Section 3
2
You will hear two biology students called Helen
3
and Colin talking about the report they are writing on their recent field trip to a seaside area called Rocky Bay.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
6
I've brought my notes on our biology field trip to Rocky Bay, Colin, so we can work on our report on the research we did together.
7
Okay, I've got mine too.
8
Let's look at the aims of the trip first.
9
Right.
10
What did you have?
11
I just put something about getting experience of the different sorts of procedures used on a field trip.
12
But we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.
13
I agree.
14
And something about finding out how to protect organisms in danger of dying out.
15
In our aims.
16
But we weren't really looking at that.
17
I suppose not.
18
Okay, now there's the list of equipment we all had to bring on the field trip.
19
What did they tell us to bring a ruler for?
20
It was something about measuring the slope of the shore.
21
But of course we didn't need it because we were measuring wind direction and we'd brought the compass for that.
22
But not the piece of string to hold up in the air.
23
Didn't Mr. Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind?
24
Yeah, he does go on.
25
Anyway, it was easy to get one from another of the students.
26
Now, the next section's the procedure.
27
I sent you the draft of that.
28
Yeah, um, it was clear, but I don't think we need all these details of what time we left
29
and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.
30
Okay, I'll look at that again.
31
Then we have to describe our method of investigation in detail.
32
So let's begin with how we measured wave speed.
33
I was surprised how straightforward that was.
34
I'd expected us to have some sort of high -tech device, not just stand there and count the number of waves per minute.
35
Not very precise, but I suppose it was good enough.
36
But the way we measured the amount of salt was interesting.
37
In the water from the rock pools?
38
Yeah.
39
Oh, I wanted to check the chemicals we used in the lab when we analysed those samples.
40
Was it potassium chromate and silver nitrate?
41
That's right.
42
OK.
43
And we need the map of the seashore.
44
You just left that to me.
45
And I had to do it while the tide was low.
46
Well, that was OK, but the place I started it from was down on the beach.
47
Then I realised I should have gone up higher to get better visibility, so I had to start all over again.
48
But at least I'd got the squared paper, or I'd have had problems drawing it all to scale.
49
Yeah, it looks good.
50
We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.
51
Hmm, I had a look, but I couldn't find anything.
52
But you took some pictures, didn't you?
53
Yeah, I'll email you them if you want.
54
Okay, I'll make my amendments using those.
55
Then I can scan it into our report.
56
Great!
57
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
58
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
59
now
60
when we get to our findings i thought we could divide
61
them up into the different zones we identified on the shore
62
and the problems organisms face in each zone
63
so for the highest area the splash zone yeah We found mostly those tiny shellfish
64
that have strong hard shells that act as protection.
65
But not from other organisms that might eat them, predators.
66
No, that's not the main danger for them, but the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time.
67
Right.
68
And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter
69
or cover themselves up so they don't get too hot.
70
Then in the middle and lower zones nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of wave action.
71
Yes, and how organisms develop structures to prevent themselves from being swept away or even destroyed by being smashed against the rocks.
72
I haven't done anything on the geological changes.
73
I don't know what to put for that.
74
No, we weren't concentrating on that.
75
Maybe we need to find some websites.
76
Good idea.
77
I've got the lecture notes from Mr Blake's geology course, but they're too general.
78
But we could ask him which books on our reading list might be most helpful.
79
Right.
80
Okay, now I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research, but I don't know if you agree.
81
For example, the size of the sample and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from, but I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.
82
We did, and our general method of observation seemed quite reliable, but we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.
83
Yeah, we might have missed some organisms if they were hiding under a rock, for example.
84
I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats.
85
I decided it was probably OK.
86
Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed, but they were adequate in this context.
87
I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly, though.
88
OK, we'd better mention that.
89
Now, how are we going to...
90
That is the end of Section 3.
91
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Кому подходит это видео?

Это видео идеально подходит для учеников английского уровня intermediate и выше, особенно тех, кто готовится к IELTS. Диалог студентов по биологии содержит естественную разговорную речь, близкую к теме академических заданий, что помогает улучшить восприятие и речь в контексте научных обсуждений. Если вы учите английский по видео и хотите потренироваться в shadow speak, этот материал станет отличным инструментом: он сочетает специфичную лексику с обыденной коммуникацией.

Полезные слова и выражения

  • Field trip — экспедиция, учебная поездка. В видео речь идет о биологической экспедиции на берег.
  • Habitats — обитания. Студенты обсуждают, что заставляет организмы выбирать определенные обитания.
  • High - tech device — высокотехнологичное устройство. В контексте: ожидали использовать что-то современное, а не считать волны вручную.
  • Get visibility — получить хороший обзор. Один из студентов переместился выше, чтобы лучше видеть при рисовании карты.

Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте

В диалоге студентов слышны характерные черты разговорного английского: редкие паузы, естественная интонация и сокращения (например, "I've got", "didn't need"). Для тренировки shadowspeak рекомендуется повторять фразы сразу после говорящего, копируя ритм и высоту голоса. Обратите внимание на произношение слов с длинными гласными, такими как procedure (процедура) и precise (точный) — не сглаживайте их, чтобы сохранить смысл. Также практикуйте интонацию в вопросах: в разговорной речи она поднимается на конце, даже если вопрос не носит эмоционального окраса. Это поможет сделать вашу речь более естественной и понятной.

Используйте этот видео для регулярных тренировок shadow speak: повторите фрагменты по 5-10 раз, обращая внимание на мелкие детали. Это эффективный способ улучшить произношение английского и научиться говорить так, как говорят носители.

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.
