1
You will hear a telephone conversation between a hotel manager and a woman who is inquiring about wedding arrangements.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
4
Hello, Clarence House.
5
Oh, hello.
6
I'm getting married next year and I understand you're licensed to hold weddings at the hotel.
7
Yes, we are.
8
Can I ask what date you were thinking of?
9
Either the 1st or the 7th of June.
10
Right, let me see.
11
Oh, I'm afraid we already have a booking for the 7th, but we still have availability on June the 1st. That would be fine.
12
So, how many guests are you going to be inviting? About 80.
13
So, for that number, we'd recommend the Oxford Suite.
14
I don't know if you've been to the hotel.
15
Yes.
16
In fact, I went to a wedding there a few years ago and I was really impressed.
17
Very good.
18
I think we were in the Oxford Suite then.
19
The room where we were eating had big windows with really good views you could see right across the city.
20
That's it.
21
And you'd have exclusive access to the garden.
22
It'll be at its best in June.
23
So we could have the photos there.
24
Sure.
25
In fact, you can even have the ceremony there if you want.
26
It makes a lovely background.
27
Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
28
Yes, that's certainly an idea.
29
And is there somewhere for dancing?
30
Yes, there's plenty of space in the middle of the dining room.
31
Oh, yeah, I remember now.
32
So, just to give you an idea, would you like me to tell you about our special wedding package?
33
Sure.
34
Right.
35
So, for 80 guests, you'd have the exclusive use of the Oxford suite, as I said, and then a meal,
36
so that would be in the dining room, and that would be a sit -down meal with three courses.
37
And how's the room arranged?
38
I seem to remember you have round tables.
39
That's right.
40
Most people prefer them to long tables.
41
Long tables aren't really very friendly, are they?
42
And what about decorations on the tables?
43
They're included in the package.
44
And we have white linen tablecloths and white chair covers.
45
And we also include an individually designed menu specially printed for you.
46
It's something that people can take away to remember the occasion.
47
That's something we've just started doing this year.
48
Oh, right.
49
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
50
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
51
And then, towards the end of the evening, when everyone's beginning to run out of energy, we bring in a buffet.
52
Nothing too complicated.
53
Just a selection of sandwiches together with tea or coffee.
54
That's always very popular.
55
Right.
56
And we want some music.
57
Is that included in the package?
58
No, but we could probably get you a DJ.
59
Or we know of a very good band if you'd prefer that.
60
Yes, that'd be better, actually.
61
Something to get everyone on their feet.
62
Good so apart from the music he said that's an all -inclusive package
63
so how much does that package come to five thousand nine hundred and ninety five pounds
64
That's a bit more than the package they quoted for me at the Stanley Hotel.
65
Theirs was £4 ,500.
66
Yes, but I think if you look at what you're getting for the money, you'll find we're the best value.
67
And it is a big day after all.
68
Yes, you're probably right.
69
Oh, and I nearly forgot.
70
I'm looking for someone who can make me a really special cake.
71
Can you suggest one?
72
Certainly.
73
There's a new company that we've started using.
74
They're very good.
75
In fact, our wedding coordinator will be able to give you all sorts of advice.
76
We can offer you a free consultation and a tour of the venue.
77
Yes, well, I'd definitely be interested.
78
Right.
79
Well, the coordinator's name is Sarah Izzard.
80
That's I -Z -A -R -D.
81
Now, when would you like to meet her?
82
She's available from nine to five most weekdays, or later if that's more convenient.
83
Er, I'm free on the 12th of October, in the morning sometime, or the 15th of October.
84
That would be better, thanks.
85
Shall we say 11 .30?
86
Fine.
87
And can I just take your name and a contact number?
88
That is the end of part one.
89
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
90
Thank you.
91
Part 2
92
You will hear a tour guide talking to a group of visitors about a farmers and growers market in a small
93
New Zealand village.
94
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
95
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
96
Welcome everyone to this farmers and growers market in the quiet village of Havelock North.
97
My name is Helen and I'm your guide for the morning.
98
Before I let you go off and explore,
99
I'll just tell you a few things first which will help you know both what sort of products you will find here,
100
there's everything from fresh produce to handcrafts, and then how to find your way around.
101
Right, so what do people sell here?
102
Well, for a start, there's some very nice hand cream from the far north which is always a top seller abroad
103
Those of you visitors who come from other countries may like to take it back home with you as presents
104
because the packaging is branded
105
New Zealand and has pretty pictures on it of our native flowers
106
now there's also some very tasty jam available although
107
because it's made from blueberries this product is quite dear
108
so you'll have to spend a little more than usual still very delicious though
109
and for those of you who like your bath products gentle
110
and suitable for sensitive skin there are some non -allergenic soaps here not perfumed or coloured just simple soap through and through,
111
made by hand the old -fashioned way with nothing artificial added.
