1
Part 2 You will hear a man who works for Elmley
2
Town Council talking to some people who want to join the Small Towns Volunteer Scheme.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
5
Good morning, everyone.
6
I'm Steve Wainwright from Elmley Town Council, and I organise the Town's Volunteer Scheme.
7
I'm delighted you're all interested in joining the scheme.
8
Our volunteers help to create a sense of community among the many people who live in our historic town of Elmley,
9
and make residents and visitors feel welcome at local events.
10
First, I'll mention just a few of the activities that volunteers carry out.
11
One is to walk around the town centre streets wearing our volunteer t-shirt.
12
Tourists often ask how to get to a particular shop, and they might also be grateful for recommendations about what to visit.
13
The town holds a large number of concerts each year,
14
and part of the volunteers' role is to get everyone in the audience to the right place as smoothly as possible.
15
You'd be surprised how many people buy tickets, then don't check them, and head for the wrong section of the hall.
16
Volunteers may get involved with community groups, such as sports clubs or gardeners' associations.
17
Here, the volunteers talk about how groups can help each other.
18
For instance, a writing group might want to travel to another town to hear a talk by a well-known author,
19
but may not know that another club has a coach they could travel in.
20
The town produces a monthly magazine, and anyone who lives in the town can send in articles.
21
It's free to residents and is paid for by local businesses.
22
That's the responsibility of the council's advertising department.
23
We depend on volunteers, though, to find out what people think of events they've attended and any suggestions they have for the future.
24
The volunteers then send a summary to the editors.
25
There are a number of clubs for retired people, and every year the council arranges lunch for all the members.
26
The volunteers welcome the guests and when everyone's sitting down and relaxing after the meal some volunteers put on a show
27
usually around half an hour of songs
28
and short plays the club members really welcome the chance to chat to the volunteers at these events.
29
The town council has a website of course and volunteers are asked to help by making sure residents know about it.
30
It's updated every day with information about future activities and we want as many people as possible to use it.
31
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
32
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
33
OK, now you know some of the things our volunteers do, I'll go on to some practical matters.
34
As you probably know, the town arranges three major festivals every year, and they all depend on a large number of volunteers.
35
The book festival lasts three days, and uses several venues which all need volunteers.
36
More are needed for the music festival because that lasts a whole week, and even more help is required for the science festival, even though it's only two days long.
37
It involves quite a lot of venues, though.
38
It's a good idea to help at the festival you're most interested in, because you can attend most of the events for free.
39
We try to use volunteers who are flexible, though, because some festival events are held outdoors,
40
and the weather may affect the size of the audience and even whether the event can take place, so there can be changes at short notice.
41
What's essential, though, is being able to get on well with other people,
42
and also to deal with someone who's behaving badly, as occasionally happens.
43
Our plan is to get you all working in September, after a week's training starting on the 2nd,
44
so we'll be timetabling you for duties the following week, from the 9th onward.
45
Later, in the week beginning September 23rd, we have a chat with each of you to find out how you feel about being a volunteer
46
and what extra support you need.
47
As a thank you to the volunteers, we arrange an annual event.
48
In recent years, we've had a party in the Town Hall, and last year, a barbecue in Chamber Park.
49
Our forthcoming event is a trip along the canal from here to Dewhurst and back.
50
It's on Saturday, September the 28th, and if you'd like to attend, you can sign up once you start work.
51
Now, this is the Volunteer's T-shirt.
52
That is the end of Part 2.
53
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 2.
54
Thank you.

背景与语境

在本次视频中，我们聆听到Elmley市议会的斯蒂夫·温赖特（Steve Wainwright）与一群希望加入小镇志愿者计划的人进行对话。斯蒂夫介绍了志愿者在社区中扮演的重要角色，强调他们如何通过参与各类活动来增强社区感，并为居民和游客提供支持与帮助。这段对话不仅帮助人们了解志愿者计划的具体内容，也展示了在日常交流中常用的英语表达。

日常沟通的五个重要短语

  • “欢迎大家” (Welcome everyone) - 用于正式或非正式的场合来引起注意，打招呼。
  • “请问您需要帮助吗？” (Can I help you?) - 表达愿意提供帮助，非常适用于服务行业。
  • “在这个活动中，我们会……” (At this event, we will...) - 用于说明某个活动的内容或目的。
  • “我们依靠志愿者的支持” (We depend on volunteer support) - 强调团队合作和志愿者的重要性。
  • “感谢您的参与” (Thank you for your participation) - 表达感激之情，适用于活动结束时的交流。

逐步模仿指导

对于有志于提高英语口语能力的学习者，可以采用以下逐步模仿的方法来应对这段视频的难度：

  1. 首先，观看视频并暂停：在听到斯蒂夫讲话时，暂停视频并试图理解每个短语的意思。注意他的语调和语速。
  2. 跟读模仿：在停下的地方，反复播放并跟读，关注发音和节奏。使用看YouTube学英语的方式来提升听力理解能力。
  3. 记录关键词：将重要短语和句子写下来，以帮助记忆，并方便日后复习。
  4. 练习对话：找到学习伙伴或使用语言交换平台，进行实际对话练习，增强使用这些短语的自信。
  5. 逐渐提高难度：可以尝试改变语境，将短语应用于不同的场合，进行英语口语练习，以加深理解。

通过不断模仿和练习，你将能提高英语发音，在日常沟通中变得更加自如。利用这些技巧，开始你的shadow speech之旅吧！

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。
