Section 2.
2
You will hear a representative of a city council giving information about two new facilities which are opening soon in the city.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to fourteen.
5
Good morning.
6
I am very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the city.
7
the Brackenside Open Air Swimming Pool and the Children's Adventure Playground in Central Park.
8
As many of you may know, the idea for these initiatives came from you, the public, in the extensive consultation exercise which the City Council conducted last year,
9
and they have been realised using money from the SWRDC, the South West Regional Development Commission.
10
First of all, Brackenside Pool.
11
As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the seafront thirty years ago,
12
but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe.
13
For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally renowned architect Ellen Wendon,
14
who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area,
15
with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system, the only one of its kind in the world, which enables seawater to be used in the pool.
16
Now, there's been quite a bit of discussion in the local
17
press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we're hoping to attract, but the design is deceptive, and there have been rigorous checks about capacity.
18
Also, just in case you were wondering, we're on schedule for a June 15th opening date, and well within budget.
19
A testimony to the excellent work of local contractors, Hickmans.
20
We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th.
21
We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open, and there'll be drinks and snacks available at the poolside.
22
There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance.
23
You will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.
24
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
25
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
26
And now, moving on to the Central Park Playground, which we're pleased to announce has just won the Douglas Award for Safety.
27
The news came through only last week.
28
The unique design is based on the concept of the Global Village, with the playground being divided into six areas showing different parts of the world,
29
each with a representative feature.
30
For example, there is a section on Asia, and this is represented by rides and equipment in the shape of snakes, orangutans, tigers and so on,
31
fauna native to the forests of the region.
32
Moving south to the Antarctic, we couldn't run to an ice rink, I'm afraid, but opted instead for climbing blocks in the shape of mountains.
33
I thought they could have had slides for the glaciers, but the designers did want to avoid being too literal.
34
Then on to South America, and here the theme is El Dorado, games replicating the search for mines full of precious stones.
35
And then moving up to North America, here there was considerable debate.
36
I know the contribution of cinema and jazz was considered, but the designers finally opted for rockets and the International Space Station.
37
Eastwards to Europe then, and perhaps the most traditional choice of all the areas, medieval castles and other fortifications.
38
Then last but not least, moving south to Africa, had a whole set of wonderful mosaics
39
and trails to represent the great rivers of this fascinating and varied continent.
40
Now, the opening date for our global playground is the 10th of July, and again, we'd love to see you there.
41
So, make a date and come and see this magnificent, original new amenity, right in the heart of the city.
42
That is the end of section two.
43
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
44
Now turn to section 3.

✨ 推荐视频
这个视频适合谁?
适合备考雅思、想提升听力理解和口语表达的中高级学习者。视频内容围绕城市设施介绍,涵盖日常场景与学术性信息,能帮助学习者熟悉雅思Section 2的题型与话题,同时积累实用表达,为“看视频学英语”提供优质素材。
值得借鉴的词汇与短语
- up-to-the-minute:最新的,尖端的。例:视频中提到泳池采用“up-to-the-minute”的回收系统。
- rigorous checks:严格检查。可用于描述项目流程,提升表达严谨性。
- last but not least:最后但同样重要的。在列举时使用,使逻辑更清晰。
- replicating:复制,模拟。如“games replicating the search for mines”,生动描述游戏设计。
如何练好发音?
提升英语发音可借助“shadow speak”(影子跟读法)。视频中演讲者语速适中,语调自然,适合模仿。注意以下几点:
1. 重音位置:如“internationally renowned”中,“renowned”重音在第二音节;“capacity”重音在首音节。
2. 连读与弱读:“as many of you”中,“of you”连读为/əvjuː/;“it had to close”中,“had to”弱读为/hædtə/。
3. 语调变化:演讲者在介绍设施时,列举部分语调上扬,如“snakes, orangutans, tigers and so on”,可增强表达的生动性。
反复跟练,模仿节奏与语气,能有效提升口语流畅度。
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 |
|---|---|
| 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 been realised · has managed · have been |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | have been realised · was judged · is based |
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。
