8
You hear a woman talking about making jewellery.
9
2003 was the year my passion for jewellery making began.
10
There was a fantastic art teacher at school who made earrings and bracelets out of copper and I thought, I want to do that one day too.
11
I found an evening class where I learned a lot of useful techniques for working with gold and silver.
12
I've never considered using the former for my own jewellery because it's outside my price range,
13
range but I can afford the latter and in fact I've made several things with it recently.

They must be at least fifty years old.
24
Thanks.
25
The condition they're in doesn't bother me.
26
And actually, looking at the stamps, they're older than you say, which is brilliant because I haven't got many from the 1930s.
27
Oh, so you're looking for cards from a certain period?
28
Well, I collect all sorts, but I'm on the lookout for older ones that have text on the picture, like this one, which says,
29
Thinking of you in St Ives.

He never chose the same kind twice.
44
He would make all sorts of things.

A new handle for a fork, with a pattern cut into it.

Enough models to fill several glass cases.

He even made an electric guitar which he painted designs on, something he didn't normally do.

One piece I remember well is a polar bear.

The way it was carved really captured the look of the animal walking heavily through the snow.

Question 6.
114
You hear part of a conversation in a radio play.
115
Well, I've rung them twice already, and they said I must take the matter up with you.
116
It's clearly your responsibility as I got the model kit from you in the first place.
117
It was sealed when I got it too.
118
No, I'm quite sure.
119
I buy a lot of your kits, you know.
120
Do you want me to contact Model Makers magazine and tell them about what's happened?

130
You hear an interview with a girl who collects pebbles.
131
I'm with Jenny Braintree, who paints the whole world in miniature on small stones she finds at the seaside.
132
Jenny, you took up this hobby four years ago.
133
Er, it was four months ago, in fact.
134
I was on a beach holiday with my parents and I collected loads of nice, smooth pebbles.
135
When I got home, I started to paint tiny images of beautiful places like the Swiss mountains and the Brazilian rainforest.
136
I've done 89 so far.
137
Amazing.
138
These pictures are no more than five centimetres across and yet they contain so much detail.
139
So what's the reason behind this, Jenny?
140
Do you earn anything from all your hard work?
141
Dad thinks I could sell them but I'm not interested in that and anyway they're too special to me.
142
My real aim is to get better at painting because that's what I want to do when I'm older.
143
And although I haven't been to the places I illustrate on the Pebbles, it can be really good fun finding out about them on the internet.

為什麼通過這個影片練習口語?
通過觀察真實對話場景,學習者能夠有效提高他們的口語能力和聽力理解。這段影片包括了多個生活場景的對話,從製作珠寶到收集明信片,每一個情境都能幫助你瞭解不同的語言表達和文化背景。這種雅思口語練習方法使學習者能夠在實際對話中運用所學知識,從而增強流利度和自信心,同時還可以通過看YouTube學英語來接觸到更多豐富的語音材料。
語法與表達在語境中
在影片中,講話者使用了幾種核心結構,以下是一些關鍵表達:
- 過去時態: 例如:“2003是我對珠寶製作的熱情開始的一年。”這種結構幫助學習者描述過去的經歷和長久以來的興趣。
- 條件句: “如果我有預算,我會考慮使用金。” 此類句子用於表達假設和條件,對學習者理解語法結構非常重要。
- 描述性語言: “那隻北極熊雕刻得非常生動。”這類表達增強了對物體或情感的描述,使得語言更加生動有趣,適合用於雅思口語練習。
常見發音陷阱
在該影片中,有一些可能會造成發音困擾的單詞和片語:
- “postcard”:在快速的對話中,發音可能會被誤解,練習時應注意音節的清晰發音。
- “unique”:這個詞的發音常常被忽視,尤其是在流利對話中。學習者應該專注於練習這個詞的重音和語調。
- “techniques”:該單詞中的“niq”部分容易發音不清,為了提高英語發音,反覆練習是必不可少的。
通過這樣的發音練習,英語學習者能夠在真實情境中感受到語言的魅力,並在日常交流中展現出更高的自信和流利度。在進行shadow speech練習時,可以選擇影片中的對話進行模仿,進一步加強發音的準確性。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | He's only been racing |
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態,現在已不再如此 | used to take |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've never considered · I've made · we've already performed |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was carved · was only formed · is researched |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
