Unit 6, Track 14 Hey Matt, are you coming out tonight?
2
I'd love to, Amy, thanks, but I've got too much work.
3
I need to get this psychology assignment in by Thursday.
4
Oh, what's it on?
5
Happiness, or specifically, the things that make people happy.
6
Wow, that's a big area.
7
How are you approaching it?
8
Well, I've been looking on the internet to see what various experts have to say on the subject
9
Did you find anything interesting?
10
Well, yes, I did Like?
11
Like, for example, there's a professor at Nottingham University, a guy called Richard Tunney And he suggests that the more close friends we have,
12
the happier we are And if you see these friends regularly, go out with them and so on, well, that's even better
13
I'd have thought that was fairly obvious I guess so The next one is a bit more interesting though Martin Seligman,
14
a professor of psychology at an American university Conducted a happiness experiment with his students What did he do?
15
Give everyone huge amounts of cash and then see how much they smiled That would help, wouldn't it?
16
Well, perhaps it would For a short while, anyway No, what he did was tell half his students to take part in fun activities,
17
like playing video games or going to the cinema, and the other half to do good things.
18
Good things?
19
You know, like visiting elderly people at a care home, or some other kind of voluntary work.
20
And it was those students who reported a more lasting feeling of happiness.
21
Hmm, that's interesting then there's george valent a psychiatrist
22
and professor at harvard medical school he's spent the past 60 years studying people
23
so i guess he probably knows a bit about them he certainly does according to him the thing
24
that really makes people happy is having something to aim for you know a goal in the future right
25
so i can say by the time i'm 30 i'm going to be a millionaire
26
and that will make me happy ah
27
but valent has a warning here you need to be realistic it's no good setting yourself impossible goals
28
because well because you'll only make yourself unhappy trying to achieve them exactly
29
so does anyone mention anything that people normally assume brings happiness like a healthy bank account
30
or an expensive house something more uh material funnily enough those
31
things aren't mentioned much here's another interesting one though melanie hodgson she's a professor at westbrook university claims
32
that people are happier when they're getting ready to go on holiday oh i love
33
that sitting on a beach relaxing sightseeing no not the actual holiday itself
34
which professor hodgson says can sometimes be quite stressful that's true they can
35
but the things you do leading up to it
36
deciding what you're going to take with you what you're going to see
37
and do packing your case
38
that kind of thing oh i get it yes i can see how that would work unit six track fifteen
39
I've also found one of those personality tests on the internet.
40
You know, answer these questions to find out how happy you are.
41
Oh, those.
42
They're a bit of a waste of time, aren't they?
43
I did one on how healthy are you, and the results were completely wrong.
44
But they're quite good fun, though, aren't they?
45
Well, yes, especially if you do them with friends.
46
I think it's important that you shouldn't take them seriously, though.
47
That's true Anyway, why should I do a test that tells me how happy or healthy or successful I am?
48
I mean, I already know the answers, don't I?
49
So I'm not likely to get any surprises, like Oh, according to this test, I'm happy I didn't expect that OK,
50
I take your point So what makes you happy?
51
Oh, I don't know Spending time with people I know and like, I guess I need people around me Me too.
52
But I need time on my own as well.
53
That doesn't really bother me.
54
I grew up in a big family, so I'm used to someone always being in the room.
55
If I wanted to be alone, to get away from people, I had to go out for a walk or something.
56
I still do that occasionally.
57
In fact, that's one thing that makes me happy.
58
A long walk in the countryside.
59
And the advantage is that you're getting some exercise too, which is something I don't usually do.
60
But you go running, don't you?
61
Sometimes, but only because I feel I have to.
62
Anyway, back to your assignment.
63
You've got all the information you need.
64
Not quite.
65
I need to do a bit more research first.
66
Okay, so you'll be off to the library then?
67
I would if I knew I could find something useful.
68
But you know how disorganised it is there.
69
It's impossible to find what you want, especially when it comes to psychology books.
70
Oh, I know.
71
No, give me a computer and the internet any day.
72
Well, good luck with that.
73
If you get bored and want a break, you know where to find me.
74
Thanks, but if I don't get this done, I'll be in trouble.
75
Why don't you email Tony?
76
He did a similar assignment last year, so he might have a few suggestions That's a good idea.
77
Have you got his email address?
78
Sure.
79
Give me a moment while I look it up Thanks

✨ 推荐视频
为何用这段视频练习口语?
这段关于“幸福”的对话是雅思口语练习的优质素材。它模拟了真实的日常交流场景,话题贴近生活且有深度,能帮助学习者熟悉雅思口语中常见的“观点讨论”类题型。通过模仿对话中的自然表达和逻辑推进,不仅能提升口语流畅度,还能积累实用观点。对于shadow speech练习来说,其语速适中、发音清晰,非常适合逐句跟读,培养语感和反应能力。
语境中的语法与表达
- “I've got too much work.” 使用现在完成时表达当前的状态,在口语中比“I have too much work”更自然。学习者可模仿这种简洁的口语表达,避免过于正式。
- “What's it on?” 此处“on”表示“关于”,是口语中常用的省略表达。类似的还有“What's the movie about?”,需注意介词的灵活使用。
- “It's no good setting yourself impossible goals.” 句型“It's no good doing sth.”表示“做某事没用”,后接动名词短语。在雅思口语中使用此类结构,能让表达更丰富。
常见发音陷阱
对话中部分单词的发音需特别注意。例如“psychology”(心理学)的发音为/saɪˈkɒlədʒi/,其中“p”不发音,容易被误读。“voluntary”(志愿的)的重音在第二个音节/ˈvɒləntri/,而非第一个。此外,“Seligman”“Valent”等人名的发音要注意连读和弱读,避免生硬。通过shadowing site反复跟读这些细节,能有效提升发音的准确性。
无论是英语口语练习还是雅思备考,这段视频都能为学习者提供真实的语言环境。坚持shadow speak训练,结合对语法、表达和发音的分析,口语能力定会稳步提升。
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 |
|---|---|
| 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 | have thought · I've also found |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | students who reported · too, which is |
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。
