1
Section 2 You will hear a radio programme about starting a business.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
4
Good evening.
5
My name is Arthur Jones.
6
I'm very glad to have this opportunity to speak to you over the radio.
7
The host asked me to give a talk about my experience of starting my own business.
8
I can't say my business is successful, but there are some things that I want to share with you, which I think will be helpful if you want to start your own company.
9
I've talked to many young people, and they told me that they are afraid of making mistakes when they start their business.
10
What I want to say is that mistakes are very common, especially when you do something new.
11
Mistakes can actually show you where you need to improve, so you can take actions about them
12
and use the chance to learn new methods this is a
13
very important attitude you should have besides most mistakes are not
14
that fatal don't be too anxious
15
when they occur next I want to go on to talk about self-confidence
16
which is quite important in achieving business success being self-confident means
17
that you can have faith in yourself and what you do self-confidence can be gained through hard work, even playing sports.
18
However, sometimes self-confidence may make you ignore problems and even cause failure.
19
Business leaders should remain calm and not take impulsive actions.
20
I know that when people start their business, they have confusions.
21
They don't know how they can be more professional.
22
They read business journals or watch related videos, but these don't seem to help sometimes.
23
My suggestion is that, instead of aimlessly trying many new things, they should always be committed to their goal.
24
As long as they stick to it, they will not be easily distracted or confused by other things, and they are sure to get better.
25
We will all meet difficulties, especially at the beginning.
26
We can't always rely on ourselves to solve all the problems.
27
I had a problem with marketing earlier this year.
28
Luckily, I found an expert to help me deal with it.
29
So there's always a way, but we should know how and when to seek help from these people.
30
Business leaders have different kinds of styles.
31
Some are very good at public speaking, others are very down to earth and have strong executive skills.
32
But in general, they should be able to win the respect from their employees
33
so that they can carry out their orders more easily.
34
There are times when a company might face risks.
35
During such times, leaders will need to take prompt actions and they can't always plan for distant future.
36
Leaders should analyse and deal with the risks with caution.
37
If they bear this in mind, there is always a way out.
38
Before you hear the rest of the radio programme, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
39
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
40
At the beginning of my business, I experimented with quite a few strategies, hoping to find out the best solution for my business.
41
Here is what I found.
42
At first, my company wanted to work out prices for the products and make them realistic.
43
However, prices are always changing, so they can't be fixed.
44
Another thing I always keep in mind is that leaders must stay committed to their jobs.
45
Without enough commitment, you may easily give up when problems happen.
46
I have some friends whose businesses didn't survive during difficult times.
47
It wasn't because they were stupid, it was just a lack of commitment.
48
I can't always be sure that my products or services are better than my competitors, but I pay attention to details and try to improve all the little things,
49
as they can actually make a big difference.
50
You might worry that you don't have a very clear and sophisticated business strategy.
51
Personally, I don't think it's a problem, because you will be changing them all the time anyway.
52
In terms of support, at any stage, we do need support from others to back up our business.
53
The support can really make a difference.
54
Before I started my business, my family helped me a lot, both financially and mentally.
55
There were also people who gave me advice on how to run businesses successfully.
56
However, these advice and ideas were not so practical to me, so I didn't really use them.
57
Looking back, I felt lucky that I followed my own way of thinking.
58
Also, I was short of funds back then, and I loaned money from the bank to start my company.
59
I was grateful for that.
60
That's what I want to share in today's program.
61
If you have any questions for me, please send it to my email which is...
62
That is the end of section 2.
63
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

本節課學習內容
本節課圍繞一段關於創業的電臺節目展開,學習者將通過練習提升聽力理解與口語表達能力。內容涵蓋創業心態、自信心培養、專業能力提升等實用話題,適合想要鍛鍊商務英語聽力與口語的學習者。通過模仿節目中的對話,不僅能積累商務詞彙,還能掌握自然的語音語調。
核心詞彙與短語
- fatal:致命的,嚴重的
- impulsive actions:衝動行為
- executive skills:執行能力
- prompt actions:迅速行動
- sophisticated business strategy:複雜的商業策略
影子跟讀(Shadow Speak)練習技巧
影子跟讀(shadowspeak)是提升英語發音與口語流暢度的有效方法。針對本節目的語速與語調,可採用以下技巧:
- 逐句跟讀,注重節奏:節目語速適中,帶有自然的口語停頓。練習時先逐句播放,聽完後立即跟讀,模仿說話者的停頓與重音,尤其注意“mistakes are very common”這類短句的輕重變化,有助於提高英語發音的自然度。
- 抓住邏輯重音,強化語義:說話者在強調觀點時會加重語氣,如“mistakes can actually show you where you need to improve”中的“actually”和“improve”。跟讀時突出這些詞彙,能更好地理解語義,同時提升口語表達的感染力。
- 重複難點句式,突破流暢性:對於“Business leaders should remain calm and not take impulsive actions”這類較長句式,可多次重複跟讀,重點練習連讀與弱讀(如“and not”的連讀),逐步縮短與原音的時間差,增強影子說話(shadow speech)的連貫性。
堅持每天15分鐘的影子跟讀(shadowspeaks)練習,結合對本節目的針對性訓練,能有效提升口語表達能力,讓你的英語發音更標準、流暢。
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 | can be gained · will not be easily distracted · can't be fixed |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who gave · email which is |
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。
