Hello, I'm Rob.
3
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
4
I've got Finn with me today.
5
Hello, Finn.
6
Hi, Rob.
7
How's it going?
8
Oh, right.
9
You might notice it's a bit noisier than usual.
10
That's because we're in our open-plan office.
11
Yes, it's a big room full of desks with no walls between them,
12
them and as I look around I can see maybe about 50 colleagues working very hard at their computers.
13
And today we're talking about open plan offices and learning some language related to office life.
14
That's right, Rob, but shall we just go back into the studio where it's a bit quieter?
15
Good idea.
16
Let's go.
17
Right, come in here.
18
That's better.
19
That's good isn't it?
20
Yes.
21
Right.
22
Rob, a question?
23
OK.
24
OK.
25
You know a lot about sound, don't you?
26
Well, a bit.
27
OK.
28
So, what do we call the kind of noise that contains the full range of sounds that humans can hear?
29
Is it A.
30
White noise, B.
31
Green noise, or C.
32
Pink noise?
33
Good question.
34
I'm only familiar with the term white noise, so I'll go for A, white noise.
35
OK, well, we'll see if you're right at the end of the programme.
36
So, shall we continue talking about offices?
37
Yes.
38
Millions of people, like us, work in open plan offices these days, but they're not new.
39
Do you remember Henry Ford, the American industrialist from the late 19th century and early 20th century?
40
Yes, he owned factories and he made the famous Ford cars.
41
He's also one of the main names in the story of open plan offices.
42
Yes.
43
Now, Henry Ford was really concerned with efficiency, wasn't he?
44
Yes.
45
Efficiency is one of the main reasons for open plan offices.
46
They increase communication and collaboration among staff.
47
Now, a company's staff, its employees, they work together for the same goals.
48
They collaborate, exchanging information and ideas.
49
Now, this can be nice, but there can be too many of us in a small space.
50
Franklin Becker, social psychologist at Cornell University in the US, thinks the reason open plan offices have become acceptable and popular,
51
or, as he says, the reason they have taken root, is different.
52
What reason does he give?
53
The fundamental reason why open plan has taken root has nothing to do really with communication or collaboration or even flexibility.
54
It has to do with the fact
55
that you can reduce the amount of space per person in an open plan versus any kind of a closed cellular office.
56
Well, it's all about saving space and money.
57
He says it takes less space per person in an open plan office than it does in a cellular office.
58
Now that's an office which is made up of lots of small closed rooms.
59
In those offices, the space for each individual per person is limited, which is why open plan offices have taken root.
60
So, some very good reasons for open plan offices, but what about the noise?
61
Ah, the noise, yes.
62
Although open plan offices can save a company money, they have hidden costs.
63
Sound expert Julian Treasure explains what they are.
64
He uses a very important word for business.
65
Which word is it?
66
Nobody can understand two people talking at the same time.
67
We have bandwidth for about 1.6 people talking.
68
Now, that's key when we're talking about open plan offices, because if I'm trying to do work, it requires me listening to a voice in my head to organise symbols,
69
to organise a flow of words and put them on paper, for example.
70
And if you're talking at the same time, then you're taking out one of my 1.6, and I'm left with 0.6 in my head.
71
That doesn't work very well.
72
It reduces my productivity dramatically.
73
Ah, so the word right at the end there was productivity.
74
Workers in open plan offices get distracted when others speak,
75
and their ability to produce work, their productivity, is reduced.
76
The expert says we can concentrate on 1.6 voices saying different things at the same time.
77
That's not even two people.
78
No, well, not really.
79
There's one voice.
80
He says, one voice is in your head to organise the flow, the movement of words and ideas when you think and write.
81
And the other is, well, people like you on the phone all the time.
82
Oh, come on, Rob.
83
I suppose I do speak on the phone quite a lot.
84
But I didn't know I was disturbing your work.
85
You are.
86
Well, sorry.
87
Shall we go back to the question I asked earlier?
88
OK.
89
Well, I asked you about the colour of noise that contains the full range of sounds that humans can hear.
90
Was it white, green or pink noise?
91
Yes, and I went for white noise.
92
The answer is, in fact, pink noise.
93
That's the name scientists give noise.
94
Interesting colour.
95
The full range of audio frequencies or sounds that humans can hear.
96
OK.
97
Well, it's almost time to go, but could you remind us of some of the English words we heard today? Of course.
98
We heard...
99
Thanks, Finn.
100
Well, that's it for this programme.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
