Elizabeth, what persuaded you to leave your secure job in a travel agency and go to Africa?
10
Well, I'd been feeling restless for ages.
11
I wanted to see the real world, not just tourist places.

Yes.
15
I took down the name and address and applied.

I had a degree in economics, and I'd done some teaching at one time.
20
What they wanted to send me to Africa to do was to train local farmers in the marketing of their produce.
21
I flew out with 15 other volunteers, all going to do different things, like nursing, teaching and so on.
22
When we got there, we were supposed to have a four-week course at a training centre, learning something about the local culture and the basics of the language, you know, greetings and things like that.
23
Anyway, there was a problem and it only lasted three weeks in the end.
24
Not enough, really.
25
Did it take a long time to get used to your new lifestyle?
26
I found it quite difficult for the first few weeks.
27
But after that, I settled in very well.
28
My area covered 1,200 square kilometres, and I had a truck for long-distance travel, but for more local trips, I rode a motorbike.
29
How did you get on with the local people?
30
Very well.
31
The men were very polite, but they tended to keep their distance, unlike the women who were always inviting me to meals.
32
They showed me how they wove and dyed material to make clothes for themselves and their children.
33
I used to get magazines sent from England, and we'd spend ages looking at them.
34
I expect you found it very different when you returned to England.
35
Yes, I certainly did.
36
After two years of living very simply, I found the supermarkets especially overwhelming.
37
Just the enormous choice of food.
38
Also the traffic disturbed me.
39
I had to move from my flat in the city to a small cottage in the country, just to get some of the peace and quiet I'd become accustomed to in Africa.
40
And what are you working on at the moment?
41
Well, I didn't want to just go back to working in someone else's office, so I set up my own in business which I run from home.
42
I deal in African furniture.
43
I bought some small pieces back with me as souvenirs and everyone loved them in Britain.
44
However, I'm still in touch with the organisation that sent me to Africa as a volunteer.
45
I organise events to raise funds and give talks about my experience to encourage other people to go.
46
Has the experience in Africa changed you at all?
47
Oh yes, in many ways.
48
I used to spend all my time working, but now I make sure I have more time for gardening, my favourite hobby.

對話背景:伊麗莎白的非洲志願經歷
影片中,主持人採訪了曾在非洲做志願者的伊麗莎白。她分享了放棄穩定旅行社工作、前往非洲培訓當地農民營銷技巧的經歷,包括適應新生活的挑戰、與當地居民的互動,以及回國後的變化。這段對話生動展現了跨文化體驗,是看YouTube學英語的優質素材,適合練習口語和聽力。
日常交流必備的5個短語
- restless:坐立不安的(如“我一直感到 restless,想看看真實世界”)
- aptitude tests:能力測試(申請志願者時需參加 aptitude tests)
- settled in:適應(“最初幾週很難,但後來 settled in 了”)
- keep their distance:保持距離(當地男性很禮貌,但 tend to keep their distance)
- overwhelming:令人不知所措的(回國後覺得超市很 overwhelming)
影子跟讀(shadowspeak)分步指南
這段對話語速適中,包含較多生活場景詞彙,適合英語口語練習。以下是影子跟讀技巧:
- 先聽1-2遍,理解大意,注意伊麗莎白的語調變化(如講述適應過程時的起伏)。
- 逐句跟讀,重點模仿settled in、overwhelming等詞的發音,提升英語發音。
- 嘗試滯後1-2秒跟讀,訓練聽力和反應速度,這是shadowspeaks的核心技巧。
- 錄音對比,檢查是否跟上節奏,尤其注意連讀(如“tended to”)和弱讀(如“of”)。
堅持練習,你會發現自己的口語流暢度和聽力理解能力顯著提升。
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 |
|---|---|
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態,現在已不再如此 | used to get · used to spend |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | women who were |
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。
