Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
2
Section 3.
3
You will hear three marketing students discussing their research findings on vehicles known as SUVs or four-wheel drive vehicles.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25 on page 6.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
6
So guys, have you got all your notes on four-wheel drive vehicles?
7
Shall we go through what we've each found and think about how we'll put it together for next week's marketing seminar?
8
Yeah, sure.
9
Let's start with what these cars were originally designed for.
10
Oh, I've got something on that here.
11
Well, four-wheel drives, or sports utility vehicles as they are officially known, SUVs for short,
12
were originally designed for off-road use by people who need to get to remote areas out in the bush, for instance.
13
But the interesting thing is that they're actually sold now to a lot of people who just use them in cities, so they make quite different use of them.
14
OK, then maybe we should make a list of their advantages, shall we?
15
So, one thing is that they're good for commercial use, OK?
16
Uh-huh.
17
How about also saying utilitarian rather than luxurious?
18
So you're not paying out for unnecessary luxuries, OK?
19
What else?
20
Well, they have increased engine capacity and they're also heavier, so suitable for towing large loads.
21
So is this why so many people buy them then?
22
Well, no. They seem to have become fashionable now for rather different reasons.
23
Research carried out by automobile clubs shows that people buy them for business because of the sort of image they project.
24
and mums like to drive their kids to school in them because they think they're safe.
25
So that's another reason.
26
And you can get about seven people into one of these, so we could say seating capacity is another factor.
27
OK, another thing that came out of my research is that people also like the higher seats.
28
They say it means they can get a better view of the traffic ahead of them.
29
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30 on page 6.
30
Thank you. to 30.
31
But, you know, some of these reasons just don't work.
32
I mean, the safety thing is just a misconception, because generally in a collision they can do terrible damage to a smaller car.
33
That's right.
34
That's one of the disadvantages I have here.
35
Shall we go through those now?
36
Good idea.
37
So, let's say that potentially they are harmful in built-up areas.
38
the damage they cause is due to their weight.
39
That's right, isn't it?
40
Yes, it is.
41
I've got a note here about their chassis.
42
The bodywork on an SUV is stiffer
43
and doesn't crumple to absorb impact in a collision the way it does in smaller cars.
44
And there's another reason why they're not safe.
45
It's quite easy for them to roll over more so than an ordinary car because they've got a high centre of gravity.
46
So these are all the disadvantages.
47
How are we going to round this up?
48
Well, erm, I think maybe we could round up with a few ideas of how we can limit the use of these SUVs.
49
One thing that could be done is to limit them to people like farmers, who can prove that they need them.
50
That's good, but it might be hard to enforce.
51
And companies could also increase the insurance for SUVs, since they cause more damage when there's an accident.
52
That's a good idea too.
53
I tell you what guys, I'll write up these notes onto an OHT so
54
that everyone can see them when we talk through our notes in the seminar.
55
But I think we need to put together a list of our sources too.
56
Can you do that?
57
Sure, no problem.
58
That is the end of section three.
59
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
60
Thank you.

本節課學習內容
本節課通過一段關於SUV的學生討論影片,幫助學習者練習聽懂英語口語中的學術討論場景,包括觀點闡述、優缺點分析及解決方案探討。學習者將提升對日常辯論性對話的理解能力,同時積累相關詞彙和表達,為英語口語交流打下基礎。
核心詞彙與短語
- SUV(Sports Utility Vehicle):運動型多用途汽車,文中簡稱“四驅車”
- off-road use:越野用途
- centre of gravity:重心(文中指SUV因重心高易翻車)
- crumple:(汽車車身)變形吸能(碰撞時的物理現象)
- enforce:執行(文中指限制SUV使用的政策難以落實)
- misconception:誤解(文中指認為SUV更安全是錯誤觀念)
- towing large loads:拖拽重物
練習技巧:影子跟讀法(Shadowing)
影子跟讀法是提升口語流利度和聽力理解的高效方法。針對本影片中學生討論的自然語速(約120-140詞/分鐘)和輕鬆口語化 tone,可採用以下步驟:
- 分步跟讀:先逐句播放,每句結束後暫停並立即重複,重點模仿連讀(如“four-wheel drive”的自然連讀)和弱讀(如“them”在句尾的輕讀)。
- 節奏匹配:影片中對話者頻繁使用短句和停頓(如“Shall we go through...?”後的停頓),跟讀時需注意節奏同步,避免搶拍或拖拍。
- 語氣模仿:關注討論中的疑問語氣(如“Is this why so many people buy them then?”)和轉折語氣(如“But it might be hard to enforce.”的輕微降調),通過模仿語氣增強口語的自然感。
- 整段複述:熟練後嘗試整段跟讀(無暫停),訓練大腦的“即時反應能力”,這對提升即時對話能力至關重要。
堅持每天用本影片進行15分鐘影子跟讀,2周後可明顯感受到聽力理解速度和口語流暢度的提升。結合“看YouTube學英語”的場景,將語言學習融入真實語境,效果更佳。
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。
