1
You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman who is moving to London and an employee of a relocation service.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7.
3
Thank you.
4
London Relocation Services, Daniel speaking.
5
How may I help you?
6
Good morning.
7
My family and I are moving to London later this year and I wonder if you can help.
8
Sure.
9
First of all, I'll need to get some personal details.
10
May I take your full name, please?
11
It's Anna Woods.
12
Thanks.
13
Where are you moving from?
14
Northern Ireland, just outside Belfast, actually.
15
Right.
16
And what's your current address?
17
It's 118 Fordyce Park.
18
I'll spell that for you.
19
It's F -O -R -D -Y -C -E.
20
And that's in Ballysillon.
21
And what's the postcode?
22
It's BT149BJ.
23
Alright, and could I take a contact phone number?
24
I'll give you my mobile number as you can get me on that any time.
25
It's 07840051963.
26
Great, got that.
27
Now we always like to get a bit more information about the families that we're moving.
28
It helps with the search.
29
Are you moving for work?
30
Yes, my husband's just got a new job in London.
31
And what about you?
32
Do you work?
33
Well, I've been working as a teaching assistant recently, but I'm actually a qualified nurse and I'd like to get back into that if possible.
34
Right.
35
And do you have any children?
36
Yes, a son.
37
So we need to find a school for him.
38
Is it a secondary school you'll be looking for?
39
No, he's still in primary school.
40
He's not quite at the secondary level yet.
41
Fine.
42
So, let's go on to talk about your requirements for the property.
43
Do you have a preferred location?
44
Is your husband's job in the centre?
45
No, it's in East London, but we'd rather live somewhere quieter.
46
Sure.
47
There are some lovely areas in the south.
48
OK, that sounds great.
49
Now, my husband doesn't want to spend too long commuting to work every day.
50
So, I imagine that ideally he'd like to be not too far from a station then?
51
Yes.
52
He drives now, but I guess that's not going to be possible, and he's not keen on buses.
53
What about you or your son?
54
Do you have any preferences?
55
Does your son do any sport, for example?
56
He's quite active, so I'm sure he'd love a park nearby to run around in.
57
He doesn't do swimming or anything like that.
58
Great.
59
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10.
60
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
61
So, what sort of property do you have in mind?
62
We have friends who live in an amazing flat over there.
63
But as we've always lived in a house, I think we'll stick with that.
64
We'd find it hard to adapt to a flat.
65
OK.
66
And size -wise, how many bedrooms would you like?
67
Well, there's just myself, my husband and our son.
68
So you definitely need a two -bedroom property.
69
But how about having a guest room?
70
I might be able to find a three -bedroom property for you.
71
Yes, that would be ideal.
72
We're sure to have family visiting often.
73
All right.
74
I've made a note of that.
75
Now, are there any other requirements for your new property?
76
Well, it's not essential, but it'd be handy to have an office for when my husband works from home.
77
It doesn't need to be a big one.
78
I guess it all comes down to budget.
79
Yes.
80
Okay, Anna.
81
Well, I've certainly got enough to be getting on with, and I will...
82
That is the end of part one.
83
Thank you.
84
A manager talking to company employees about moving to a new office building.
85
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16 on page 3.
86
Thank you.
87
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
88
Thank you for coming to today's meeting, everyone.
89
I'd like to give you some information about moving to our new office building so that you know what the plans are.
90
So, first, let me explain why we're moving.
91
Even though we've taken on quite a few new employees over the last year, we still have plenty of space here,
92
but the problem is where we are.
93
But we've now found the perfect place in the city centre.
94
Originally, we chose this building in the suburbs because the rent was much cheaper, but our clients aren't always keen on coming out here.
95
I visited the new office last week, and I'm pretty sure that you'll find the greatest advantage is the huge windows.
96
I'm not sure we'll need desk lamps at all.
97
Of course, we'll have everything checked out to make sure we can control the temperature of each office,
98
and we may have to put some room dividers in some offices so that you're not disturbed by your colleagues' conversations.
99
We've just set a date for the move.
100
The finance department wanted us to wait until after the end of the tax year, April, but we've decided to move earlier.
101
As soon as the sales conference is over in January, we'll move.
102
That'll give us plenty of time to organise everything before you start taking your annual holidays.
103
We've already put quite a bit of information about the move on the company website, like restaurants and cafes around the new office,
104
but we're still checking bus routes and things like that, so transport information will be up by next Monday.
105
Another thing still to get confirmed is which car park we can use and how many people can use it.
106
OK, let's move on to some practical things you have to do now.
