offer others.
82
But even without it, you can still be an interesting person with useful ideas, and the more people you impress, the better.
83
I guess that will help me when I apply for a real job.
84
Exactly.
85
Think ahead.
86
Remember what your ambitions are and keep them in mind.
87
Definitely.
88
That is the end of part three.
89
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Кому подходит это видео?

Это видео идеально подходит для учеников среднего уровня, готовящихся к экзаменам Cambridge (например, IELTS или FCE), а также тем, кто хочет улучшить аудирование и разговорные навыки. Диалог между студентом и доктором Green отражает реальную коммуникацию в профессиональной среде, что поможет освоить специфику разговоров о планировании мероприятий. Если вы учите английский по видео и хотите практиковать shadowing (или "shadowspeak"), этот материал станет отличным инструментом: он содержит естественную речь с живыми паузами и интонацией, которые легки для повторения.

Полезные слова и идиомы

  • Work placement — стажировка, практика на рабочем месте. В диалоге речь идет о выбранной студенткой стажировке в стадионе.
  • Set up — организовать, подготовить. "Setting up a sports competition" — подготовка спортивного соревнования.
  • Interfere with — мешать, вмешиваться. "Don't interfere with events" — не мешайте проведению мероприятий.
  • Alter the timetable — изменить расписание. В контексте: погодные условия могут изменить распорядок дня.

Эти выражения часто используются в деловой и повседневной речи, так что запомнив их, вы сможете более естественно выражать свои мысли.

Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте

Чтобы освоить правильное произношение английского, используйте технику shadowing (shadow speak): повторяйте за говорящими сразу после их речи, копируя интонацию и ритм. В этом видео обратите внимание на:

  • Интонацию вопросов: В разговоре доктор Green часто использует подъемный тон в конце вопросов ("isn't it?", "that kind of thing?"), что делает речь более живой.
  • Слабые формы: Слова like "to", "for", "of" часто произносятся кратко (например, "a sports competition for primary school children" — "fə" вместо "for").
  • Паузы: Говорящие делают короткие паузы перед важными идеями ("OK, so obviously safety..."), что помогает понять структуру речи. Повторяйте эти паузы, чтобы ваша речь звучала естественно.

Регулярная практика shadowing с этим видео поможет вам улучшить произношение английского и научиться понимать реальную речь на слух.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
