Part 4.

You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve, known as translocation.

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

Thank you.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves.

This is known as translocation and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years.

The reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas.

Overpopulation is a good problem to have and not one we tend to hear about very often.

In Malawi's Majeti National Park, the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers, who killed the elephants for their ivory.

But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.

Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.

In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.

Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.

This led to a number of problems.

Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.

As there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park, some elephants began looking further afield.

Elephants were routinely knocking down fences around the park,

which then had to be repaired at a significant cost.

To solve this problem, the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Nkotakota Wildlife Park,

where there were no elephants.

But, obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home three hundred kilometres away is quite a challenge.

So, how did this translocation process work in practice?

Elephants were moved in groups of between eight and twenty, all belonging to one family.

Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.

A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters and targeted a group,

which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.

The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.

This was a tricky manoeuvre, as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquiliser for different-sized elephants,

but they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.

This also had to be done as quickly as possible, so as to minimise the stress caused.

As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.

To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants were lying on their chests,

because their lungs could be crushed in this position.

So, all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.

One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.

It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.

If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.

Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.

Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.

Elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers, and also of their feet.

The elephants were then taken to a recovery area,

before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home.

The elephants translocated to Enkotakota settled in very well,

and the project has generally been accepted to have been a huge success, and not just for the elephants.

Employment prospects have improved enormously,

contributing to rising living standards for the whole community.

Poaching is no longer an issue, as former poachers are able to find more reliable sources of income.

In fact, many of them volunteered to give up their weapons, as they were no longer of any use to them.

More than two dozen elephants have been born at Enkotakota since relocation.

With an area of more than 1800 square kilometres, there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow.

Their presence is also helping to rebalance Enkotakota's damaged ecosystem,

and providing a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks.

All this has been a big draw for tourism,

which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife trade to GDP, and this is mainly because of the elephants.

There's also been a dramatic rise in interest from...

That is the end of part four.

You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

Thank you.

That is the end of the listening test.

In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.

FOR YOU

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？

通過觀看和聆聽這一段關於大象遷移的演講，您不僅可以提升自己的英語口語，還能瞭解野生動物保護的實際案例。這種真實的語境讓您能夠在口語練習中結合知識與語言，增強學習的趣味性和積極性。通過這種英語口語練習，您會在與他人對話時更加自信，並能夠流利地表達您的想法。

語法與表達方式分析

被動語態: 演講中多次使用被動語態，例如“elephants have been moved”強調了行動的接受者。這有助於學習如何在語境中運用被動句。
動名詞: 表達“moving elephants”中的動名詞結構，體現了一種持續的行為，適合於描述過程時使用。
條件句: “If there were fewer than six breaths per minute,”是經典的條件句用法，它可以幫助您學習如何表達假設情況，增加語言的複雜性。
現在完成時: 講述過去發生但與現在有聯絡的事情，例如“this is known as translocation”，讓學生認識到現在完成時的重要性。

常見發音陷阱

在影片中，有幾個單詞和短語可能會對學習者構成發音挑戰。例如，“translocation”中的重音和連音可能會讓非母語者感到困惑。此外，注意“大象”的發音，特別是在快速對話中，可能會導致誤解。通過定期的提高英語發音練習和英語影子跟讀，您可以有效克服這些發音難點。

尤其是與影片內容相結合的shadowing site練習，可以幫助您模仿說話者的語調和節奏，這對提高您的口語流利度至關重要。

總之，通過與這一段演講內容的互動，您將大大提高您的英語口語能力，同時對保護野生動物的知識有更深的理解。

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
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	have been moved · is known · being done
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	have been moved · has been carried · has been poached

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。
