Section 2
2
You will hear a man who owns a holiday home talking on the phone to a woman who is staying there.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.
4
Now listen
5
carefully and answer questions eleven to thirteen.
6
Hello?
7
Hi, it's Laura Carlton here.
8
We've just arrived at the holiday flat, but I can't get the hot water and heating to work.
9
Oh, right.
10
That's easy.
11
Don't worry.
12
In the upstairs cupboard, you'll find the water heater.
13
You'll see three main controls on the left at the bottom of the heater.
14
The first one, the round one on the far left, is the most important one for the heating and hot water.
15
It's the main control switch.
16
Make sure it's in the on position.
17
The switch itself doesn't light up, but the little square below will be black if the switch is off.
18
That's probably what's happened.
19
It's got switched off by mistake.
20
The middle one of these three controls, you'll see it's slightly larger than the first controls controls the radiators.
21
If you feel cold while you're there and need the radiators on, this needs to be turned to maximum.
22
The last of the three controls, the one on the right, is usually on about a number four setting, which for the water in the taps is usually quite hot enough.
23
Below the heating controls in the middle is a small round plastic button.
24
If there isn't enough water in the pipes, sometimes the heater goes out.
25
If this happens, you'll need to press this button to reset the heater.
26
Hold it in for about five seconds and the heater should come on again.
27
Then there's a little square indicator under the third knob that's a kind of alarm light.
28
It'll flash if you need to reset the heater.
29
It sounds complicated.
30
I'm sure you won't have any problems with it.
31
There should be some more instructions on the side of the heater.
32
Call me back if you can't make it work.
33
OK.
34
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
35
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
36
While you're on the phone, we haven't managed to find a few things we need, like extra pillows for the beds and some washing powder.
37
Is there any here?
38
Pillows, yes.
39
If you look in the cupboard, the large white one upstairs, to the left of the bathroom door, there should be four or five on the top shelf.
40
And if you want to do some washing, there's some powder for that, um, probably by the back door.
41
There's a kind of shelf there above the sink.
42
In fact, I'm sure there's some there in a large blue box.
43
You need about half a cupful for each wash.
44
Oh, and that reminds me.
45
The spare key to the back door is hanging on a hook on the wall by the sitting room window.
46
Please make sure to put it back when you've used it.
47
The previous guest lost it in the garden and I had to get another one made.
48
And if you have any trouble with the lamps, you'll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.
49
It's on top of the washing machine with all kinds of useful things in it.
50
Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention when we last spoke.
51
Yes?
52
I've left you a local map so you'll be able to find your way around easily.
53
It shows the whole area.
54
I put it in the top drawer of the chest under the TV in your bedroom.
55
There's a whole file of local information in there too.
56
Thanks.
57
What about visiting the town?
58
Can you give us any advice?
59
Yes.
60
You'll need to take the car.
61
It's too far to walk from the flat, really.
62
You have to pay to leave your car in all the car parks now, I'm afraid.
63
I like the one that's by the station best, and you can walk to the town centre from there in five minutes.
64
That's where all the best restaurants are.
65
But if you want a takeaway, the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.
66
Call 73 22 81 for that one, or 766 119 for the Chinese.
67
They're both good, and they'll both deliver to the flat.
68
As for places to visit, yes, do go and see the Railway Museum.
69
The exhibition is small but really good.
70
It gets very crowded on Sundays, so I suggest you visit it on a quieter day, later in the week, but not on Thursdays, which is market day.
71
You won't find anywhere to park.
72
And it's also the only day of the week when they're not open.
73
Anything else?
74
Not for the moment, thanks.
75
That is the end of section two.
76
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
77
Now turn to section 3.

✨ 推荐视频
这个视频适合谁?
如果你正在准备雅思考试,尤其是需要提升听力和口语能力,或者想通过真实对话练习英语影子跟读,这个视频再合适不过了。它模拟了日常生活中的沟通场景,语速适中,内容贴近实际,非常适合中高级学习者用来磨练shadow speech技巧,同时也能为雅思口语练习积累实用表达。
值得借鉴的词汇和表达

如何练好发音和语调?
视频中说话人的发音清晰,语调自然,很适合用来练习shadow speak。注意以下几点:首先,模仿他在解释设备操作时的重音,比如“main control switch”中的“main”和“control”要稍微重读,突出重点;其次,关注连读现象,比如“turn to maximum”中“turn to”可以连读成/tɜːn tuː/;最后,练习他的语气,在安慰对方时(如“Don't worry”)语调要舒缓,给人亲切的感觉。每天花10分钟跟着视频进行英语影子跟读,坚持一周就能明显感受到口语流畅度的提升。

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。
