Section 2.
2
You will hear a programme on a student radio station.
3
It describes the findings of a survey on vacation jobs taken by students the previous year.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16 on page 4.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
6
Welcome to Student Life.
7
It's spring and many of you may be thinking about arranging work for the long vacation.
8
So on today's program, Roger Anwell reports on a survey we conducted into the pleasures and problems of vacation jobs.
9
Roger.
10
Thank you, Sarah.
11
Well, the first thing to say is that by far the majority of students we surveyed did just three types of jobs.
12
All of these obviously had their advantages and disadvantages.
13
Starting with stock taking in supermarkets, The thing that students said they enjoyed most about this job was the travelling,
14
They were often required to go to branches to do their stock takes, And this was regarded as an interesting plus.
15
The main negative, however, was that they tended to find the job tiring, with long hours spent on their feet and climbing high shelves.
16
Now, one thing we did ask the students in our survey
17
was whether they had any recommendations for other people taking on their job.
18
And they said, perhaps not surprisingly, get good shoes.
19
That's the only way you can keep going.
20
Another job which lots of students did was office work.
21
And the positive feature of this actually rather surprised me.
22
Until I remembered what a hot summer it was last year.
23
Lots of students named air conditioning as the best thing about office work.
24
The downside which many talked about was wearing formal clothes.
25
Obviously, this didn't go down too well with students.
26
The advice most people gave was to select a large office.
27
That way you have more variety of social contacts.
28
Otherwise, the work can get very boring.
29
The third job which had attracted large numbers of students was as a theme park attendant.
30
And again, I got a surprise here.
31
Because the big plus people talked about was good pay.
32
"'It must have improved since my day, I must say.' Anyway, the downside I did recognize, having to deal with difficult customers,
33
especially in the heat when tempers get frayed.
34
Not easy.
35
And people said that it was a good idea to live nearby, because there's a lot of shift work, and you don't have to worry about transport at difficult times of the day.
36
Before you hear the rest of the programme, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20 on page 5.
37
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
38
so those were the findings from the survey on the most common student jobs
39
But not all student jobs have to be mundane and boring.
40
One of the students who responded in our survey spoke at length about his amazing job as a zoo attendant.
41
Peter Marshall had read about work opportunities on the zoo website, and just went along with a friend to talk to someone in personnel.
42
He was offered a job there and then.
43
As easy as that.
44
In previous years, he'd done singularly unexciting shop work.
45
So he was very pleased to be doing such original work.
46
He ended up working for just under three months.
47
which was actually slightly more than he had anticipated.
48
and meant that he had to miss part of university term time.
49
But he said it was well worth it
50
because he thinks he's found his future career path as a result of this experience.
51
He loved working on the educational side, in particular helping young kids understand about the animals in their natural environment
52
He said it was the most intriguing thing he'd ever done.
53
He tells us, though, that with final exams coming up, He won't be able to do any paid work this coming vacation...
54
So, Why don't you apply?
55
If you're interested in getting further information about the findings of the survey...
56
That is the end of section two.
57
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
58
Now turn to section 3 on page 6.

FOR YOU

推薦影片

為什麼使用這個影片練習口語?

練習口語的一個有效方法是通過觀看相關影片。這段關於暑假工作的訪談中,學生們分享了他們在度假工作中的經驗和觀點。通過這樣的真實對話,您不僅能提高聽力,還能學會如何在不同的職業情境中使用英語。將這些對話內容轉化為自己的話,利用 shadow speech 和 英語影子跟讀 技巧,能夠增強口語流利度和自信心,讓您在日常交流中更加自如。

語法與表達在語境中的應用

在這個影片中,有幾個關鍵的句型和表達方式值得注意:

  • 過去完成時: “he had done singularly unexciting shop work”這個句子使用了過去完成時,強調了與他現在工作的對比。
  • 名詞性從句: “what students said they enjoyed most”,通過名詞性從句,清晰表達了學生們的觀點,是口語中常用的結構。
  • 主動與被動語態: “was offered a job there and then”,被動語態在描述經歷時很常見,幫助學習者理解工作中主動與被動的區別。
  • 條件句: “if you live nearby, you don’t have to worry about transport”,條件句在表達建議和假設時非常有效。

學習這些句型並在日常對話中實踐,能夠幫助您自信地表達個人觀點。

常見發音陷阱

在此影片中,有幾個詞彙可能對學習者造成發音上的困擾:

  • “attendant”: 這個詞的重音在第二個音節上,初學者可能會把重音放錯。
  • “interesting”: 這個單詞容易因為音節的連線而發音不清晰,提醒自己慢慢念出每一個音節。
  • “recommendations”: 學生們在提到建議時,發音時注意音節的重音和連讀,有助於提高整體的流暢性。

使用 shadowspeak 方法,您可以在模仿影片中的發音時,逐漸消除這些發音上的個別問題,增強語音的自然流暢性。

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were often required · was offered
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物students who responded
最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的the best · the most common · the most intriguing
動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞keep going · loved working

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。
