How was your holiday, Tom?
2
Absolutely fine.
3
I suppose you went on one of those archaeological digs of yours.
4
What's wrong with a walking holiday if you don't want to lie on the beach?
5
Nothing really, except I'd say it doesn't give you much to think about.
6
And that's what I really need.
7
Lying on the beach isn't for me.
8
I don't necessarily want to climb a mountain or do whitewater rafting, but a bit of exercise is good.
9
It's nice to travel, too.
10
Though to be honest, once you get down to work, it doesn't matter much where you are.
11
Unless it rains all the time, perhaps.
12
So what's the attraction of grubbing about in the ground?
13
Finding a hoard of gold would be good, but most of us are realistic enough to know that won't ever happen.
14
Actually, I think it's good for me as a person.

Some people might like to claim they're saying something really relevant that'll rewrite history, but that's rather an exaggerated claim in my view.

Extract 2 You hear two colleagues talking about time management.
38
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
39
I love watching people's expressions when they turn up late for my time management seminars.
40
Why's that?
41
They sidle in, looking exactly like a child who just got caught with a hand in a cookie jar.
42
Maybe mumbling something sheepishly about traffic while their friends tease them about being late for a class on time management.

But we've all done it, right?

Not me.

It's causing more and more problems socially.

At work, it even seriously hampers promotion chances.

But what's the answer?
49
I'm pretty hopeless myself.

I've tried setting my alarm ten, even fifteen minutes fast, but...

That never works.

53
You got that right.
54
So are you telling me you're never late?
55
Hard to believe. But true.
56
So how do you do it?
57
What's the secret?
58
You have to undergo a complete change of mindset.
59
Don't just aim to be on time for appointments.
60
Become an early person, period.
61
Hmm, sounds tough.
62
But well worth it.
63
Just think, no more rushing for the train, No more missed flights or embarrassing searches for excuses at meetings or on dates?
64
Right.

Extract 3.
95
You hear two friends talking about a historical novel they have read.
96
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
97
What did you think of Lorna Dean's new book?
98
I was disappointed in the characters.
99
That's probably because you got so used to the ones that appear in all her other novels about the period.
100
The old familiar friends.
101
I thought these ones were a pretty convincing bunch, especially that rather mixed-up boy.
102
There wasn't much she could do with the plot, though.
103
The events of the period are so well documented.
104
There was a lot of local colour, I thought.
105
I suppose so, but it tended to be a bit over-explained.
106
The description didn't come in naturally.
107
Oh, I don't agree with you there.
108
I felt I got a real feel for time and place.
109
This did give us a window on a very different society.
110
The writer's view of it, of course.
111
Oh, hardly fair.
112
She'd done her research.
113
She didn't just put her own spin on things.
114
And didn't you think some of the politics and intrigue had a familiar ring?
115
An interesting parallel with what goes on today.
116
Oh, no. I took reading it as an opportunity to forget the here and now.
117

FOR YOU

推薦影片

你能學到什麼

這段影片對話能幫你提升兩項實用口語技能:一是如何自然表達偏好與理由,比如對話中湯姆闡述考古假期的吸引力,用了“Actually, I think it's good for me as a person”這樣的句式;二是如何在交流中回應質疑,像應對“挖地有什麼意思”的提問時,先讓步再轉折的表達邏輯。這些都是CAE考試中口語部分的關鍵能力,也能讓你在日常對話中更流暢自信。

注意這些語音現象

對話裡有不少連讀和弱讀值得關注。比如“what's wrong with”中“what's”和“wrong”的連讀,“with a”弱讀成/wɪðə/;“doesn't give you”裡“doesn't”的/t/濁化,“you”弱讀為/jə/。還有“grubbing about in the ground”中“about in”的連讀,這些語音細節能讓你的口語更接近母語者。多聽幾遍,模仿這些連線方式,對提高英語發音很有幫助。

像母語者一樣說話

想要掌握母語者的節奏和重音,不妨試試影子跟讀(shadow speech)。比如湯姆說“Finding a hoard of gold would be good, but most of us are realistic enough to know that won't ever happen”時,重音落在“gold”“realistic”“ever”上,節奏先快後慢,突出轉折。你可以跟著影片逐句跟讀,注意模仿重音和停頓。堅持練習,不僅能提升口語流暢度,還能培養語感。這個對話就是很好的影子跟讀素材,適合在影子跟讀網站(shadowing site)上反覆練習。

記住,口語進步需要多聽多模仿。抓住這些細節,每天花10分鐘影子跟讀,你會發現自己的發音和表達越來越自然!

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。
