Section 2.
2
You will hear a woman called Alice Bussell talking on the radio about the Dolphin Conservation Trust,
3
an organisation which tries to protect dolphins.
4
First, You have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
6
Today we're pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust.
7
Tell us about the trust, Alice.
8
Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world.
9
It tries to raise people's awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats.
10
It started 10 years ago and it's one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country
11
although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection.
12
We're particularly proud of the work we do in education.
13
Last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country,
14
going round to talk to children and young people aged from 5 to 18.
15
In fact, about 35 % of our members are children.
16
The charity uses its money to support campaigns, for example, for changes in fishing policy and so forth.
17
biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.
18
Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis, and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things.
19
I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year for our work in education.
20
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood,
21
In the long term, it may not bring in extra members, but we're hoping it'll have this effect.
22
Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?
23
Yes, in several locations.
24
And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.
25
This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.
26
However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.
27
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.
28
It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.
29
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.
30
I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.
31
Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins
32
who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth
33
because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.
34
I couldn't put the book down.
35
I was hooked.
36
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
37
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
38
I'm sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help.
39
You mentioned the Adopt a Dolphin scheme.
40
Can you tell us about that? Of course.
41
People can choose one of our dolphins to sponsor.
42
They receive a picture of it and news updates.
43
I'd like to tell you about four which are currently being adopted by our members: Moondancer, Echo, Kiwi and Samson.
44
Unfortunately, Echo is being rather elusive this year and hasn't yet been sighted by our observers, but we remain optimistic that he'll be out there soon.
45
All the others have been out in force.
46
Samson and Moondancer are often photographed together.
47
But it's Kiwi who's our real character, as she seems to love coming up close for the cameras.
48
And we've captured her on film hundreds of times.
49
They all have their own personalities.
50
Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly, whereas Samson has a lot of energy.
51
He's always leaping out of the water with great vigour.
52
You'd probably expect him to be the youngest.
53
He's not quite.
54
That's Kiwi.
55
but Samson's the latest of our dolphins to be chosen for the scheme.
56
Kiwi makes a lot of noise, so we can often pick her out straight away.
57
Echo and Moondancer are noisy too, but Moondancer's easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back, which makes her easy to identify.
58
So, yes, they're all very different.
59
Well, they sound a fascinating group.
60
That is the end of section two.
61
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
62
Now turn to section 3.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?

通过收听爱丽丝·巴塞尔(Alice Bussell)关于海豚保护信托的讲话,学习者可以在真实的对话环境中提升英语口语能力。这段视频不仅充满了与海洋保护相关的专业术语,还有关于自然保护和志愿活动的深入讨论,这使得学习者能够在雅思口语练习中获得更多的背景知识和文化内涵。此外,视频中的讲话节奏和语调为学习者提供了模仿的机会,有助于提高他们的英语影子跟读能力。

语法与表达在语境中的应用

在这段对话中,爱丽丝使用了几种重要的语言结构,学习者可以在口语练习中模仿这些表达:

  • 目的句:“Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins…” 这种句式可以帮助学习者明确他们的表达意图。
  • 过往经历:“It started 10 years ago…”这类句式让讲话更具说服力,适合在雅思口语中描述个人经历时使用。
  • 动态描述:“Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly…”生动的描绘可以丰富口语表达,增强描述能力。
  • 竞争与挑战:“We're campaigning against this…” 在讨论观点时,使用类似结构可以表达立场和态度。

常见发音陷阱

在聆听这段对话时,学习者可能会遇到一些发音挑战。以下是几个需要特别注意的单词和短语:

  • Dolphin - 这个词的发音可能对初学者来说不够直观,强调第二音节,“dol-fin”。
  • Conservation - 注意音节分割,可以把它拆解为“con-ser-va-tion”,以提高发音准确性。
  • Elusive - 这个形容词的发音可能会让人困惑,正确发音为“e-lu-sive”,强调第二音节。

通过注意这些发音陷阱,学习者可以改善他们的英语口语练习效果,在雅思口语或其他场合表现得更加自信。此外,利用这种视频内容进行英语影子跟读(shadowing)训练,将帮助您形成良好的语音语调习惯,提高口语流利度。

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
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的was hooked · being adopted · been sighted
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has made · have been · we've captured
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物four which are · back, which makes

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。
