Section 3.
2
You will hear a student called Russ consulting his tutor about a presentation he is preparing on nanotechnology,
3
the study of materials on an extremely small scale.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
5
Thank you.
6
21 to 25.
7
Come in, Russ.
8
Thank you.
9
Now, you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology.
10
You're due to give it next week, aren't you?
11
That's right, and I'm really struggling.
12
I chose the topic because I didn't know much about it and wanted to learn more,
13
but now I've read so much about it,
14
in a way there's too much to say.
15
I could talk for much longer than the twenty minutes I've been allocated.
16
Should I assume the other students don't know much and give them a kind of general introduction,
17
or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect?
18
You could do either, but you'll need to have it clear in your own mind.
19
Then I think I'll give an overview.
20
Okay.
21
Now, one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order.
22
On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology is being applied.
23
You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water repellent
24
and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter.
25
Exactly.
26
Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area,
27
say medicine or space exploration.
28
That would make it easier to focus.
29
Perhaps I should do that.
30
I think that would be a good idea.
31
Right.
32
How important is it to include slides in the presentation?
33
They aren't essential by any means.
34
And there's a danger of tailoring what you say to fit whatever slides you can find.
35
While it can be good to include slides,
36
you could end up spending too long looking for suitable ones.
37
You might find it better to leave them out.
38
I see.
39
Another thing I was wondering about was how to start.
40
I know presentations often begin with,
41
first I'm going to talk about this,
42
and then I'll talk about that.
43
but I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology.
44
That would be fine if you had an hour
45
or two for the presentation but you might find
46
that you can't do anything with the answers you get and it simply eats into the short time that's available.
47
So maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used to focus people's attention.
48
That sounds sensible.
49
What do you think I should do next?
50
I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow.
51
Well, initially I think you should ignore all the notes you've made,
52
take a small piece of paper and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation.
53
It can be something as simple as,
54
nanotechnology is already improving our lives.
55
Then start planning the content around that.
56
You can always modify that sentence later if you need to.
57
OK.
58
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
59
you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
60
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
61
OK, now let's think about actually giving the presentation.
62
You've only given one before,
63
if I remember correctly, about an experiment you'd been involved in.
64
That's right.
65
It was pretty rubbish.
66
Let's say it was better in some respects than in others.
67
With regard to the structure,
68
I felt that you ended rather abruptly, without rounding it off.
69
Be careful not to do that in next week's presentation.
70
OK.
71
And you made very little eye contact with the audience,
72
because you were looking down at your notes most of the time.
73
You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes.
74
Your body language was a little odd every time you showed a slide you turned your back on the audience
75
so you could look at it
76
you should have been looking at your laptop
77
and you kept scratching your head so i found myself wondering
78
when you were next going to do
79
that instead of listening to what you were saying oh dear what did you think of the language i knew
80
that not everyone was familiar with the subject so I tried to make it as simple as I could.
81
Yes, that came across.
82
You used a few words that are specific to the field,
83
but you always explained what they meant,
84
so the audience wouldn't have had any difficulty understanding.
85
Uh-huh.
86
I must say, the handouts you prepared were well thought out.
87
They were a good summary of your presentation,
88
which people would have been able to refer to later on,
89
so well done on that.
90
Thank you.
91
Well, I hope that helps you with next week's presentation.
92
Yes, it will.
93
Thanks a lot.
94
I'll look forward to seeing a big improvement then.
95
That is the end of Section 3.
96
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
97
Now turn to section 4.

关于本课
在本节课中，学习者将通过收听学生Russ与导师之间的对话，了解如何准备关于纳米技术的演讲。此对话提供了一系列关于如何规划演示文稿、如何组织内容以及演示技巧的实用建议。通过分析对话内容，学习者将能提升他们的英语口语能力，尤其是在公共演讲和学术讨论中的应用。
重点词汇与短语
- 纳米技术 (nanotechnology) - 研究极小规模材料的科学。
- 演讲 (presentation) - 向观众讲解一个主题的活动。
- 概述 (overview) - 对某个主题的简要说明。
- 影响 (impact) - 某事物对其他事物产生的效果或结果。

练习建议
在进行英语口语练习时，使用本视频的内容进行shadowspeak（影子跟读）是一种非常有效的方法。为了更好地掌握发音和语调，可以尝试以下步骤：
- 首先，找到视频的音频或直接观看视频，通过看YouTube学英语的方式，耳朵要先熟悉说话者的语音。
- 以较慢的速度进行跟读。可以暂停视频，反复听取每一句，确保能与说话者的语调和语速相匹配。
- 专注于表达情感和语调的变化，不仅仅是单纯模仿字词，还要感受整个句子的节奏。
- 试着先记录自己的声音，再与原音频进行对比，找出差距并加以纠正。
- 保持持续的日常练习，每天抽出时间进行英语口语练习，使自己的口语能力稳步提高。
通过这些练习，您将能够在短时间内显著提升您的英语演讲能力，帮助您在学术和职业领域更加自信。
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。
