1
Now turn to part four.
2
You'll hear an interview with Trina Travos, a pop singer who is only 15.
3
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute in which to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
Marina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
8
What was it like?
9
It was wonderful.
10
I had the six-week school summer holidays and, you know, went over there for a month and then started school again.
11
What did your classmates at school think?
12
I just told close friends what I was doing in the States and I thought, well, if the records were successful then I'd tell everyone.
13
And they were successful.
14
Right.
15
And my friends were very good about it, not envious or anything.
16
Did you like being in the USA?
17
Oh, yes.
18
Most of the time it was great.
19
The people are so friendly.
20
Did you manage to write any songs there?
21
Well, yeah, I did.
22
Most of the stuff I'd done in England had been about the people closest to me.
23
You know, Mum, Dad, my sister.
24
They weren't with me in the States.
25
And although I miss them, and silly things like the rain in England and fish and chips, being surrounded with new faces gave me lots of material for my songs.
26
Now, your home in England is a long way from London.
27
Yes, about as far as you can get.
28
So, is it easy to get into the music business if you live that far away?
29
Don't you have to be in London, or near a big city at least?
30
No, no. We did play in London once.
31
We were actually approached at a local concert, so I don't think it's impossible to get noticed anywhere.
32
There are lots of record companies looking for bands, and they do go quite a long way from the cities to find them.
33
I was lucky with my band, and there have been other bands like us that have been lucky as well, so you don't have to come from a huge city to be discovered.
34
Now, in the USA you did a song with someone who was a star when I was your age, David Pearson, and you hadn't any idea who he was.
35
No, it was embarrassing actually, but he was a really pleasant guy.
36
Yeah?
37
He was recording an album in the same studio and he had this song that he needed someone to sing with him.
38
And he asked me and I was only too delighted to do it.
39
But that wasn't the only famous star you worked with in the States, was it?
40
No, there was Lance Lakatov.
41
But you had heard of him?
42
Yes, he's a bit of a hero of mine, in fact.
43
And you were in his TV series?
44
Yes.
45
And what was that like?
46
It was a really good experience.
47
I hadn't done anything like that before.
48
And they filmed us for three or four days, you know, and that was the end of it.
49
Oh, so I thought, but they'd made some mistakes, which was such a shame, because I had to go back to the USA.
50
Oh!
51
I came home to England, and then they phoned up and said they had some bad camera work, etc., and had to fly all the way back and do it again.
52
Actually, in the USA, your record did well, but not here in England.
53
Why is that?
54
Because you've never been able to get it over here in Britain.
55
The record company's never had any arrangements to sell their records in Britain, so it's always just been the USA, which is nice, in a way.
56
Why do you say that?
57
Well, it's good to come home and get away from it.
58
But is it that the company don't think your style will appeal over here?
59
No, it's purely the fact they don't operate over here.
60
But the company's just been sold, and the new company does operate over here.
61
So maybe they will release the record.
62
So, where do you see your career going?
63
Will you go back to the States?
64
Well, not for a while, I shouldn't think, as I have another two years at school here in England.
65
I know my school friends are thinking of college, but I'm not sure that's for me, even to do music.
66
Then, my agent has been trying to persuade me to do it full time, and my parents say it's up to me, but I'm happy to wait a while before that happens.
67
I can still write, after all.
68
In fact, one of my songs is in the American charts at the moment, but sung by someone else.
69
Well, the best of luck, Trina.
70
Now you'll hear part four again.
71
Trina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
72
What was it like?
73
It was wonderful.

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。