112
Ah, now there are the candles for sale at a very reasonable price.
113
They probably represent the top buy if you want your dollar to stretch as far as possible.
114
They're just the colour of wax so that's not too exciting.
115
but they do come in all different sizes to suit different purposes.
116
Um, just a couple more items for me to tell you about.
117
There's great flavoured ice cream on offer.
118
In fact, it's so good that it's classified export grade and was awarded the gold medal at this year's food fair.
119
You should try some.
120
And finally, we've got shampoo, which comes in cute little blue, green and red bottles for three different hair types.
121
The best thing about this product is
122
that it's produced right here in Havelock North Village by a farmer's wife who started her own company.
123
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
124
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
125
Right, so that's given you an idea of the sorts of products which are on sale at this market.
126
Now, let's just give you a quick rundown on where to find everything.
127
Then I'll let you go for a walk around to do your shopping.
128
As you enter the market, through the gate here in front of us, at the bottom of the map you've been given,
129
you'll see immediately that the farmers have set up their stalls out in a square in the middle of the vineyard.
130
I know a few of you are interested in buying wooden handicrafts.
131
So just to let you know that the stall is located on the far side of the walking track, opposite the entrance.
132
There are some lovely toys for sale there, and also hand -carved wooden platters and bowls.
133
Now the first one you'd see, to your left after entering, tucked away there by the gate,
134
is the China Store, where there's an interesting display of old, second -hand or antique teacups and saucers.
135
What else?
136
Oh yes, the wool shop for those of you who are wanting to take home a New Zealand sheepskin rug
137
or a woolly jersey for the winter can be found on your immediate right after you've gone in the entrance.
138
There are some nice scarves and hats there too.
139
Now after all this shopping you'll be needing a drink and something to eat.
140
So go into the circular stand in the middle and you'll find a stall selling local wine, fruit juices and cordials.
141
and that's the one at the centre top furthest away from the main gate
142
and also a store with lots of snack food to keep you going
143
Well, that's all from me folks
144
Now, enjoy the market
145
That is the end of part 2
146
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 2
147
Part 3 You will hear two graduate students called Jen and Bill discussing the write -up of their group project.
148
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
149
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
150
What's up, Jen?
151
How are you?
152
Oh, hey, Bill.
153
Where's everybody else?
154
I don't know.
155
You're the first to get here.
156
Well, I hope they don't take too long.
157
I have a class at noon.
158
Why don't we at least discuss what we've completed and what's left to do?
159
Sounds like a plan.
160
Have you heard anything from Irene?
161
Yeah, Irene told me the experiment is just about done.
162
She's been practically living in the lab the past week.
163
Wow, we owe her a favor, don't we?
164
You can say that again.
165
Has Kim been helping her?
166
I thought that lab work was not her style.
167
Well, not so much in the lab, but she has started compiling the data for the analysis.
168
Kim is terrific.
169
I hate doing stats.
170
I've always been bad at math.
171
I always thought there wasn't anything to that boys are good at math theory.
172
Yes, and I'm proof.
173
Anyway, Kim hasn't actually run the stats for the project yet, since she still has to wait for the rest of the experiment data.
174
But she's ready to get started when we get the experiment done.
175
Seriously, without Irene and Kim, we'd be in trouble.
176
Yeah, you're right about that.
177
So, what about Linda?
178
What's she been up to? Who knows?
179
All she ever talks about is her fiancé.
180
I haven't seen or heard from her all week.
181
Well, I hope she turns up soon.
182
We'll need everyone if we're going to get this done on time.
183
Yeah, and she knows that
184
Professor Cooper is a hard grader of projects.
185
I'm worried that
186
Professor Cooper is not going to give us a passing grade.
187
Anyway, we haven't talked about the introduction yet.
188
Have you finished reading those articles
189
Professor Cooper gave us?
190
Bill, she gave us those two weeks ago
191
Hey, I've been busy
192
And I haven't
193
Come on, Bill Jen, you know we all depend on you for that
194
You're the only person I know that reads every assignment from beginning to end
195
You and Professor Cooper often have private discussions about readings in the middle of class
196
But hey, I'm not complaining
197
That's why all the rest of us asked you to be on our team
198
Oh, so that's why
199
So it wasn't because I'm popular, huh?
200
Hey, you're the best.
201
No one's going to argue that.
202
Hey, I'm thirsty.
203
You want something to drink?
204
No, I'm good.
205
Okay, I'll be right back.
206
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
207
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
208
They're still not here?
209
Nope, and I've got a class I gotta get to.
210
Well, let's divide up responsibilities, like who's responsible for each section.
211
It only makes sense that
212
Irene writes up all the materials and methods, since she spent the most time with that.
