1
More than half of Australians are backing a fall in house
2
prices as the government attempts to make housing more affordable for young Australians.
3
Live to Connor McGovern in Canberra, Connor, even homeowners are supporting the drop in prices.
4
And even more surprising, Jane, is that 62% of investors want to fall too.
5
That's according to polling out from Resolve Political Monitor, exclusively published by our friends at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
6
54% of respondents back a drop in house prices, just 11% oppose, and a fair chunk, 35% are unsure.
7
The government and the Prime Minister, Jane, they won't be displeased to hear this support from the public.
8
It's been using a, quote, cooked housing market as the justification to ram through investor tax changes in its budget.
9
Those negative gearing and capital gains tax discount windbacks, they're coming before the Senate as Parliament returns this week.
10
And with the support of the Greens, Jane, they're likely to pass.
11
Connor, thank you.
12
Australia's auction clearance rates have fallen to their lowest levels since the pandemic, with only about 40% of homes selling at auctions over the weekend.
13
For more, we'll bring in John Keogh, the economics editor of the Australian Financial Review in Canberra.
14
Hey, Johnny.
15
Hey, good morning.
16
Look, what's causing this softening?
17
Good morning, Thomas, Sarah.
18
Look, it is getting harder to sell a home out there, but it's easier to buy a home.
19
So bad or good news, depending on what side of the trade you're on there.
20
So the preliminary clearance rate was only 47% according to totality.
21
And that'll be revised lower as we get more pass-ins coming through in the next couple of days.
22
So the two causes of this really are those three interest rate rises we've seen so far this year,
23
combined with the uncertainty caused from the government's housing tax changes to capital gains and negative gearing.
24
What you're seeing is investors are really pulling back from auctions, but also just other buyers too,
25
because they're seeing prices fall in Sydney and Melbourne and just hanging back a bit more now.
26
Well, interestingly as well, Johnny, despite all the vitriol we've seen the past few weeks, a new poll has actually shown that voters support these lower home prices.
27
Yeah, this is an interesting one in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age Today, the Resolve poll, showing 54% of voters actually support lower house prices.
28
Only 11% are against that.
29
About one in three voters are undecided or neutral.
30
So I think the government will take some solace from that, given
31
that they say these tax changes are designed to make it
32
more affordable for first buyers to get into the market and compete against investors.
33
And elsewhere, the government, it looks like it's set to pass those contentious tax changes through Parliament, thanks to a deal they've done with the Greens.
34
It does look that way.
35
We've got two final sitting weeks of Parliament before it breaks for winter,
36
and they've done basically a deal with the Greens here to extend an inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme,
37
and the Greens look like they'll support the changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing.
38
Look, there might be a bit of argy-bargy over the next week or two with some minor changes to those taxes.
39
But I think they'll go through more or less as the government intends.
40
All right, Johnny, thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频进行口语练习？

该视频讨论了澳大利亚房地产市场的最新动态，特别是房价下跌的现象。通过观看和模仿这个视频，学习者不仅能够提高英语口语表达能力，还能深入了解当前社会热点话题。这种英语影子跟读的练习可以帮助学习者在实际语境中应用语言，提高他们的沟通技巧。将视频中的内容结合到日常对话中，可以帮助学习者自信地表达自己的观点，尤其是对于与时事相关的讨论非常有用。

语法与表达的上下文

在视频中，演讲者使用了几种关键的句子结构和表达方式，以下是一些重要的例子：

  • “More than half of Australians are backing...” - 使用“are backing”这样的表达，展示了当前的公众支持情况。在仿说时，可以学习如何使用现在进行时来表达当前的活动。
  • “The government attempts to make housing more affordable...” - 这里“attempts to”展示了目的和意图的表达。这种结构非常适合用来表达计划和努力的情况。
  • “It is getting harder to sell a home...” - 使用“is getting”作为持续时态的表达，为学习者提供了描述逐渐变化情况的语法结构。

掌握这些句型和表达方式，有助于在日常生活中更流畅地表达复杂的观点。

常见发音陷阱

视频中的几个词汇和表达在发音上可能会让学习者感到困难：

  • “affordable” - 这个词中的“for”发音可能会被误读，正确的发音是 /əˈfɔːrdəbl/。
  • “capital gains tax” - 此处的“capital”可能在快速语速下发音不清，需要特别注意词尾的发音。
  • “negative gearing” - 这个短语的重音在“gearing”上，学习者应注意重音和连读。

通过不断的英语口语练习，学习者可以克服这些发音障碍，进一步提高提高英语发音的能力。因此，花时间进行影子跟读练习，将有助于改善语音清晰度和流畅性。

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。
