1
You will hear a student called Joanna talking to her new supervisor about some research she has done on psychology and music.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
3
you Thank you.
4
26. Hi, Joanna.
5
Good to meet you.
6
Now, before we discuss your new research project,
7
I'd like to hear something about the psychology study you did last year for your master's degree.
8
So, how did you choose your subjects for that?
9
Well, I had six subjects,
10
all professional musicians and all female three were violinists
11
and there was also a cello player and a pianist
12
and a flute player they were all very highly regarded in the music world
13
and they'd done quite extensive tours in different continents and quite a few had won prizes and competitions as well.
14
And they were quite young, weren't they?
15
Yes, between 25 and 29.
16
The mean was 27.8.
17
I wasn't specifically looking for artists who'd produced recordings,
18
but this is something that's just taken for granted these days,
19
and they all had.
20
Right.
21
Now, you collected your data through telephone interviews, didn't you?
22
Yes.
23
I realised if I was going to interview leading musicians,
24
it'd only be possible over the phone because they're so busy.
25
I recorded them using a telephone recording adapter.
26
I'd been worried about the quality,
27
but it worked out alright.
28
I managed at least a 30-minute interview with each subject, sometimes longer.
29
Did doing it on the phone make it more stressful?
30
I thought it might.
31
It was all quite informal,
32
though, and in fact they seemed very keen to talk.
33
And I don't think using the phone meant I got less rich data.
34
Rather the opposite, in fact.
35
Interesting.
36
And you were looking at how performers dress for concert performances.
37
That's right.
38
My research investigated the way players see their role as a musician
39
and how this is linked to the type of clothing they decide to wear.
40
But that focus didn't emerge immediately.
41
When I started, I was more interested in trying to investigate the impact of what was worn on those listening,
42
and also whether someone like a violinist might adopt a different style of clothing from,
43
say, someone playing the flute or the trumpet.
44
It's interesting that the choice of dress is up to the individual, isn't it?
45
Yes.
46
You'd expect there to be rules about it in orchestras,
47
but that's quite rare.
48
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
49
you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
50
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
51
You only had women performers in your study.
52
Was that because male musicians are less worried about fashion?
53
I think a lot of the men are very much influenced by fashion,
54
but in social terms, the choices they have are more limited.
55
They'd really upset audiences if they strayed away from quite narrow boundaries.
56
Now, popular music has quite different expectations.
57
Did you read Mike Frost's article about the dress of women performers in popular music?
58
No.
59
Well, he points out that a lot of female singers
60
and musicians in popular music tend to dress down in performances and wear less feminine clothes,
61
like jeans instead of skirts.
62
And he suggests this is because otherwise they'd just be discounted as trivial.
63
But you could argue they're just wearing what's practical.
64
I mean, a pop music concert is usually a pretty energetic affair.
65
Yes, he doesn't make that point,
66
but I think you're probably right.
67
I was interested by the effect of the audience as a musical performance
68
when it came to the choice of dress the subjects i
69
interviewed felt this was really important it's all to do with what we understand by performance as a public event
70
they believed the audience had certain expectations
71
and it was up to them as performers to fulfill these
72
expectations to show a kind of esteem they weren't afraid of looking as if they'd made an effort to look good.
73
I think in the past,
74
the audience would have had those expectations of one another too,
75
but that's not really the case now.
76
Not in the UK anyway.
77
No. And I also got interested in what sports scientists are doing too with regard to clothing.
78
Musicians are quite vulnerable physically, aren't they?
79
Because the movements they carry out are very intensive and repetitive,
80
so I'd imagine some features of sports clothing could safeguard the players from the potentially dangerous effects of this sort of thing.
81
Yes, but musicians don't really consider it.
82
They avoid clothing that obviously restricts their movements,
83
but that's as far as they go.
84
Anyway, coming back to your own research,
85
do you have any idea where you're going from here?
86
I was thinking of doing a study using an audience, including...
87
That is the end of section 3.
88
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор на основе этого видео?

Практика говорения является ключевым компонентом изучения английского языка, особенно когда дело касается сложных тем, таких как психология и музыка. В данном видео вы услышите разговор между Джоанной и её научным руководителем, где обсуждаются аспекты её исследования, что предоставляет уникальную возможность для изучения специфической лексики и речевых конструкций. Вы сможете не только повторять за спикером, используя методы shadow speech, но и погружаться в контекст, который обогащает ваше понимание английского языка.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

Во время беседы Джоанна использует ряд грамматических конструкций и выражений, которые полезно изучить:

  • согласование времен: "So, how did you choose your subjects?" — Здесь важно обращать внимание на структуру вопросов и использование прошедшего времени.
  • сослагательное наклонение: "I thought it might" — использование словосочетаний, которые выражают сомнение или предположение.
  • предложения с причастиями: "I managed at least a 30-minute interview with each subject" — такие конструкции помогают говорить более естественно и выразительно.
  • предложения с предлогами: "interview leading musicians" — использование предлогов в правильном контексте имеет огромное значение для овладения языком.

Распространенные ловушки произношения

В видео встречаются несколько слов и фраз, которые могут быть трудными для произношения:

  • "subjects" — это слово часто неправильно произносят из-за его ударения и согласных.
  • "psychology" — правильное произношение требует внимания к звукам "p" и "ch".
  • "ciello player" — важно обратить внимание на произношение "cello", чтобы избежать ошибок.

Используйте методы shadowspeak для того, чтобы отработать произношение и интонацию, подстраиваясь под речи носителей языка. Это поможет вам улучшить ваше умение говорить плавно и уверенно.

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.