107
Don't worry yet about taking home your photos and things like that.
108
That can be sorted out much nearer the time, along with getting rid of any unwanted paperwork.
109
We need to find out how many new desks and chairs to order,
110
so could you make a list of any of the ones you use that are scratched or broken?
111
Just one thing, all documents containing non -confidential information can go into the general packing boxes,
112
but when it comes to documents containing confidential information, you'll need to put these in special bags.
113
You'll be given grey plastic ones for this.
114
So one thing to do now is go through your filing cabinets and identify which folders are confidential.
115
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20 on page 4.
116
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
117
Now, to help you prepare for the move, I'd like to talk about lifting heavy things.
118
You shouldn't really have to do this because a removal company will be used,
119
but you might want to move a box out of your way or something.
120
It's surprising how often people don't remember to use the handles on the boxes, although they all have them.
121
You've all had the leaflet explaining that you should keep your back straight and your head up when lifting.
122
And it also tells you to stand with your feet firmly on the ground and a little bit apart, so I think that's clear.
123
But the leaflet emphasises the importance of not twisting to the left or right once you've picked something up,
124
and if you're like me, that's easy to forget.
125
I'd also like to talk about papers.
126
If they've been stored for a long time, they can get mould on them, a sort of fungus, and as soon as you start moving them,
127
the fungus gets disturbed.
128
As you know, you can't open the windows in this building, but I suggest you use the gloves that we'll provide.
129
We'll also get some face masks, but we've been advised that these shouldn't be necessary.
130
What you should do is drink one or two litres of water a day.
131
That's essential.
132
Often the best time to do this sort of work is after your afternoon break
133
so that you can leave the building soon afterwards.
134
Now are there any questions?
135
That is the end of section 2.
136
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
137
Now turn to Section 3 on page 5.
138
Section 3 You will hear two students named Mona and Ted talking about a presentation on design development.
139
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
140
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
141
Ted, you've looked at my presentation, haven't you?
142
What do you think of it?
143
Hey, Mona.
144
Yes, I have.
145
Before giving you some advice, I have a question.
146
Why didn't you write about the development of design and its influence, or connection with social advancement, or even art movement?
147
In my opinion, this direction would have more significance.
148
Actually, I just want to focus on the history of design.
149
I'm particularly interested in its history from the 1800s.
150
That's why I wrote about it.
151
I see.
152
It could save some effort.
153
Not really.
154
I've covered different areas of design, such as building, clothing, and products.
155
It's a lot of work.
156
Right.
157
Is it because you want to give a comprehensive talk?
158
To be honest, I was worried about my teacher's reaction.
159
If I only talk about one area, she might think I've been lazy.
160
You know what?
161
Even though it's okay to talk about different aspects, I think the topic is too broad.
162
It would be hard for the listeners to focus on any specific area.
163
Um, you are right.
164
I only have about 45 minutes for the talk.
165
Maybe I should narrow the range.
166
That would be much better.
167
And you can use computer technology to assist you in your presentation.
168
like using the CAD or other computer software?
169
I'm not sure.
170
Although computer technology can improve the visual effects of my presentation, I'd rather use the traditional way since I'm talking about the history of design.
171
I guess traditional media is more affected by computers rather than designing industry.
172
That makes sense.
173
You could do it your own way.
174
As for the content, you mentioned purism, and you said it can save people's effort.
175
I don't really agree with that.
176
I think it's not really easy to achieve.
177
On the other hand, I do think it's important to apply this concept in architecture.
178
I mean, the building should look simple and elegant.
179
That's a good point.
180
Ted, what do you think I should do to further improve my talk?
181
Well, I think you have read enough books about it.
182
So, it's not the theories that you lack.
183
Why don't you visit the Design Museum in the north of the city?
184
One of my friends went there last month, and he said it was worth it.
185
I'm sure it can give you some inspiration.
186
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
187
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
188
How do you usually prepare for a presentation?
189
You have done it many times, right?
190
You can say that.
191
When I prepare for a presentation, I would first try to come up with an introduction telling the audience what my topic is.
192
It's very important to grasp people's attention and let them know what you want to talk about.
193
Okay, I think so.
194
A good beginning can mean everything.
195
Exactly.
196
Maybe you could use a story to start.
197
Step 2.
198
I would research deeper into the topic and give the audience something new.
199
Yeah, that's what I've been working on.
200
I always try to look for more related information online.
201
I want them to learn something from my presentation.
202
Since you work so hard, they will like it.
203
I noticed that you use a lot of pictures in your slides.
204
What I would do is put a statement under each picture, so the audience would know what exactly the pictures are about.