213
Aw, that's easy.
214
Hey, didn't you just say we owe her one?
215
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
216
Irene can do the methodology section.
217
Do you want to do the results?
218
Not at all.
219
I thought Kim would do that.
220
Just because she is good at stats doesn't mean she'll be good at writing it up.
221
And besides, you are the one good at copy editing.
222
Well, all the same, I think it'll be easiest if she does the results section.
223
I'll edit the whole report.
224
Come on.
225
That's asking a lot of you.
226
Well, what part are you going to do, Jen?
227
Isn't that obvious?
228
Since I'm the one who does all the reading.
229
I'm sure you'll give us the best literature review, Jen.
230
We're all counting on you for that.
231
I guess that leaves the discussion section and the bibliography.
232
Yeah.
233
Can you make suggestions on these?
234
Okay, but seriously, wouldn't it make more sense if you do the list of references?
235
There are enough commas, capital letters, and parentheses to keep you happy in there.
236
Yeah, you got a point.
237
It sure does make sense that I do the bibliography.
238
I guess Linda could handle the discussion section, even if she hasn't been around much.
239
Yeah, but isn't that like the most important section?
240
Well, what else is she going to do?
241
The whole paper.
242
It'll serve her right.
243
Then we'd all fail.
244
Okay, but I think we all should start messaging her to make sure she gets busy.
245
The discussion section can be long.
246
What about the abstract?
247
You really don't want me to do the abstract, do you?
248
That's not the point.
249
I just think that the abstract should be for whoever finishes first.
250
Right.
251
That is the end of Part 3.
252
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 3.
253
You Part
254
4 You will hear a lecture on the influence of the car on urban development.
255
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
256
Thank you.
257
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
258
Good morning, everyone.
259
Today, in this second lecture of the series, we turn our attention to transportation.
260
In particular, we're going to take a look at the way the motor car influenced urban development in Australia
261
and changed our lifestyle from the 1940s to the end of the 1990s.
262
The car is so common nowadays that we all take it for granted,
263
and we barely think about the major effect it has had on our society.
264
But let's go back for a while to the late 1940s.
265
Although they had been around since the start of the 20th century,
266
only one person in eight owned a car in Australia's major cities at that time.
267
Nearly 60 % of journeys were still made by various means of public transport, and only 15 % by car,
268
which is clearly very few compared to statistics now.
269
Buses were very crowded in the days before extensive car use, and they were also considered to be uncomfortable,
270
despite providing a cheap option that most people could afford.
271
Remember, this wasn't long after the Second World War.
272
People were tired of living without things, of making do, and to them, cars represented freedom.
273
But even for the wealthy few who did have vehicles, it wasn't easy to run a car at this time.
274
As well as the expense of buying a car, spare parts were difficult to get, as many were imported.
275
Another problem for car owners was that fuel was still rationed and car taxes were very high.
276
Strong public feeling on issues like these from various pressure groups
277
resulted in a change of government in Australia after the general election in 1949, which undoubtedly shaped the future of our nation.
278
In the 1960s, cheaper, more reliable cars became available and this coincided with the rapid expansion of the suburbs
279
The car enabled these to grow in all directions far beyond the train lines laid down in the 19th century
280
For the previous 150 years, the city centre had been a prestigious area but the addition of cars made the main streets congested.
281
This wasn't the only problem.
282
Now they were polluted as well.
283
Since these streets were usually straight, they tempted motorists to speed.
284
So the layout of newer streets was affected by this change towards private transport.
285
In the newer areas, roads were no longer built straight.
286
Instead, they had curves that were specially designed to force drivers to slow down.
287
This meant they were longer, but this was not a problem because people rarely walked anymore.
288
By the 1970s, the type of roads being built changed, with more lanes in each direction.
289
There were more commuters, because now there was faster access to the city where they worked.
290
By this time, the motor car was affecting many different areas of life.
291
It even, surprisingly, affected relationships.
292
Before this, meeting anyone who lived beyond walking or cycling distance was impractical, if not impossible.
293
The car brought people together.
294
What other effects did the car have?
295
The increase in car use changed the way we advertise.
296
Previously, advertisements had been designed to attract slow -moving pedestrians, so they were located at eye level and designed on a human scale.
297
By the late 1970s, massive advertisements were designed to attract the notice of the passing motorist.
298
In the 1980s and 90s, even the location of shops began to change.
299
We built shopping malls out in the suburbs, which meant that old town centres did far less business.
300
next we saw the development of drive -in shopping centers theaters
301
and even restaurants
302
which now ensure we get out of our cars as little as possible
303
now i'd like to turn your attention to a few statistics related to car ownership over the same period
304
that is the end of part four you now have one minute to check your answers to part four Thank you.
305
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。
