1
Part 3.
2
You will hear two sociology students called Tamara and Dev discussing their research for a presentation on loneliness.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 21 to 26.
5
Shall we go through the notes we've made from our research into loneliness now, Dev?
6
Okay, Samara.
7
It's been a real eye -opener.
8
I had no idea that loneliness has been increasing steadily for the last twenty years.
9
I know.
10
And it's the same all over the world.
11
The downside of a modern lifestyle, I guess.
12
Did you come to any conclusions about what the reasons for the increase are?
13
Well, I'd assumed it was mainly an issue for the elderly.
14
But in fact it's something which affects young people just as much.
15
Hmm, so nothing really to do with longer life spans.
16
Erm, what about social media?
17
In my case, far from making me feel isolated, it actually does the opposite.
18
'It definitely does more good than harm.' I'd say loneliness has a lot to do with the way cities are designed,
19
People living in high -rise flats with not much opportunity to speak to their neighbours.
20
I think you're right.
21
Another possible reason is that people are having fewer children and don't live in large extended family groups.
22
But in this country anyway, that all changed decades ago.
23
And yet loneliness is a more recent problem.
24
I suppose so.
25
A more plausible explanation is that people are having to move around for work
26
and often end up living miles away from their family and friends.
27
That's true.
28
Looking at the studies on health risks and loneliness, There are claims that loneliness has as much impact as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
29
Or similar to the risks caused by obesity.
30
But I'm not sure there's enough evidence for some of these claims.
31
Well, what about that one in Finland, which showed that loneliness increased the risk of cancer by about 10 %?
32
And those findings have been supported by other studies too.
33
You're right about that, Juan.
34
I was actually thinking of the studies on dementia.
35
Some found no association between loneliness and dementia, and others found the opposite.
36
Not exactly reliable then.
37
There's been a lot of research on cardiovascular disease.
38
And whether loneliness contributes to that?
39
Yes, I read that it was hard to reach a judgement, as the definition of loneliness varied quite a lot.
40
and the responses from participants were too subjective.
41
But there's no doubt that loneliness contributes to a weakened immune system.
42
Unquestionably.
43
The data on that is sound.
44
What did you think about the evolutionary theory of loneliness?
45
Well, I thought the idea that loneliness evolved because it motivated people to be with other people quite convincing.
46
Survival often depended on group cooperation.
47
But I don't think there's enough evidence to claim
48
that there must be a group of neurons in our brains
49
which influence social behaviour by making us feel bad when we're alone.
50
There are a few studies which support the theory, but not conclusively enough.
51
More evidence is needed.
52
And anyway, this theory is not really useful when it comes to solving the problem of loneliness today.
53
Trey.
54
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, You have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
55
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
56
Should we look at the relationship between loneliness and mental health now?
57
Okay.
58
So, loneliness and depression are clearly related and that's been recognised by various governments around the world.
59
But unlike depression, loneliness has no recognised clinical form.
60
There's no available diagnosis or effective treatments and that's not likely to change.
61
I don't think so either.
62
I was thinking we should start our presentation with an example from our own experience.
63
I'd like to talk about how lonely I was when I started university, being away from home for the first time and all that.
64
Good idea.
65
Everyone will be able to relate to that.
66
Although a lot of students were probably too embarrassed to admit to it.
67
Yeah.
68
We could discuss ways of dealing with loneliness as well, like just talking to strangers.
69
Loads of studies have shown that interactions with shop assistants and bar staff make people feel more optimistic and relaxed.
70
I don't know about that, but it must make people feel more connected with their community.
71
True.
72
Although you need to be a certain kind of person to be able to just strike up a conversation.
73
Good point.
74
We should say something about solitude and how being alone and being lonely aren't the same thing.
75
It's strange the way some people can't stand being by themselves while others love it.
76
Yeah, the research shows a certain amount of solitude is beneficial for wellbeing, which I appreciate.
77
But being alone isn't something I actually like.
78
I'd never choose to go on holiday alone, for example.
79
Me neither.
80
Well, let's not...
81
That is the end of part three.
82
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.

背景與語境

在本影片的第三部分,兩個社會學學生塔瑪拉和德夫討論了他們關於孤獨的研究。這次對話深入探討了孤獨感在現代社會中的普遍性,尤其是對年輕人的影響。通過他們的討論,觀眾能夠了解孤獨的多重成因,以及現代生活方式對人際關係的影響。此話題不僅引人深思,也為學習者提供了提高英語聽說能力的良好素材。

日常交流中的五個常用短語

  • eye-opener - 令人震驚的新發現
  • the downside of - ...的負面影響
  • it's something which affects - 這是影響...的事情
  • look at the studies - 檢視研究
  • undoubtedly - 毫無疑問地

逐步跟讀指導

為了有效地通過本影片提升您的英語口語能力,您可以採取以下步驟進行英語影子跟讀(shadow speech)。這些步驟將幫助您掌握對話中的語調和節奏,從而增強口語表達能力。

  1. 初步聆聽:首先,仔細聽整個對話,不要檢視文本。嘗試理解每個學生所描述的孤獨感和相關研究的內容。
  2. 文本對照:接下來,檢視文字稿。對照聆聽與文字,以便更好地理解語句的結構和用詞的選擇。
  3. 分段模仿:將對話分成小段,逐句進行shadowspeak(影子跟讀)。嘗試模仿塔瑪拉和德夫的語調、重音和速度。
  4. 重複練習:多次重複每一句。注意他們的語速和語音起伏,這將有助於提高您的自然口語能力。
  5. 錄音對比:將您的跟讀錄音與原影片進行對比,分析您的發音和語調,找出需要改進的地方。

通過這種shadowing site(跟讀網站)所推薦的方法,您將能夠更自信地使用英語進行交流。確保在學習過程中,積極實踐這些短語,並不斷嘗試與他人對話,從而提高自己的口語能力。

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
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we've made · It's been · have been supported
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的are designed · have been supported · is needed

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。