205
I just thought it would be more impressive to use only pictures.
206
All right, I will add that.
207
In the next step, you should try illustrating slide by slide.
208
Each slide should only contain one thought or idea, so all of these thoughts will link together in your illustration.
209
This step would need a lot of practice.
210
Exactly.
211
A lot of practice is needed before you stand in front of the real audience.
212
There's one final step you should not forget.
213
I suggest you prepare some text handouts with important details.
214
What are they for?
215
The audience can reflect on what you talk about in and after your presentation.
216
I've never thought about that.
217
Thank you so much.
218
Ted, you're a great help.
219
No problem, Mona.
220
That is the end of Section 3.
221
You now have half a minute to check your answers. So Section
222
4. You will hear a talk on the research of the graphical symbol.
223
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
224
Thank you.
225
Good morning everyone!
226
Today I'm going to talk about the graphical symbol.
227
A graphic symbol is a written symbol that is used to represent speech, such as those used in the Greek alphabet.
228
The term graphic symbol encompasses anything from the logographs used in Egyptian hieroglyphic writing to ancient Chinese pictograms.
229
Early symbols were based on pictographs and ideograms before they were developed into logographic writing systems.
230
These systems are still in use in some non -literate cultures in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.
231
Indeed, elements of pictography are still found in modern Chinese characters,
232
and it is often an interesting exercise to trace the origins of some Chinese characters.
233
Pictographs remain in common commercial use today as signs, instructions, or statistical diagrams.
234
Road signs and public toilet signs and even flat pack assembly instructions utilizing pictures are considered pictographic.
235
Ancient graphic writing systems provide researchers with a wealth of knowledge about past civilizations. In 1799,
236
one of the most important historical discoveries was made by accident
237
when members of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt found a stone in Rosetta that exhibited three different scripts.
238
The stone, now known as the Rosetta Stone,
239
was studied in significant depth by scholars and was first deciphered by Frenchman Jean -Francois Champollion in 1822.
240
He was able to correctly determine the phonetic values of the symbols, and later research has confirmed his findings.
241
In many of these symbols, lines are used to portray a multitude of meanings,
242
and knowledge and understanding of these lines holds the key to comprehension of graphic writing systems.
243
A key moment in the history of communication was the invention of the camera obscura, or camera.
244
Although the concept can be traced back to the 5th century BC Chinese philosopher Moa Ti,
245
the first photographic image was ultimately created in 1826 by Joseph Nissephor Nissef.
246
Photography, as it was later known, enables researchers to piece together and better understand history.
247
Today, photography forms a huge part of everyday life, and most publications contain a vast number of photographs.
248
Photography is used in advertising and is now becoming a way to increase awareness of existing world issues.
249
For example, animal welfare charities are increasingly using photography to advertise animals that are at high risk of endangerment.
250
Charity workers are sometimes flown to far -flung locations to document
251
the suffering endured by high -risk animals in an attempt to raise human awareness of their consumption activities
252
and how they impact others.
253
One recent high -profile campaign was undertaken by attaching a camera
254
to the foot of a bird in order to obtain photographs of the animals in their natural habitats
255
and understand how often they come into contact with human waste.
256
A soon -to -be -released documentary about the suffering of animals on Midway Island shows the full extent to
257
which human consumption is harming animals thousands of miles away from us.
258
As photography continues to progress, with the use of drones now becoming somewhat commonplace,
259
we should expect more and more objects to be included in the future, expanding the horizon of photography ever further.
260
Indeed, the downward pressure on traditional media prices means
261
that media companies are being forced to get creative on how to make a profit.
262
Many have found that the answer to this lies in advertising
263
and companies are now willing to devote a large portion of their budgets to advertising in newspapers
264
By the same token, marketing has become an essential part of a company's business model often meaning the success
265
or failure of a company
266
As a result, much time and money has been pumped into the development of effective branding with attractive packaging playing a large role in this.
267
However, many governments are now seen to be cracking down on marketing and packaging in an attempt to protect consumers from being misled.
268
In particular, tobacco companies are now subject to ever -increasing regulation.
269
For example, In the United Kingdom, legislation is soon to pass preventing any form of branding
270
or differentiation on cigarette packaging in efforts to curb the harmful effects of smoking.
271
Finally, one must not forget the fundamental role that graphic writing systems have had to play in mathematics.
272
Graphs, icons and diagrams often form the very basis of these branches of academia.
273
Indeed, one needs to look no further than chemistry's periodic table to see a perfect example of graphic writing systems in use today.
274
Thank you.
275
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。
