Part 3.
2
You will hear part of a discussion between two drama students called Charles and Lorna about a songwriting course.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
Hi Charles, I'm writing my report on the songwriting course for drama students.
6
You know, the one-week residential course for drama students from different universities where you learn about writing songs.
7
You did that course last year, didn't you?
8
Could you give me some tips for the report?
9
I'm having a few problems with it.
10
Yes, it was great.
11
Well, Lorna, you could start by thinking about what you got out of it.
12
Hmm, evaluating how useful it was is simple.
13
The challenge is not to go over length.
14
Referring to published sources might help.
15
That would make it more scholarly, too okay i'll go with that
16
and saying why you did the songwriting course is important some
17
people just do it as another string to their bow to help with auditions for work
18
and things i thought it was a good opportunity to try out new techniques for communicating feelings
19
and emotions i was already confident about singing before I did it.
20
I thought it was the location of the course which made it special, being held in a country house rather than in a university.
21
They were doing some building work on part of the house, though, so it wasn't always easy to concentrate.
22
I enjoyed the workshop most.
23
How about you?
24
Well, we were divided into six small groups for the afternoon, each with their own advisor.
25
That was the best bit for me, having that discussion with an expert.
26
When we got into pairs to start writing our songs, the idea was to combine people with different levels of knowledge and experience.
27
But my partner preferred working on her own generally.
28
And what did you think of the course content?
29
I hadn't realised before how important the structure of a song is to its success.
30
Yes.
31
We learned it's no use writing the most beautiful words and melodies if there's no shape.
32
And we learned about the importance of a chorus in a song.
33
I knew about that stuff from my singing classes.
34
It's a bit obvious, isn't it?
35
I suppose so.
36
It was the input on lyrical styles and forms that I found tedious.
37
You could always look them up on the web.
38
Anyway, how did you get on with writing your song?
39
It was tough, and Peggy, my partner, was hard work,
40
which wasn't funny, and writing was a slow process as a result of our lack of communication.
41
By the time we finished, I was exhausted.
42
Writing music from the heart is like that, especially by the end of a course.
43
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
44
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
45
Well, that's got the report sorted, thanks.
46
Have you decided which teachers' workshops you're going to do next term?
47
I want to do Bob Lacey's.
48
He's got a brilliant reputation for voice coaching.
49
You know, getting us to use dialects and different pronunciation and stuff.
50
He gets you to do things like weed out a newspaper article in character.
51
It's amazing.
52
I'm thinking of going to Evelyn Chance's workshop.
53
Oh, Evelyn.
54
She's quite a character.
55
Is she running the stage fights course again?
56
Yes, fencing and pretend punches and throwing techniques.
57
She really knows how to help actors use the whole of the space available.
58
Lots of people like Ted Winter's workshop.
59
He knows how to deliver.
60
He's keen on actors conveying emotion through their bodies and faces alone.
61
It's a great way to reveal complex relationships and situations to an audience without making a speech of any kind.
62
I'm definitely going to sign up for that one.
63
If you want to understand a director's ideas, Kevin Gray's workshop would be perfect for you.
64
He likes telling people what to do, and he's always saying, you can't have a company of actors reading a play any way they want, because they'd end up fighting amongst themselves.
65
They must listen to the director.
66
What about Dorothy Thomas?
67
She's good at activities for getting rid of stress, and, you know, emptying your mind of all thoughts about the past, and that can really help when acting.
68
Well, I think I'll put my name down for...
69
That is the end of Part 3.
70
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 3.
71
Thank you.

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。
