1
Part 2.
2
You will hear a man called David talking on the radio about his work as a lifeboat volunteer.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen.
5
I never really planned to be a lifeboat volunteer when I came to live in North Sea.
6
I'd been working in London as a website designer, but although that was interesting, I didn't like city life.
7
I'd been really keen on boats as a teenager and I thought if I went to live by the sea, I might be able to pursue that interest a bit more in my free time.
8
Then I found that the Lifeboat Institution was looking for volunteers, so I decided to apply.
9
The Lifeboat Institution building here in North Sea is hard to miss.
10
It's one of the largest in the country.
11
It was built 15 years ago, with funds provided by a generous member of the public who'd lived here all her life.
12
As the Lifeboat Institution is a charity that relies on that kind of donation, rather than funding provided by the government, that was a huge help to us.
13
When I applied, I had to have a health assessment.
14
The doctors were particularly interested in my vision.
15
I used to be short -sighted, so I'd had to wear glasses, but I'd had laser eye surgery two years earlier, so that was okay.
16
They gave me tests for colour blindness, and they thought I might have a problem there, but it turned out I was okay.
17
When the Coast Guard gets an alert, all the volunteers are contacted and rushed to the lifeboat station.
18
Our target's to get there in five minutes.
19
Then we try to get the boat off the dock and out to sea in another six to eight minutes.
20
Our team's proud that we usually achieve that.
21
The average time across the country is eight and a half minutes.
22
I've recently qualified as what's called a helmsman, which means I have the ultimate responsibility for the lifeboat.
23
I have to check that the equipment we use is in working order, the crew have special life jackets that can support up to four people in the water,
24
and it's ultimately my decision whether it's safe to launch the boat.
25
But it's very rare not to launch it, even in the worst weather.
26
As well as going out on the lifeboat, my work involves other things too.
27
A lot of people underestimate how quickly conditions can change at sea, so I speak to youth groups
28
and sailing clubs in the area about the sorts of problems
29
that sailors and swimmers can have if the weather suddenly gets bad.
30
We also have a lot of volunteers who organise activities to raise money for us, and we couldn't manage without them.
31
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
32
The training we get is a continuous process, focusing on technical competence and safe handling techniques,
33
and it's given me the confidence to deal with extreme situations without panicking.
34
I was glad I'd done a first aid course before I started, as that's a big help with the casualty care activities we do.
35
We've done a lot on how to deal with ropes and tie knots.
36
That's an essential skill.
37
After a year, I did a one -week residential course led by specialists.
38
They had a wave tank where they could create extreme weather conditions
39
so we could get experience of what to do if the boat turned over in a storm at night, for example.
40
Since I started, I've had to deal with a range of emergency situations.
41
But the work's hugely motivating.
42
It's not just about saving lives.
43
I've learned a lot about the technology involved.
44
My background in IT's been useful here, and I can use my expertise to help other volunteers.
45
They're a great group.
46
We're like a family, really, which helps when you're dragging yourself out of bed on a cold stormy night.
47
But actually, it's the colder months that can be the most rewarding time.
48
That's when the incidents tend to be more serious, and you realise that you can make a huge difference to the outcome.
49
So, if any of you listeners are interested, why don't you give us a call?
50
That is the end of part two.
51
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

看视频学英语:通过救生艇志愿者对话提升口语
本节口语练习目标
本节聚焦雅思口语练习中“描述经历与职责”的话题,训练流畅讲述个人经历、工作内容及技能的能力,同时提升在复杂语境下的表达清晰度与逻辑连贯性,助力突破“内容空洞”的 fluency 瓶颈。
实用短语库
- pursue that interest(培养兴趣)
- rely on donations(依赖捐赠)
- ultimate responsibility(最终责任)
- underestimate how quickly(低估……的速度)
- continuous process(持续过程)
- extreme situations(极端情况)
- make a huge difference(产生巨大影响)
攻克发音与节奏弱点
视频中大量出现连读与弱读现象(如“used to be”“turned over”),适合用于提高英语发音的 shadowing 练习。建议重点模仿以下两点:1. 辅音连缀的清晰度(如“technical competence”);2. 长句中的意群停顿(如“it's ultimately my decision / whether it's safe to launch the boat”)。通过反复跟读,可改善口语的自然度与流畅性。
此外,对话中包含多个专业术语(如“helmsman”“wave tank”),练习时需注意重音位置。结合英语口语练习,可将这些表达融入日常话题,提升词汇多样性。
利用视频进行 shadowing 训练,不仅能强化听力理解,还能在模仿中掌握地道语调。坚持每天练习 10 分钟,可有效提升语言输出的准确性与自信心。
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 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | We've done · I've learned |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | was built · are contacted |
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。
