1
The test is in four parts.
2
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
3
Now turn to part one.
4
Part 1.
5
You will hear a man phoning to find out about some children's engineering workshops.
6
First, You have some time to look at questions 1 to 3.
7
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 3.
8
Hello, children's engineering workshops.
9
Oh, hello.
10
I wanted some information about the workshops in the school holidays.
11
Sure.
12
I have two daughters who are interested.
13
The younger one's Lydia.
14
She's four.
15
Do you take children as young as that?
16
Yes.
17
Our tiny engineer's workshop is for four to five year olds.
18
What sorts of activities do they do?
19
All sorts.
20
For example, they work together to design a special cover
21
that goes round an egg so that when it's inside they can drop it from a height and it doesn't break.
22
Well, sometimes it does break, but that's part of the fun.
23
Right.
24
And Lydia loves building things.
25
Is there any opportunity for her to do that?
26
Well, they have a competition to see who can make the highest tower.
27
You'd be amazed how high they can go.
28
Right.
29
But they're learning all the time as well as having fun.
30
For example, one thing they do is to design and build a car that's attached to a balloon,
31
and the force of the air in that actually powers the car and makes it move along.
32
They go really fast too.
33
OK, well, all this sounds perfect.
34
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 4 to 10.
35
Now listen and answer questions 4 to 10.
36
Now, Carly, that's my older daughter, has just had her seventh birthday.
37
So presumably she'd be in a different group?
38
Yes, she'd be in the Junior Engineers.
39
That's for children from six to eight.
40
And do they do the same sorts of activities?
41
Some are the same, but a bit more advanced.
42
So they work out how to build model vehicles, things like cars and trucks,
43
but also how to construct animals using the same sorts of material and technique.
44
and then they learn how they can program them
45
and make them move so they learn a bit of coding they do they pick it up really quickly
46
We're there to help if they need it, but they learn from one another too.
47
Right.
48
And do they have competitions too?
49
Yes.
50
With the junior engineers it's to use recycled materials like card and wood to build a bridge.
51
And the longest one gets a prize.
52
That sounds fun.
53
I wouldn't mind doing that myself.
54
Then they have something a bit different, which is to think up an idea for a five -minute movie and then film it,
55
using special animation software.
56
You'd be amazed what they come up with!
57
And of course that's something they can put on their phone and take home to show all their friends!
58
Exactly!
59
And then they also build a robot in the shape of a human
60
and they decorate it and program it so that it can move its arms and legs.
61
Perfect.
62
So is it the same price as the tiny engineers?
63
It's just a bit more.
64
Fifty pounds for the five weeks.
65
And are the classes on a Monday too?
66
days.
67
The classes are held in the morning from 10 to 11.
68
OK.
69
That's better for me, actually.
70
And what about the location?
71
Where exactly are the workshops held?
72
They're in building 10A.
73
There's a big sign on the door, you can't miss it, and that's in Fradston Industrial Estate.
74
Sorry.
75
Fredston.
76
That's F.
77
R A D S.
78
tea, O -N -E.
79
And that's in Grassford, isn't it?
80
Yes, up past the station.
81
And will I have any parking problems there?
82
No, there's always plenty available.
83
So, would you like to enrol Lydia and Carly now?
84
OK.
85
So, can I have your full name and...
86
That is the end of part one.
87
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.

你能学到什么?

这段视频对话能帮你提升两项实用口语技能:一是用自然语气询问细节,比如视频里爸爸问“你们收这么小的孩子吗?”,这种日常提问的节奏很值得模仿;二是清晰描述活动内容,像工作人员介绍“用气球驱动汽车”时,如何用简单词汇讲清楚复杂概念。这些技能不仅对雅思听力有用,更能让你在实际交流中更自信。

注意这些连读和弱读

对话里有不少地道的语音现象。比如“they work together”中,“work”和“together”会连读成“work-together”;“it doesn't break”里的“doesn't”弱读成“dənz”,听起来更自然。还有“sort of activities”中的“of”会弱化为“əv”,这些细节能让你的发音更接近母语者。想要练好,可以试试shadow speak(影子跟读),跟着音频重复,慢慢就能掌握节奏。

像母语者一样说话

模仿对话中的重音和节奏很关键。比如“tiny engineer's workshop”里,“tiny”和“engineer's”要重读,突出 workshop 的特点;“they learn a bit of coding”中,“coding”是重点,要稍微加重语气。练习时可以用shadowing site(影子跟读网站),逐句跟读并录音对比。坚持下去,不仅能提高英语发音,还能让你的口语更流畅、有感染力。记住,影子跟读的核心是“同步”,尽量跟上说话人的速度,哪怕一开始会出错,多练几次就会有进步。

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will be given · be amazed · are held
最高级 the -est / the most … — 一组中最高或最低的the highest · the longest
“will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测will be · will hear · will I have

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。
