1
Part 3.
2
You will hear a business studies student called Edward talking to his tutor about some research he is doing on product development.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
Hello, Edward.
6
Sit down.
7
Thanks.
8
I need some advice on my presentation about product development.
9
Right.
10
Have you decided what to focus on?
11
Yes.
12
The product I've chosen is a particular type of mosquito net.
13
Any reason for choosing that?
14
Hmm.
15
I spent last summer travelling round Africa with a friend.
16
He's studying medicine, so when we were in a region where mosquitoes cause malaria, we visited a medical centre.
17
I chatted to an administrator while my friend talked to one of the doctors,
18
and I found out they've had far fewer cases of malaria since these mosquito nets became available locally.
19
That made me interested in them.
20
Hmm, OK.
21
Mosquito nets have quite a long history, don't they?
22
I believe they'd been used in Japan for centuries.
23
That's right.
24
Though apparently Queen Cleopatra slept under one in ancient Egypt.
25
That was probably where they were invented.
26
And much later nets were used in China, so perhaps they were invented there independently.
27
Originally they were made of silk, but later cotton was used, and nowadays they're mainly synthetic.
28
It wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that they developed nets treated with insecticides for use by the military, and that was a major step forward.
29
They used an insecticide called DDT, but it was later found that this could be harmful to people as well as mosquitoes.
30
Is that still a problem with modern nets?
31
Oh, no. The chemicals used nowadays are safe, even if people sleep under them every night.
32
And the nets work, and they're odour-free.
33
But they have to be treated fairly often with the chemical, which the owners need to do themselves.
34
Hmm.
35
Presumably distribution of the chemical can be a problem in remote areas?
36
I mean, people may not be able to get hold of it easily.
37
That's right.
38
Hmm.
39
OK, tell me about this net you're going to talk about.
40
Well, the brand name is Olliset, and the product was invented by a Japanese company.
41
These nets are an improvement on the alternatives because the insecticide is contained inside the fibre and released gradually.
42
It's not coated on the outside as with ordinary nets.
43
So the chemicals don't have to be replaced?
44
Right.
45
And Oli-set nets are also tougher and don't tear as easily.
46
They give protection for at least five years compared with a year or two for other nets.
47
Well, it sounds interesting.
48
But for your seminar presentation, will you provide the bigger picture as well?
49
Yes.
50
It'll be a case study of product development.
51
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
52
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
53
I thought I'd introduce my presentation by describing the background to the new product, the general context.
54
You mean the business context?
55
Where the investment's coming from and that sort of thing?
56
Well, I was thinking I'd talk first about insect-borne diseases, particularly malaria
57
and why there's such an urgent need for new ways of fighting it.
58
Some people might not know much about it.
59
Yes, that's a good idea.
60
I've got some statistics about the numbers of people worldwide who get the disease each year.
61
I thought I'd show those.
62
They're quite staggering.
63
I can imagine.
64
It's one of the world's biggest health problems, after all.
65
It'd also be useful if you could find some statistical information on how malaria affects countries' economic output and present that too.
66
OK, I'm sure I can find something.
67
After that, I'll talk about mosquito nets.
68
First, the historical development, just briefly, and then I'll introduce the Ollyset mosquito net.
69
Yes, keep it simple.
70
You could just present a bulleted list of its characteristics, the things that make it different from other types of net, and talk that through.
71
Right.
72
Then I thought I'd outline the production process.
73
Fine.
74
Should I give some information about where the money for the project has come from?
75
There are lots of government and private sponsors.
76
Definitely.
77
That's a very important aspect of any product development.
78
Where are the nets being manufactured, by the way?
79
Oh, over half are made in Tanzania by a company called A-Z.
80
They got an interest-free loan to buy in the necessary machinery.
81
Well, I'd say a bit about the company profile as well, and then present figures about numbers of staff and the kinds of people they're employing on the Ollyset project,
82
if you can find the details.
83
Hmm, OK.
84
I haven't included any information about marketing.
85
I've got a lot of notes about it, but I'm not sure how to present them.
86
I wouldn't mention that if I were you.
87
You've only got a short time for your presentation and you've got quite a lot of material here already.
88
But you should provide some figures about output.
89
Have you found out from the company's website how many nets they actually produce?
90
Yes, it's over 30 million a year.
91
Right.
92
Then I'm not sure how to finish off.
93
What do you think about including something on potential...
94
That is the end of part three.
95
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
96
Thank you.

对话背景与情境

这段视频展示了雅思听力第三部分的典型场景:商科学生爱德华与导师讨论他关于“蚊帐产品开发”的研究报告。对话围绕蚊帐的历史、改进及实际应用展开,涵盖了产品研发、跨文化背景等内容,不仅能帮助学习者熟悉雅思听力的学术讨论场景,也是看YouTube学英语的优质素材,适合用于雅思口语练习和日常表达积累。

日常交流高频短语5则

  • get hold of:意为“获得,找到”。如对话中“人们可能难以轻易获得杀虫剂”,可用于表达获取某物的困难。
  • a major step forward:“重大进展”。描述产品升级或技术突破时可用,如“蚊帐添加杀虫剂是一大进步”。
  • compared with:“与……相比”。用于对比事物差异,是口语中常用的逻辑连接短语。
  • the bigger picture:“更宏观的视角”。导师提醒爱德华在报告中涵盖整体背景,可引申为“全局观”。
  • case study:“案例研究”。学术讨论中常用,指对具体实例的分析,适用于英语口语练习中的话题展开。

分步影子跟读指南

针对视频中学术对话的特点,采用shadowspeak技巧可有效提升听力和口语能力:
1. 先完整听一遍对话,关注整体逻辑(如爱德华选择蚊帐的原因、产品改进点),建立内容框架。
2. 逐句跟读,重点模仿连读(如“travelling round”)和语调(导师提问时的升调),提高英语发音的自然度。
3. 暂停视频,用自己的话复述关键信息(如“Olliset蚊帐的优势”),强化语言输出能力。
4. 针对复杂句式(如“直到20世纪中叶才研发出杀虫剂处理的蚊帐”),拆分结构并反复练习,提升口语表达的流畅性。

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
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的were invented · were made · be treated
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 you decided · I've chosen · they've had

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。
