You will hear an interview with a musician called Gerald Harding, who's talking about his career.

For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
who has come to tell us about how he began his career as a musician.
8
Hello.
9
Well, first of all, Gerald, how did your interest in music begin?
10
My father was a violinist in an orchestra, and from an early age, I would go with him when they were rehearsing for concerts.
11
I would sit with the violinists and listen.
12
I learned a lot, and everyone was very kind to me.
13
I actually composed my first piece of music for the violin when I was six years old.
14
My father treasured it.
15
And when did you start playing in public?
16
When I was around eight years old, my father started playing in a small orchestra at a holiday resort in the summer.
17
All the family went with him.
18
It was on the coast, and that way we had a break we couldn't have afforded otherwise.
19
I sometimes went along to performances, and I played in my first concert there at the age of 11, just for fun.
20
My mother also played the piano in a hotel in the evenings.
21
So your mother was a musician too.
22
Tell us about her.
23
Sure.
24
She was an amazing pianist.
25
She knew all the music she played by heart, everything, and that was after playing it through just a couple of times to get it right.
26
I learned that from her and that's what I do on the violin too.
27
Because I don't have to read the notes, I can concentrate on my playing and avoid errors.
28
And what made you interested in conducting?
29
From the very start, conductors fascinated me a great deal.
30
I dreamt of becoming one from the first time I saw an orchestra.
31
When I listened to recordings at home, I would conduct them, but my father insisted that I become a violinist, and he also taught me.
32
So that's what I did, but I never gave up my old dream.
33
You studied music at one of the best colleges.
34
Did you enjoy it?
35
I could do the violin playing anyway, of course, which my father had taught me, but then so could everyone else.
36
And naturally, I perfected my technique at college and broadened the range of music I played.
37
But some of the others found the discipline and commitment required of us too demanding.
38
But because of my upbringing, I was used to that.
39
So what happened when you left college?
40
Well, just when I was about to start a career as a violinist, I started learning to be a conductor, too.
41
Even after college, I needed to carry on improving, so I was having private lessons with a professional violinist.
42
And his wife, although not a professional musician, taught me conducting technique.
43
She insisted that I took lessons from a teacher she knew who had many well-known conductors as students.
44
He himself wasn't a well-known conductor, but as an instructor, he was the best and very enthusiastic.
45
Since then, you've become well-known as both a violinist and a conductor.
46
Has it been difficult to have both these careers?
47
On the contrary, I've learned so much from the conductors I've played with as a violin soloist.
48
Even when one plays the same violin piece often, it's still always different every time.
49
One can therefore learn a great deal, especially as I have had the good fortune to practically always play under the best conductors in the world.
50
And I haven't only learned from seeing and hearing them, but I've always taken the time to consult them, to discuss the smallest details with them,
51
and to continuously improve myself.
52
Well, unfortunately we've run out of time, but thank you very much.
53
It's been a great pleasure speaking to you, and the very best of luck in the future.
54
Thank you.
55
Now you'll hear part four again.
56
We are very pleased to welcome the violinist and conductor, Gerald Harding, who has come to tell us about how he began his career as a musician.
57

I shall remind you when there is one minute left so that you're sure to finish in time.

FOR YOU

推薦影片

通過這個影片你能學到什麼

這個影片中的訪談對話能幫助你提升兩項關鍵口語技能:一是如何清晰講述個人經歷,比如Gerald分享職業生涯時的時間線梳理和細節描述;二是在對話中自然轉換話題,主持人與嘉賓的互動展示瞭如何流暢銜接不同問題。此外,對於準備雅思口語練習的學習者,這種真實的訪談場景能有效訓練你應對“職業與興趣”類話題的表達能力。

需要注意的連讀與弱讀現象

影片中存在不少常見的連讀和弱讀,比如“used to that”中“used to”弱讀為/juːst tə/,“carry on improving”中“carry on”連讀為/ˈkæri ɒn/。這些語音現象能幫助你更好地適應真實英語聽力場景,同時也為提高英語發音打下基礎。建議反覆聽辨這些細節,模仿其發音方式。

像母語者一樣表達:節奏與重音

想要掌握母語者的表達節奏,可嘗試shadow speak(影子跟讀)技巧。比如Gerald在說“but I never gave up my old dream”時,重音落在“never”和“old dream”上,通過強調這些詞來突出堅持夢想的決心。跟讀時要注意模仿這種重音分佈,同時關注句子的停頓,比如在“Even after college, I needed to carry on improving”中,“Even after college”後稍作停頓,使表達更自然。長期練習能讓你的口語更具韻律感,提升整體表達效果。

無論是看YouTube學英語還是日常練習,結合這些技巧都能讓你的英語學習更高效。通過分析影片中的語音、語調和表達邏輯,你能逐步提升口語的準確性和流暢度。

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。
