4
So, Hannah, what made you want to go on a paragliding course?
5
It sounds like an extremely risky thing to want to do, even for a journalist like yourself.
6
Well, I thought it was a bit risky too.
7
I mean, as a sports journalist, I spend my life watching people do different sports, and I've done a fair number of them myself.
8
It's one of the qualifications for the job, I suppose.
9
Anyway, a couple of years ago, I was actually in Switzerland playing golf with friends.
10
I was researching for an article on golf courses, and, you know, golf isn't the most exciting of sports.
11
Anyway, I was looking down the course, planning my next shot or something, when I saw these paragliders floating down from the heights.
12
I thought to myself, that looks like fun.
13
Perhaps I should have a go at it myself.
14
So you went on a course in France, I believe.
15
That's right.
16
I'd actually tried to go on a paragliding course in England a few years ago.
17
I'd even paid the course fee, about £500.
18
But every time I went down to do the course, it was either too windy or it was raining.
19
So in the end, I got fed up and asked for my money back.
20
Anyway, looking on the internet, I found this rather wonderful place called Dune de Pila on the coast in southwest France.
21
It's actually the highest sand dune in Europe, and they run courses there.
22
The price was a bit higher with the travel, but it was a really nice place, and since sunshine was almost guaranteed, I went for it.
23
Great.
24
And can you tell me, are there any advantages to jumping off a sand dune?
25
I imagine it's rather less dangerous than jumping off a mountain, isn't it?
26
Well, it isn't so high.
27
Only about 150 metres, in fact.
28
But wherever you fall, it's going to hurt, so from that point of view, it doesn't necessarily make a lot of difference.
29
But the good thing is that the beach guarantees you a relatively soft landing too soft
30
if you go off the beach and into the water, because then you'll need rescuing, although there's usually a steady breeze to keep you from going into the sea.
31
And what's the main difficulty for a beginner?
32
I imagine it's taking off and landing.
33
The major problem for a complete beginner like myself is actually learning how to hold your paraglider up in the air, you know, so that both sides open properly.
34
They only allow you to run off the edge and fly when you've mastered that technique.
35
So I didn't get to fly till after lunch on my first day.
36
Getting your paraglider open is quite tricky to start with.
37
It makes you feel a bit silly when you see other people happily flying around below you or above you all morning.
38
And when you actually start flying, how does your teacher tell you what to do?
39
Does he fly along beside you?
40
No. It sounds a nice idea and I'd have felt a lot safer if I'd had someone beside me.
41
In fact, I listened to my instructor Chantal through an earphone.
42
She stayed down below and spoke into a small microphone device to tell me what to do.
43
It was generally very quiet, calm and civilised, except when she raised her voice to shout at other flies to keep away from me.
44
And then you really heard her.
45
And is landing a problem?
46
Surprisingly not.
47
I was expecting something rather violent.
48
You know, I've come off a horse in my time, and that's a lot rougher, I can tell you.
49
This was a relatively soft landing.
50
The sand cushions you a bit, so hardly more of a bump than hopping off a park bench.
51
And you're wearing a helmet, of course, rather like a biker's, so the danger's minimal.
52
But is it really as safe as you make out?
53
They say it is.
54
I mean, there are a couple of serious accidents every year, but the people I know who do it are very safety conscious.
55
Most sports, including slow earthbound ones like golf, have some element of risk.
56
I've known a few people get hit by golf balls, some of my own even.
57
Most of all, though, I was taken by the silence.
58
I mean, you're not disturbing anybody in your rather strange eccentric quest for thrills and new sensations.
59
That, for me, is the best thing and something I've rarely come across before.
60
Hannah, thank you.
61
A pleasure.

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在这段视频中，汉娜分享了她的滑翔伞经历，提供了一个极好的英语口语练习机会。通过模仿她的对话，学习者可以更加自信地进行英语口语练习。视频中汉娜描述了她在法国参加滑翔伞课程的难易程度与乐趣，借此学习者不仅能提高发音，还能在真实情境中应用语言技能。此外，观看这样的内容可以帮助学习者掌握如何在不同场景下进行有效沟通，增强与别人交流时的自然性。
语法与表达的上下文
在这段对话中，汉娜使用了一些关键语法结构和表达方式，学习者可以通过以下几个例子深入理解：
- 使用条件句："if you go off the beach and into the water." 这个句子展示了因果关系，非常适合在讲述经历时使用。
- 过去进行时："I was looking down the course." 通过这个结构，可以加强故事叙述的效果，使对话更加生动。
- 直接引语："She stayed down below and spoke into a small microphone." 使用直接引语使对话更加真实和具有临场感，有助于雅思口语练习时的表达。
- 比较级的使用："it isn't so high." 这种结构有助于进行比较时的准确表达。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有些单词及其发音对学习者来说可能比较困难，例如“paragliding”（滑翔伞）和“Switzerland”（瑞士）。特别是“paragliding”的发音，可能让非母语者感到挑战。此外，汉娜的口音在描述具体场景时可能会有些许地方口音，给学习者带来了不同的听力理解难度。因此，结合看YouTube学英语的方式进行shadow speak可以帮助学习者在实际场景中练习发音，避免常见的发音错误。掌握这些单词的正确发音，将有助于提升口语流利度，增强整体的交流能力。
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。
