Part 1
2
You will hear a woman phoning the owner of a house she is going to rent about companies
3
that she could rent furniture from.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
6
Good morning.
7
Hi, this is Shelley Meyer.
8
I'm renting your house on Archwood Avenue.
9
I'm due to move in next week.
10
Oh, yes.
11
Hello, Ms. Meyer.
12
What can I do for you?
13
When I viewed the house,
14
I told you I most probably need to rent some furniture,
15
at least until I know whether my temporary work contract is going to be made permanent.
16
Yes, of course, I remember.
17
And I said I could give you some information about furniture rental companies in the city.
18
That's right.
19
Well, the biggest company is called Peak Rentals.
20
I've recommended them to other people and have always heard positive reports about them.
21
Could you give me an idea of their costs?
22
Sure.
23
I actually have one of their brochures here.
24
It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239.
25
That depends on which rooms you need furniture for, of course.
26
Sure.
27
It's just to get a general idea of how much it's going to cost.
28
And you said you had some positive feedback about this company?
29
Yes.
30
People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more modern than any of the other companies.
31
And also, once you place an order,
32
the furniture will be delivered to you in just one or two days.
33
That would be really helpful.
34
Oh, and the brochure says that there's a special offer at the moment.
35
If you rent living room furniture,
36
I believe that's a set of chairs and a TV table,
37
you'll also get a lamp at no extra cost.
38
Okay, but you know, that price range you gave is more than I was hoping to pay.
39
Then you could try Aaron and Oliver.
40
Sorry, what and Oliver?
41
Aaron.
42
Double A-R-O-N.
43
Okay.
44
Are they cheaper?
45
I'd say they're a mid-price company.
46
But if you chose them,
47
you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12% every month in case of damage.
48
Oh, I see.
49
I'd have to do the math carefully then.
50
Right.
51
But one helpful thing is that they also do cleaning for customers.
52
For the furniture?
53
For the house.
54
Oh, I see.
55
I probably won't need that.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
57
you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
58
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
59
There's another company called Larch Furniture.
60
It's quite new and it has the lowest prices in town.
61
That's for both furniture and also electronic equipment.
62
Well, that would be good.
63
I'm not bringing much with me,
64
and I won't have much time to go shopping after I start my job.
65
There are two things you need to know about large furniture.
66
First of all, you have to take out insurance on the furniture,
67
and you need to organize that yourself.
68
That wouldn't be too hard.
69
Also, you can't take out a contract for less than six months,
70
but I figure that might not be a problem for you.
71
You're renting the house for 12 months after all, aren't you?
72
Yes, okay.
73
Well, I...
74
Sorry to interrupt.
75
I just thought of another furniture rental company.
76
It's called Space Rentals, and it's located very near to the house.
77
Okay.
78
I don't have any information about their charges,
79
so it's best to use their app to find out what it would cost you to use them.
80
Okay, thanks.
81
I'll do that.
82
One good thing about that company is that if you don't like the furniture once it's delivered,
83
you can request exchanges, as long as you do that within a week of receiving it.
84
That sounds really great.
85
Okay, well, thanks very much.
86
That's so helpful.
87
That is the end of Part 1.
88
You now have one minute to check your answers to Part 1.
89
Thank you.
90
Thank you.
91
Thank you.
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看本视频，您可以体验真实的口语交流场景，这对提升英语口语能力至关重要。在视频中，女士Shellie正在与房东通话，讨论家具租赁的问题。这样的对话不仅能帮助您熟悉日常交流的用语，还能够提高您的听力理解能力。当您在做英语口语练习时，可以模仿视频中的对话，增强流利度和自信心。同时，通过英语影子跟读，您将能更好地掌握发音和语调，深入理解如何在类似情况下进行有效沟通。
语法与表达在情境中的运用
在这段对话中，有几个关键句型和结构尤为值得注意：
- 请求信息：“Could you give me an idea of their costs?” 这个句子展示了如何礼貌地请求信息。
- 反馈的表达：“I've heard positive reports about them.” 使用了过去完成时，可以帮助您表达对某个事件的经验。
- 表达不满：“That price range you gave is more than I was hoping to pay.” 激发对话的进一步讨论，让交流更加自然。
这些句型在实际生活中很常用，尤其是在日常交流或商务联系时，可以通过 shadowspeaks 的方法进行深入练习，以帮助您更自然地使用这些表达。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些词汇和发音可能会让学习者感到困惑。例如，“furniture”这个词的发音和拼写可能会出现错误。此外，“Aaron and Oliver”中，"Aaron"的两个“A”音节需要特别注意发音，避免混淆。适当的练习将有利于提高您的英语发音，特别是在进行提高英语发音和英语口语练习时，注意这些细节将显得尤为重要。借助shadow speak的技术，您可以更准确地模仿发音，提升语言流利度。
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。
