1
Part 3.
2
You will hear two sociology students called Tamara and Dev discussing their research for a presentation on loneliness.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 21 to 26.
5
Shall we go through the notes we've made from our research into loneliness now, Dev?
6
Okay, Samara.
7
It's been a real eye -opener.
8
I had no idea that loneliness has been increasing steadily for the last twenty years.
9
I know.
10
And it's the same all over the world.
11
The downside of a modern lifestyle, I guess.
12
Did you come to any conclusions about what the reasons for the increase are?
13
Well, I'd assumed it was mainly an issue for the elderly.
14
But in fact it's something which affects young people just as much.
15
Hmm, so nothing really to do with longer life spans.
16
Erm, what about social media?
17
In my case, far from making me feel isolated, it actually does the opposite.
18
'It definitely does more good than harm.' I'd say loneliness has a lot to do with the way cities are designed,
19
People living in high -rise flats with not much opportunity to speak to their neighbours.
20
I think you're right.
21
Another possible reason is that people are having fewer children and don't live in large extended family groups.
22
But in this country anyway, that all changed decades ago.
23
And yet loneliness is a more recent problem.
24
I suppose so.
25
A more plausible explanation is that people are having to move around for work
26
and often end up living miles away from their family and friends.
27
That's true.
28
Looking at the studies on health risks and loneliness, There are claims that loneliness has as much impact as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
29
Or similar to the risks caused by obesity.
30
But I'm not sure there's enough evidence for some of these claims.
31
Well, what about that one in Finland, which showed that loneliness increased the risk of cancer by about 10 %?
32
And those findings have been supported by other studies too.
33
You're right about that, Juan.
34
I was actually thinking of the studies on dementia.
35
Some found no association between loneliness and dementia, and others found the opposite.
36
Not exactly reliable then.
37
There's been a lot of research on cardiovascular disease.
38
And whether loneliness contributes to that?
39
Yes, I read that it was hard to reach a judgement, as the definition of loneliness varied quite a lot.
40
and the responses from participants were too subjective.
41
But there's no doubt that loneliness contributes to a weakened immune system.
42
Unquestionably.
43
The data on that is sound.
44
What did you think about the evolutionary theory of loneliness?
45
Well, I thought the idea that loneliness evolved because it motivated people to be with other people quite convincing.
46
Survival often depended on group cooperation.
47
But I don't think there's enough evidence to claim
48
that there must be a group of neurons in our brains
49
which influence social behaviour by making us feel bad when we're alone.
50
There are a few studies which support the theory, but not conclusively enough.
51
More evidence is needed.
52
And anyway, this theory is not really useful when it comes to solving the problem of loneliness today.
53
Trey.
54
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, You have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
55
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
56
Should we look at the relationship between loneliness and mental health now?
57
Okay.
58
So, loneliness and depression are clearly related and that's been recognised by various governments around the world.
59
But unlike depression, loneliness has no recognised clinical form.
60
There's no available diagnosis or effective treatments and that's not likely to change.
61
I don't think so either.
62
I was thinking we should start our presentation with an example from our own experience.
63
I'd like to talk about how lonely I was when I started university, being away from home for the first time and all that.
64
Good idea.
65
Everyone will be able to relate to that.
66
Although a lot of students were probably too embarrassed to admit to it.
67
Yeah.
68
We could discuss ways of dealing with loneliness as well, like just talking to strangers.
69
Loads of studies have shown that interactions with shop assistants and bar staff make people feel more optimistic and relaxed.
70
I don't know about that, but it must make people feel more connected with their community.
71
True.
72
Although you need to be a certain kind of person to be able to just strike up a conversation.
73
Good point.
74
We should say something about solitude and how being alone and being lonely aren't the same thing.
75
It's strange the way some people can't stand being by themselves while others love it.
76
Yeah, the research shows a certain amount of solitude is beneficial for wellbeing, which I appreciate.
77
But being alone isn't something I actually like.
78
I'd never choose to go on holiday alone, for example.
79
Me neither.
80
Well, let's not...
81
That is the end of part three.
82
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.

为了有效地通过本视频提升您的英语口语能力,您可以采取以下步骤进行英语影子跟读(shadow speech)。这些步骤将帮助您掌握对话中的语调和节奏,从而增强口语表达能力。

  1. 初步聆听:首先,仔细听整个对话,不要查看文本。尝试理解每个学生所描述的孤独感和相关研究的内容。
  2. 文本对照:接下来,查看文字稿。对照聆听与文字,以便更好地理解语句的结构和用词的选择。
  3. 分段模仿:将对话分成小段,逐句进行shadowspeak(影子跟读)。尝试模仿塔玛拉和德夫的语调、重音和速度。
  4. 重复练习:多次重复每一句。注意他们的语速和语音起伏,这将有助于提高您的自然口语能力。
  5. 录音对比:将您的跟读录音与原视频进行对比,分析您的发音和语调,找出需要改进的地方。

通过这种shadowing site(跟读网站)所推荐的方法,您将能够更自信地使用英语进行交流。确保在学习过程中,积极实践这些短语,并不断尝试与他人对话,从而提高自己的口语能力。

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we've made · It's been · have been supported
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的are designed · have been supported · is needed

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。
