Welcome to ICIELTS Listening Practice.
2
Handwriting.
3
Part 3.
4
You will hear two education students discussing an assignment on teaching handwriting to children.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
7
How are you getting on with the assignment on handwriting?
8
Not too bad.
9
You know, I hadn't realised that children benefit in so many ways from learning to write.
10
It's such an important skill,
11
and yet most people think handwriting is less important than in the past because people hardly ever write by hand these days.
12
Yes, and all the evidence suggests children should learn to write by hand before they learn to type,
13
not least because it helps their memory.
14
That's right.
15
The physical act of writing helps children to remember letters.
16
That seems pretty obvious when you think about it.
17
What's less obvious is how it helps develop their concentration.
18
They have to sit still and focus on one thing.
19
Yeah, that aspect of handwriting had never occurred to me before.
20
Same here.
21
I'm not sure I understand how it improves children's imagination, though.
22
Well, there was that study which showed that primary age children generated more ideas
23
when they were writing by hand than using a keyboard.
24
I would have guessed that would be the case.
25
Hmm, yeah.
26
I'd never associated spatial awareness with handwriting either.
27
I thought spatial awareness was more to do with knowing where you are in relation to objects or other people.
28
Hmm, I thought that too.
29
And good spatial awareness is essential for writing because you have to space words correctly.
30
It's not just fine motor skills that improve through writing,
31
as I'd always assumed.
32
Handwriting is so much harder for children with dyspraxia,
33
who have problems coordinating movement.
34
It's good there are lots of things you can do in the classroom to help them.
35
They need so much more support with letter formation.
36
You need to play lots of games to help them distinguish letter shapes.
37
It takes a lot of patience.
38
Yeah.
39
I like the idea of using one of those pens that lights up if you press too hard.
40
That seems like a really simple solution.
41
Yes, absolutely.
42
I'm not sure there's much you can do about children with dyspraxia writing very slowly.
43
It's more important to focus on accuracy,
44
and as they get more confident,
45
I think they eventually speed up.
46
One quite simple thing you can do is to use grid paper.
47
So they write each letter in a box and that trains them to space the letters correctly.
48
Indeed.
49
That's more important for legibility than trying to get them to write in a straight line.
50
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
51
you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
52
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
53
For some children, it might be better to teach them to write on a laptop rather than by hand,
54
like children with dyslexia.
55
They often really struggle with handwriting and some just give up.
56
Yeah, it's not as frustrating for them if they get things wrong.
57
On a keyboard, they can be more willing to have a go.
58
But I read that developing fluency isn't any faster.
59
That's right.
60
Did you read that article on the benefits of teaching print rather than cursive handwriting,
61
where the letters are joined up?
62
Yes.
63
Well, in the past, cursive writing was certainly considered more stylish and educated, but not anymore.
64
Teachers' attitudes have changed because it's been proved that cursive is more difficult to learn,
65
especially for children with learning difficulties who find joining up letters really challenging.
66
I agree.
67
I was always worried that my poor handwriting affected my exam results,
68
and now research shows that I was right to worry.
69
I'm sure a lot of students think it's unfair that they're being judged on their handwriting,
70
not just their knowledge.
71
Marks are definitely affected if examiners can't read the script.
72
That's why it's always been so important to teach children to write legibly.
73
Do you think the role of handwriting will change in the future?
74
I can't see that changing much.
75
Touch typing still isn't taught in most schools, which is a shame.
76
But maybe that won't be necessary in the future,
77
because people will also be able to write by hand on digital devices.
78
Anyway, teachers understand the value of handwriting.
79
It's a basic life skill.
80
True.
81
However, the fact is that people are writing by hand less and less and relying on digital devices.
82
That does cause some problems.
83
You mean like note-taking?
84
There are lots of apps for that.
85
And for reading historical documents, apparently.
86
But my mum is shocked by my awful spelling and the fact that my punctuation is really inconsistent.
87
I think you can put that down to lack of practice.
88
I expect so.
89
Personally, I miss writing by hand.
90
I hardly ever write anything now.
91
I remember my grandparents had such beautiful handwriting and it was so individual.
92
Nobody I know would be able to identify my handwriting now.
93
It's a shame.
94
I know.
95
I feel the same way.
96
I used to write a diary by hand and now I do that digitally.
97
It just seems less effort to do it that way.
98
So it's not just a problem.
99
That is the end of part 3.

关于本课
本节课程将帮助学生提高英语听力和口语能力。学习内容围绕手写对儿童教育的重要性进行讨论，学生将在收听录音的过程中，理解手写技能如何促进儿童的记忆、注意力和想象力等方面的发展。在听力练习中，学员将回答与该话题相关的问题，并增强对特定关键词和短语的理解，从而提升他们的英语沟通能力。
关键词汇与短语
- 手写 (handwriting) - 学习写字的技巧。
- 注意力 (concentration) - 专注于某一事物的能力。
- 想象力 (imagination) - 创造新想法的能力。
- 空间意识 (spatial awareness) - 对自己与周围物体或人的位置的认识。
- 运动协调 (coordination) - 控制身体动作的能力。
- 字母形状 (letter shapes) - 字母的外观和结构。
- 准确性 (accuracy) - 写作时的正确性。
- 网格纸 (grid paper) - 帮助对齐字母的特殊纸张。
练习技巧
在进行听力练习时，建议采用英语影子跟读的方式进行学习。首先观看此视频，注意讲者的语速和语调，理解每个词语的发音和用法。然后，尝试跟读视频中的对话，这样可以加深你对看YouTube学英语的理解。由于讨论内容关于教育和儿童手写技巧，语速较为适中，非常适合进行英语口语练习。
例如，可以分段播放音频，第一次专注于理解内容，第二次则边听边复述。利用shadowing site中提供的音频，练习时尽量模仿发音和语调。这样的练习可以显著提高你的听力理解能力和口语表达能力，尤其是在涉及较为复杂的主题时。
记住，练习需要耐心与持续的努力，因此每次练习的质量比数量更为重要。通过频繁的英语口语练习，你会逐渐增强自信心，并能更流利地表达自己的想法。
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。
