1
Part 3 You will hear two students, called Rosie and Colin, discussing their Human Geography assignment.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
4
Colin, I'm really struggling to think of a topic for our human geography assignment.
5
Me too, Rosie.
6
I'll tell you what.
7
Let's think about the different aspects of human geography and see
8
if we can narrow the topic down a bit to help us decide.
9
OK, so one aspect is population.
10
That would be all about population density and migration and so on.
11
Lots of facts and statistics.
12
Maybe a bit boring?
13
Yeah, but quite straightforward to find on the internet.
14
I suppose so.
15
How about health?
16
I'd never thought about the links between that and geography until Professor Lee gave us that lecture on cholera.
17
How in the 19th century, a physician used street plans and plans of water supplies to find the source of a cholera epidemic.
18
Yes, fascinating, wasn't it?
19
Or we could do something more general, like economies.
20
So how financial and commercial factors are linked to the physical environment?
21
Yeah.
22
I thought that had been taken off the syllabus for this year. Has it?
23
I'm not sure.
24
But it might be best to avoid it.
25
OK.
26
Maybe we could do something on culture.
27
We had that lecture about culture and geography last week.
28
I didn't get much out of that.
29
It was also general, and the lecturer didn't give any useful examples.
30
Yeah, I hardly took any notes.
31
It didn't seem worth it.
32
Me neither.
33
We could focus on poverty.
34
That's something that's a global problem.
35
The trouble is, Dr Lee was saying, that you have to be careful with some of the figures relating to poverty.
36
They're sometimes deliberately manipulated.
37
You mean the information gets changed for political reasons?
38
That sort of thing, yes.
39
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
40
Thank you.
41
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
42
So what are we going to do our assignment on?
43
I'll tell you what, one of the possibilities we haven't discussed is urbanisation, and now over half the world's population lives in cities.
44
That's really important.
45
OK, good idea, Rosie.
46
Let's do that.
47
I love living in a big city, but of course there are problems.
48
Things like theft and robbery?
49
Yes, but where I come from, that's linked to another more serious issue, which is that a lot of people don't have jobs.
50
That's getting worse and worse.
51
And we also still have quite a lot of people who are homeless, though that's not quite so bad as it was.
52
It'd be nice to talk about some positive developments, like some of the new developments on the outskirts of cities.
53
Yeah, they've opened some massive new shopping centres outside my city.
54
Yeah, the same with mine, but it's meant a lot of the shops in the city centre are closing down.
55
But the outskirts are ideal for buildings that need a lot of space, like for conferences.
56
They've opened a couple of big ones.
57
Yes, we've got some too.
58
It'd be nicer to have more facilities for things like football too, but that's not happening where I live.
59
Same in my area.
60
We could include something about developing disused industrial sites.
61
It seems like a good idea because you're not doing any harm to the natural environment.
62
Yeah, but aren't the buildings architecturally significant?
63
Not really.
64
And what people forget is that they often used quite dangerous materials, chemicals and things, which haven't been properly cleared away, so the whole site has to be made safe.
65
Hmm, that can't be cheap.
66
And I bet it's often not budgeted for.
67
You're right.
68
Have you read about Mazdar City?
69
In Abu Dhabi?
70
Yes.
71
It was designed to be a green city, wasn't it?
72
That might be a good example of a city which set out to depend entirely on renewable energy.
73
Yes, we should say something about that.
74
It was designed to be totally pedestrianised too, wasn't it?
75
With the transport underground.
76
Yes, and they had big plans for recycling to reduce waste to the lowest possible level.
77
But let's stick to talking about power sources.
78
Then there's that ecotown in England, Green Hill Abbots.
79
It set out to conform to the usual principles – sustainability and so on.
80
A lot of people were against it at first.
81
They said the plans were unrealistic.
82
I'm not sure how far they've got with it.
83
I'll check.
84
Right.
85
So it looks as if we have a sort of plan.
86
And we can work...
87
That is the end of part three.
88
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
89
Thank you.
90
Thank you.

逐步影子跟读指南
针对这段对话，可以通过以下步骤进行英语影子跟读（shadowspeak），以提高英语发音和听力能力：
- 初次聆听：听完整段对话，了解大意和主要讨论内容。注意学生们使用的短语和语言结构。
- 分段跟读：将对话分成小段，逐句播放，并尝试模仿语音和语调。可以使用视频暂停功能，反复聆听困难的句子。
- 重复练习：随着熟悉度的提高，逐渐减少暂停，努力跟随学生的语速和语调。这种练习可以帮助你在雅思口语练习中变得更加流利。
- 理解不同表达：分析每个短语的使用场合和含义，通过实际运用来巩固记忆。
- 录音回听：自己录音并与原音对比，找到发音上的不足，加以改进，进一步提高英语发音。
通过这些步骤，学习者不仅可以提升听力，还能够在与他人交谈时自信满足，提高交流能力。使用看YouTube学英语是一个非常有效的方法，让我们在学习的同时，也能享受这个过程。记得持之以恒，定期练习将有效帮助你在语言学习上取得重大进展。
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。
