1
Part 3.
2
You will hear two students called Jeannie and Dan discussing some research on the effects of music on consumer behaviour.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
6
Hi, Dan.
7
How's it going?
8
Hello, Jeannie.
9
Pretty well, thanks.
10
Have you finished your research yet?
11
Yes, it's all done.
12
I've spent several weeks on it, from the very beginning of deciding the topic, to carrying out the research and writing the essay.
13
Congratulations!
14
Seems like a big project.
15
I know the research has to do with music, but what is it exactly about?
16
Well, at first I didn't have a specific purpose until one day I read a report
17
that said if appropriate music is played while people are eating, it may cause some changes in their behavior.
18
But the report didn't illustrate the changes in detail.
19
So I wanted to carry out a thorough investigation into this.
20
That's quite unique.
21
So how did you conduct your research?
22
I started by looking for five different restaurants
23
and then went to each of the restaurants to order some food and observe other people.
24
I mainly focused on how the music is played instead of how people eat.
25
Findings of my observations indicate that the five restaurants have something in common.
26
They all have a special section to play the music.
27
More importantly, although the music is played at different times, the volume is unchanged.
28
Sounds attractive.
29
I've never read anything about this before.
30
In addition to observation, what other research methods have you used?
31
I also distributed the survey questionnaire to people dining there.
32
What questions are posed in your questionnaire?
33
Well, the first section of the questionnaire asks subjects to indicate the number of times they have been to the restaurant previously,
34
the number of people they dine with, and whether they think they will return to the restaurant.
35
These early questions don't involve musical preferences, but largely act as distractors,
36
The intention being that subjects will be less inclined to think that the survey is about the music being played.
37
That sounds very reasonable.
38
Did you design the questionnaire by yourself?
39
Actually, no. I read an assignment a student wrote last year, which was just kept beside a dictionary in the library.
40
I came across it when I was looking something up in the dictionary.
41
Oh, you're so lucky.
42
Is there any other question included in the questionnaire?
43
Yes.
44
Subjects are also asked why they choose to dine at a particular restaurant.
45
Several reasons are listed in the questionnaire.
46
I thought people would put service first, but that's not the case.
47
Only about 12 percent of them have chosen this reason,
48
while the majority of respondents think whether they will pick this restaurant depends on how many available seats it has.
49
They think it's terrible to eat in a crowded place.
50
Yes, everyone wants to enjoy a meal comfortably.
51
Then I guess maybe the location of a restaurant is an important factor, since no one likes to waste too much time on the way?
52
It used to be, but nowadays nearly every household has a private car, so they don't have to be worried about the traffic problem.
53
What I find interesting, however, is that a large percentage of people say they will compare different restaurants in the neighborhood,
54
on the Internet first.
55
If one of them stands out from its rivals, they will choose it.
56
Wow, that's really interesting.
57
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
58
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
59
What else then?
60
Well, the second section of the questionnaire asks subjects to respond to the music being played by rating
61
so that the relationship between music and perceived atmosphere could be examined directly, as a means of examining purchase intention,
62
the final section of the questionnaire asks them to indicate the
63
maximum amount of money they are prepared to spend on their main meal.
64
Dr. So what have you finally discovered?
65
I collected all the questionnaires and analysed people's answers to get a clear idea of their reactions to different music conditions.
66
The result shows that music has become an indispensable part of restaurants.
67
If people find there isn't any music during the meal, they will think the restaurant charges too much.
68
Yes, now music is everywhere in our life.
69
Is there any difference in people's attitudes towards different musical styles?
70
Yes.
71
Most people think that if jazz is being played when eating, they tend to stay at the restaurant longer
72
and order more food to enjoy the music
73
but this is quite the opposite of what happens
74
when classical music is played many customers think
75
if the restaurant plays classical music they wouldn't like to stay there for another minute
76
but to finish the food quickly and hurry away
77
because they don't like this type of music at all and lastly about pop music very popular these days,
78
especially among young people, as I've noticed in restaurants.
79
They like listening to this type of music during their meals.
80
As a result, this greatly increases the possibility of their presence at the same restaurant.
81
Great.
82
I've learned a lot from your research.
83
I think it's meaningful and innovative.
84
Thanks for telling me, Jeannie.
85
You're welcome, Dan.
86
That is the end of part three.
87
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
通過觀看《第1卷 - 測試9 - 第3部分》影片,英語學習者可以獲得有關消費行為與音樂之間關係的深入討論。這種真實對話的模擬提供了一個絕佳的雅思口語練習環境,使學生能夠在輕鬆的氛圍中提高他們的口語能力與反應速度。通過傾聽Jeannie和Dan的交流,學習者不僅能夠了解如何在學術研究中討論主題,還可以體會到日常對話中的語氣、情感與互動技巧。
語法和表達在語境中的運用
在影片中,有幾個關鍵的語法結構和表達方式值得注意:
- Have you finished your research yet? - 使用現在完成時態,詢問某項任務是否完成,體現了對當前狀態的關注。
- I wanted to carry out a thorough investigation into this. - 使用了過去時,強調了研究的目的和決心,加深了表達的情感。
- Subjects are also asked why they choose to dine at a particular restaurant. - 使用被動語態,使句子更加客觀,適合學術討論語境。
這些語法結構與表達在雅思口語練習中常常被使用,對於幫助學生理解如何在實際對話中使用這些形式非常有幫助。
常見發音陷阱
在這個影片中,一些單詞和短語可能會在發音上造成困擾,例如:
- restaurant - 這個詞常常被錯誤地發音,尤其是音節的重讀部分。確保在發音時強調第二個音節。
- behavior - 注意發音中的重音,通常是在第二個音節上,加強練習在口語中使用的流利度。
- appropriate - 這個多音節單詞在發音時需要注意母音的清晰度,尤其是在日常口語中,往往被快速吞音。
通過認真傾聽並模仿影片中的發音,學習者能夠有效提升他們的英語發音,配合shadow speech技巧,幫助他們在雅思口語練習中取得更好的進步。
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 | is played · are posed · being played |
| 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 | Have you finished · I've spent · I've never read |
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。
