正在创建课程...
1
Bosses at the marketing company I was working for require all graduate trainees to do an MBA
2
when they reach a certain level.
3
I set out intending to return to work with more well -rounded business skills, But it actually proved a real opportunity to stop and think.
4
I met my future business partner on the course and we had the same idea.
5
giving businesswomen a more fashionable alternative to wearing suits.
6
The course was a real springboard.
7
We acquired essential skills, worked on our business plan and, crucially, built up a valuable network of contacts.
8
We've been running our business full time for six months now, and it's the best thing that could have happened.
9
Speaker 2.
10
I'm an international account manager and I wanted to move up the ranks in the company, so I signed up for a part -time business management course to gain a further qualification.
11
I quickly found I could apply the things I learned to my job
12
and talk to my fellow students about challenges I was facing at work, and they'd help me find solutions.
13
I soon got a job offer with an IT company as a result of my networking and now travel the world
14
Only due to the skills I've learned, and partly because of the people I've encountered, their advice and introductions have been a key factor in my success.
15
Speaker 3.
16
I was already working for a healthcare business when I did my MBA.
17
On the course I bumped into a surgeon who told me he needed a tool to help with brain scanning.
18
I explored the feasibility of producing it, created it and then put together a plan.
19
A year down the line, I've graduated.
20
The technology's just been approved by neurologists and it's all going well.
21
So I'm really glad I did it.
22
The fact is, I'd been thinking for some time about setting up my own company.
23
And the course seemed an ideal way to find out more about how to do this.
24
How to work with companies to identify markets and opportunities, for example.
25
Speaker 4:
26
I was involved with securing financial assistance for disabled people for many years
27
and I felt I needed a break and an opportunity to step back from it.
28
So I decided to do the course with a view to
29
helping people to help themselves rather than having to rely on people like me.
30
On the course, I learned the hard skills like finance, but also cultivated soft skills,
31
including how to interact with people from different backgrounds, massively boosting my confidence.
32
Getting a qualification has given me the push to work on an idea I cherish since my teenage years:
33
setting up an online help forum.
34
It's not my job, but it does take up a lot of my time.
35
Speaker 5.
36
I was languishing as an out -of -work graduate when I decided to give the course a go, hoping it might open a few doors for me.
37
I had my degree in English, but I'd never taken any business courses before.
38
My only regret is, I wish business school had taught me more about office politics.
39
One thing I had to learn in the real world, is that you can't logically explain your way into a promotion.
40
you have to befriend your way to success.
41
The qualification I gained was indispensable, however, as it gave me my first real opportunity of a position in what turned out to be
42
A great organization where I'm still employed today.
43
Now you'll hear part 4 again.
44
Beep.

That's the end of part four.
88
There'll now be a pause of five minutes for you to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
89
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
90
I'll remind you when there's one minute left, so that you're sure to finish in time.
91
That's the end of the test.
92
Please stop now.
93
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.

为什么用这个视频练习英语口语?

想要提升英语口语,真实场景的对话输入至关重要。这个视频中5位演讲者分享了职场进修的经历,内容涵盖职业发展、创业想法等实用话题,非常适合用来做英语影子跟读。通过模仿他们的语气、节奏,既能积累职场表达,又能锻炼即时反应能力。对于“看YouTube学英语”的学习者来说,这样的真实素材比刻意编写的教材更能贴近实际交流场景,帮助快速适应自然口语。

语境中的语法与表达

视频里有不少值得学习的实用表达。比如“set out intending to”(原本打算),用于描述最初的计划,比简单的“want to”更生动。又如“proved a real opportunity”(成为一个真正的机会),这里“prove”作系动词,后面直接接名词短语,简洁有力。还有“with a view to”(为了),后接动名词,适用于说明行动目的。这些结构在口语中很常用,通过影子跟读(shadow speech)反复练习,能让表达更地道。

发音易错点解析

视频中部分单词的发音需要注意。比如“feasibility”(可行性),重音在第二个音节,容易被误读为“feaSIbility”。“indispensable”(不可或缺的)音节较多,要注意连贯发音,避免卡顿。另外,演讲者的连读现象也很明显,比如“set out”会连读成“setout”,“bumped into”连读为“bumpedinto”。这些发音细节如果不注意,会影响听力理解和口语流畅度。建议用shadowing site反复听辨,模仿正确发音。

总的来说,这个视频是英语口语练习的优质素材。结合影子跟读技巧,每天坚持模仿,不仅能提升发音和语调,还能积累实用表达。对于想要通过看YouTube学英语的学习者,这样的练习方式能让学习更高效。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作We've been running · I've been thinking
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事I've learned · I've graduated · has given
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的been approved · was involved

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。
