Section 2.
2
You will hear a manager talking to company employees about moving to a new office building.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16 on page 3.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
6
Thank you for coming to today's meeting, everyone.
7
I'd like to give you some information about moving to our new office building so that you know what the plans are.
8
So, first, let me explain why we're moving.
9
Even though we've taken on quite a few new employees over the last year, we still have plenty of space here, but the problem is where we are.
10
But we've now found the perfect place in the city centre.
11
Originally, we chose this building in the suburbs because the rent was much cheaper, but our clients aren't always keen on coming out here.
12
I visited the new office last week, and I'm pretty sure that you'll find the greatest advantage is the huge windows.
13
I'm not sure we'll need desk lamps at all.
14
Of course, we'll have everything checked out to make sure we can control the temperature of each office,
15
and we may have to put some room dividers in some offices so that you're not disturbed by your colleagues' conversations.
16
We've just set a date for the move.
17
The finance department wanted us to wait until after the end of the tax year, April, but we've decided to move earlier.
18
As soon as the sales conference is over in January, we'll move.
19
That'll give us plenty of time to organise everything before you start taking your annual holidays.
20
We've already put quite a bit of information about the move on the company website, like restaurants and cafes around the new office,
21
but we're still checking bus routes and things like that, so transport information will be up by next Monday.
22
Another thing still to get confirmed is which car park we can use and how many people can use it.
23
OK, let's move on to some practical things you have to do now.
24
Don't worry yet about taking home your photos and things like that.
25
That can be sorted out much nearer the time, along with getting rid of any unwanted paperwork.
26
We need to find out how many new desks and chairs to order, so could you make a list of any of the ones you use that are scratched or broken?
27
Just one thing, all documents containing non-confidential information can go into the general packing boxes,
28
but when it comes to documents containing confidential information, you'll need to put these in special bags.
29
You'll be given grey plastic ones for this.
30
So one thing to do now is go through your filing cabinets and identify which folders are confidential.
31
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20 on page 4.
32
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
33
Now, to help you prepare for the move, I'd like to talk about lifting heavy things.
34
You shouldn't really have to do this because a removal company will be used, but you might want to move a box out of your way or something.
35
It's surprising how often people don't remember to use the handles on the boxes, although they all have them.
36
You've all had the leaflet explaining that you should keep your back straight and your head up when lifting.
37
And it also tells you to stand with your feet firmly on the ground and a little bit apart, so I think that's clear.
38
But the leaflet emphasises the importance of not twisting to the left or right once you've picked something up, and if you're like me, that's easy to forget.
39
I'd also like to talk about papers.
40
If they've been stored for a long time, they can get mould on them, a sort of fungus, and as soon as you start moving them, the fungus gets disturbed.
41
As you know, you can't open the windows in this building, but I suggest you use the gloves that we'll provide.
42
We'll also get some face masks, but we've been advised that these shouldn't be necessary.
43
What you should do is drink one or two litres of water a day.
44
That's essential.
45
and the best time to do this sort of work is after your afternoon break, so that you can leave the building soon afterwards.
46
Now, are there any questions?
47
That is the end of Section 2.
48
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
49
Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
50
Thank you.
为什么用这个视频练习口语?
这个视频展示了一位经理在公司内部会议上讨论搬到新办公楼的计划。通过聆听这样的对话,英语学习者可以模拟真实的职场环境,增强自己的口语能力和听力理解。这种雅思口语练习的方式非常有效,不仅让你熟悉职场用语,还能帮助你提高表达能力。通过英语影子跟读,学习者可以在跟随视频的同时反复练习,逐渐克服语言障碍,增强自信心。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
视频中使用了一些重要的语言结构,包括:
- 现在进行时:如“we're moving”,强调当前正在进行的动作,非常适合描述实时发生的事件。
- 将来时:例如“we'll move”,用于讨论即将发生的事情。这是职场交流中常用的时态,帮助学习者掌握时间表达的灵活性。
- 条件句:如“if you’re like me”,用于表达假设和建议,展示了日常交流中的自然表达方式。
- 动词短语:例如“put some room dividers”,体现了具体的操作动词在职场背景下的应用,增强实用性。
学习这些结构不仅对雅思成绩有帮助,也能提高你的口语应用能力。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中,某些单词和短语的发音可能会造成困惑。例如,“temperature”(温度)和“documents”(文件)的发音在不同的口音中可能会有所差异。同时,强调了如何正确发音“confidential”(机密的),这对于职场环境尤为重要。注意这样的发音练习可以帮助你在实际交流中更清晰地表达自己的意思,减少误解。
通过这个视频,你可以有效地进行看YouTube学英语的练习,特别是结合shadowing site的资源,提升自己的听说能力。记得常常观看,并进行反复练习,让语言学习变得更为高效和有趣!
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。
