1
Part 2.
2
You will hear the managing director of a company called Stevenson's welcoming a group of work experience students.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
5
Good morning everyone and welcome to Stevenson's, one of the country's major manufacturers of metal goods.
6
Thank you for choosing us for your two weeks of work experience.
7
My name is Julia Simmons and since the beginning of this year I've been the managing director.
8
Stevenson's is quite an old company.
9
Like me, the founder, Ronald Stevenson, went into the steel industry when he left school.
10
That was in 1923.
11
He set up this company when he finished his apprenticeship in 1926,
12
although he actually started making plans two years earlier in 1924.
13
He was a very determined young man.
14
Stevenson's long-term plan was to manufacture components for the machine tools industry
15
although in fact that never came about and for the automotive industry that is cars and lorries.
16
However there was a delay of five years before that happened, because shortly before the company went into production,
17
Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals and other players in the healthcare industry.
18
So that's what we did for the first five years.
19
Over the years, we've expanded the premises considerably.
20
We were lucky that the site is big enough so moving to a new location has never been necessary.
21
However the layout is far from ideal for modern machinery
22
and production methods so we intend to carry out major refurbishment of this site over the next five years.
23
I'd better give you some idea of what you'll be doing during your two weeks with us
24
so you know what to expect.
25
Most mornings you'll have a presentation from one of the managers to learn about their department,
26
starting this morning with research and development.
27
And you'll all spend some time in each department, observing what's going on and talking to people, as long as you don't stop them from doing their work altogether.
28
In the past, a teacher from your school has come in at the end
29
of each week to find out how the group were getting on, but your school isn't able to arrange that this year.
30
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
31
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
32
OK, now I'll briefly help you to orientate yourselves around the site.
33
As you can see, we're in the reception area, which we try to make attractive and welcoming to visitors.
34
There's a corridor running left from here, and if you go along that, the door facing you at the end is the entrance to the coffee room.
35
This looks out onto the main road on one side and some trees on the other, and that'll be where you meet each morning.
36
The factory is the very big room on the far side of the site.
37
Next to it is the warehouse
38
which can be accessed by lorries going up the road to the turning area at the end.
39
You can get to the warehouse by crossing to the far side of the courtyard
40
and then the door is on your right.
41
Somewhere you'll be keen to find is the staff canteen.
42
This is right next to reception.
43
I can confidently say that the food's very good, but the view isn't.
44
The windows on one side look onto a corridor and courtyard
45
which aren't very attractive at all and on the other onto the access road which isn't much better.
46
You'll be using the meeting room quite often
47
and you'll find it by walking along the corridor to the left of the courtyard and continuing along it to the end.
48
The meeting room is the last one on the right and I'm afraid there's no natural daylight in the room.
49
Then you'll need to know where some of the offices are.
50
The Human Resources Department is at the front of this building.
51
So you head to the left along the corridor from reception and it's the second room you come to.
52
It looks out onto the main road.
53
And finally, the boardroom, where you'll be meeting sometimes.
54
That has quite a pleasant view as it looks out onto the trees.
55
Go along the corridor past the courtyard right to the end.
56
The boardroom is on the left, next to the factory.
57
OK, now, are there any questions before we move...
58
That is the end of part two.
59
Thank you.

推薦影片

通過這個影片你能學到什麼?

這個影片是練習英語聽力和口語的好素材!首先,你能學會如何清晰地介紹公司背景,比如創始人經歷、業務發展等,這對職場英語表達很有幫助。其次,它能提升你聽懂長段獨白的能力,影片中經理的講話邏輯清晰,包含時間線和地點描述,跟著練能增強對複雜資訊的理解。最後,通過模仿經理的語氣,你還能學會在正式場合中如何禮貌又自信地溝通。

注意這些發音現象

影片裡有不少連讀和弱讀現象,比如"set up"會連讀成/setʌp/,"apprenticeship in"中"in"弱讀為/ɪn/。還有"over the years"中的"over the"會連讀成/əʊvəðə/,這些都是 native speaker 常用的發音技巧。仔細聽這些細節,能幫你更好地理解真實語境中的英語,也為影子跟讀(shadow speak)打下基礎。

像母語者一樣說英語

想要模仿得像,關鍵是抓住節奏和重音。影片中經理在強調關鍵資訊時會加重語氣,比如"1926"、"major refurbishment"等,你可以跟著標註這些重音詞。另外,她的語速適中,停頓自然,比如在介紹部門安排時會稍作停頓。試試影子跟讀(shadow speech):播放一句,暫停,立刻重複,注意模仿她的語調起伏。堅持練習,你的發音會越來越地道,還能提高英語發音的準確性。

看影片學英語就是這麼有效!結合影子跟讀技巧,每天花10分鐘練習,你會發現自己的聽力和口語進步神速。別害怕出錯,大膽開口,你離流利英語更近一步啦!

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I've been · we've expanded · has never been
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的was given · can be accessed
“will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測will hear · you'll be · you'll have

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。
