Section 2.
2
You will hear a fitness manager of a leisure club talking to some new members.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 and 12.
4
Now listen and answer questions 11 and 12.
5
On behalf of LP Clubs, I'd like to welcome you all here today.
6
My name's Sandy Fisher and I'm one of the fitness managers here.
7
Before we start our tour of the club, I'll just run through some basic information about the facilities we have here,
8
including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership available.
9
Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool, which at 25 metres isn't Olympic-sized,
10
but now we've expanded it to eight lanes, it's much wider.
11
This means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane.
12
Unfortunately, there isn't space for an outdoor pool here, but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable,
13
which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days.
14
Our recently refurbished fitness suite has all the latest exercise equipment,
15
including 10 new running machines and a wide range of weight training machines.
16
Each member is given full training in how to operate the equipment, and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice.
17
Although we do have adult-only times after six and at certain times at weekends, children are well catered for.
18
Older children continue to benefit from a wide range of tuition, anything from trampolining to yoga.
19
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 13 to 20.
20
Now listen and answer questions 13 to 20.
21
One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them.
22
This starts on day one with your personal assessment.
23
You are asked to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any health problems.
24
One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.
25
The trainer will then take you through the safety rules for using the equipment in the fitness suite.
26
In your next exercise session, a personal trainer will work with you to make sure you understand these.
27
It's very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries.
28
There's a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights.
29
At the end of the personal assessment,
30
the trainer will draw up a plan outlining what you should try to achieve within a six-week period.
31
This will then be reviewed at the the end of the six weeks.
32
Now I'll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available.
33
All members must pay a joining fee of £90 in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees.
34
Gold membership entitles you to free entry at all LP clubs.
35
There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns, so if you travel a lot, this will be a great advantage.
36
Individual gold membership costs £50 a month, and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.
37
Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to use the club during the day.
38
And so LP gives booking preferences to Premier members at peak times.
39
This means you'll find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you.
40
Reciprocal arrangements with other LP clubs are available to Premier members.
41
Premier membership is for individuals only, but you'll be sent passes for guests every month.
42
The monthly fee is £65.
43
You don't have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club.
44
We provide robes and hair dryers in the changing rooms, but it's very important to remember your photo card, because you won't be able to get in without it.
45
For people who aren't working during the day...
46
That is the end of section two.
47
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
48
Thank you.
本课概述
在本课中，您将通过收听健身俱乐部经理与新成员的对话，练习英语听力和口语表达。您将了解健身俱乐部的设施、会员类型及其他相关信息，同时通过影子跟读的方式，提升您的发音和语调。这将有助于您更好地准备雅思口语练习以及日常交流。
关键词汇与短语
- 健身俱乐部 (leisure club) - 提供锻炼和休闲设施的场所.
- 游泳池 (swimming pool) - 用于游泳的设施.
- 会员类型 (types of membership) - 不同种类的健身俱乐部会员.
- 个人评估 (personal assessment) - 针对个人健康状况的评估.

练习建议
在进行影子跟读练习时，您可以选择跟随视频中的健身经理的讲话。由于他的语速稍快，因此建议您先慢速播放视频，以便清晰理解每个单词和短语。可以尝试先静音，然后自己模仿他说话的节奏和语调，再渐渐恢复原音。这样，能够帮助您提高发音的准确性。同时，在视频播放过程中，注意听清楚重点内容，比如健身器材的使用和会员的福利。随着您的水平提升，您可以逐步提高播放速度，以增强您的听力和口语能力。记得在练习时，关注您的情感表达和语调变化，这对提升雅思口语分数尤为重要。利用这个影子跟读的技巧，您不仅能掌握新词汇，还能改善与他人交流的能力。通过不断的练习，您将变得更加自信，能够更流利地用英语与他人进行对话。
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。
