Part 4.
2
You will hear a lecturer on a fashion design course introducing the subject of hand knitting, which involves making things like woolen jumpers and scarves.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Good morning everyone.
7
So today we're going to look at an important creative activity and that's hand knitting.
8
Ancient knitted garments have been found in many different countries showing
9
that knitting is a global activity with a long history
10
when someone says the word knitting
11
we might well picture an elderly person a grandmother perhaps sitting by the fire knitting garments for themselves
12
or other members of the family it's a homely image
13
but one that may lead you to feel that knitting is an activity of the past
14
And indeed, during the previous decade, it was one of the skills that was predicted to vanish from everyday life.
15
For although humans have sewn and knitted their own clothing for a very long time,
16
many of these craft -based skills went into decline when industrial machines took over,
17
mainly because they were no longer passed down from one generation to another.
18
However, that's all changing, and interest in knitting classes, in many countries, is actually rising,
19
as more and more people are seeking formal instruction in the skill.
20
With that trend, we're also seeing an increase in the sales figures for knitting equipment.
21
So, why do people want to be taught to knit at a time
22
when a machine can readily do the job for them?
23
The answer is that knitting as a handicraft has numerous benefits for those doing it.
24
Let's consider what some of these might be.
25
While many people knitted garments in the past because they couldn't afford to buy clothes,
26
it's still true today that knitting can be helpful if you're experiencing economic hardship.
27
If you have several children who all need warm winter clothes, knitting may save you a lot of money.
28
And the results of knitting your own clothes can be very rewarding,
29
even though the skills you need to get going are really quite basic and the financial outlay is minimal.
30
But the more significant benefits in today's world are to do with well -being.
31
In a world where it's estimated that we spend up to nine hours a day online,
32
doing something with our hands that is craft -based makes us feel good.
33
It releases us from the stress of a technological, fast -paced life.
34
Now, let's look back a bit to early knitting activities.
35
In fact, no one really knows when knitting first began,
36
but archaeological remains have disclosed plenty of information for us to think about.
37
One of the interesting things about knitting is
38
that the earliest pieces of clothing that have been found suggest that most of the items produced were round rather than flat.
39
Discoveries from the 3rd and 4th centuries in Egypt show that things like socks and gloves,
40
that were needed to keep hands and feet warm, were knitted in one piece using 4 or 5 needles.
41
That's very different from most knitting patterns today, which only require two.
42
What's more, the very first needles people used were hand -carved out of wood and other natural materials,
43
like bone, whereas today's needles are largely made of steel or plastic and make that characteristic clicking sound when someone's using them.
44
Ancient people knitted using yarns made from linen,
45
hemp, cotton and wool, and these were often very rough on the skin.
46
The spinning wheel, which allowed people to make finer yarns and produce much greater quantities of them,
47
led to the dominance of wool in the knitting industry, often favoured for its warmth.
48
another interesting fact about knitting is that because it was practiced in
49
so many parts of the world for
50
so many purposes regional differences in style developed this visual identity has allowed researchers to match bits of knitted clothing
51
that have been unearthed over time to the region from which the wearer came, or the job that he or she did.
52
As I've mentioned, knitting offered people from poor communities a way of making extra money while doing other tasks.
53
For many centuries, it seems, men, women and children took every opportunity to knit,
54
for example, while watching over sheep, walking to market, or riding in boats.
55
So, let's move on to...
56
That is the end of part four.
57
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

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。
