Part 3.
2
You will hear three students discussing their research findings on four-wheel drive vehicles.
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, guys.
6
How have you been getting on with your research on four-wheel drive vehicles?
7
Fine.
8
And we've been working hard on that to collect relevant data.
9
Shall we discuss what we've each found together?
10
Yes.
11
And then we can think about how we will put our data together.
12
As you see, we have to do a presentation in next week's marketing seminar, okay?
13
Yeah, sure.
14
I think first we should talk about the purposes for which these cars were originally designed.
15
Oh, I found some data on that here.
16
Well, four-wheel drives, or sports utility vehicles as they're officially known, SUVs for short,
17
were actually first designed for off-road use by those who need to get to the areas with quite a distance.
18
But the interesting thing is that at present, they are also frequently used by people who live in cities.
19
That's right.
20
From this, we can see how they make use of them differently.
21
Then, in the second part, let's talk about their advantages, shall we?
22
Yeah, let me look at here.
23
Okay, first, they're generally used for commercial reasons, right?
24
Yes, that's the same with what I've found.
25
Okay, what else?
26
Well, another advantage from my notes is that the power of the engine is increased.
27
Yes, I think that's a big benefit.
28
In addition, I've got one more point here.
29
SUVs are heavier, so they're suitable for towing larger loads.
30
So that's why SUVs have become so popular in the market then?
31
Oh, that's part of it.
32
But they've gained popularity now for rather different reasons.
33
For example, relevant research shows that people buy them for business mainly because of the image they present.
34
And nowadays, many moms like to drive their kids to school in SUVs because they think that they're safe.
35
So that's another reason.
36
And then I think a larger seating capacity is also a factor.
37
You know, we can get about seven people into one SUV, while in an ordinary car there are only five seats.
38
Yeah, and I think that's why families with two or more children like to buy SUVs.
39
Right, and another thing I've found from my research is that drivers tend to buy SUVs with higher seats, which means they can get a better view of the traffic ahead.
40
Yeah, so these are all the reasons.
41
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
42
Now, listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
43
But I think some of these reasons just don't work.
44
For example, to some extent, SUVs are safe, but if we look at them in a collision, they can do terrible damage to a small car.
45
So I think it's just a misconception.
46
Hmm.
47
I agree with you.
48
So next, shall we discuss the disadvantages of SUVs?
49
Okay.
50
So, firstly, from what we've just considered, we can see that SUVs are harmful in central areas,
51
and the damage they cause is highly related to their weight, right?
52
Yes.
53
And I've also got something about their chassis.
54
The bodywork on SUVs is stiffer, so it doesn't crumple to absorb impact in an accident the way it does in smaller cars.
55
Hmm.
56
Moreover, as SUVs have a high center of gravity, it's more likely for them to roll over than ordinary cars.
57
That's another disadvantage from my research.
58
Good.
59
So, these are all the disadvantages.
60
How about the last part?
61
Well, maybe we could end up with a few ideas on how to limit the use of these SUVs.
62
Okay.
63
For one thing, I think we should restrict them to people like farmers, to whom SUVs are used very frequently.
64
Hmm, that's a good idea, but it might be difficult to enforce, and I think companies could also increase the insurance paid by SCV drivers,
65
as we know it will cause more damage when there is an accident.
66
Hmm, that's a good idea too.
67
I think we've got some very useful information together.
68
Next, I'll write up these notes onto the slide so
69
that everyone can see them when we give the presentation in the seminar.
70
Good idea.
71
That is the end of part three.
72
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
背景与上下文
在这段对话中，三位学生讨论了他们关于四轮驱动车辆的研究结果。尽管这些车辆最初是为越野使用而设计的，但如今它们在城市中的使用也逐渐增加。这场对话不仅体现了学生间的合作研究，还是一个了解现代四轮驱动车辆的绝佳机会。通过这种讨论，学生们能够更深入地理解汽车的用途、优缺点以及当前市场趋势，对学习者来说，这是一个很好的听力与口语结合练习。
日常交流中的五个常用短语
- Get on with - 继续做某事，例如：你们的研究进展如何？
- Put our data together - 整理数据，反映了研究合作的重要性。
- Originally designed for - 最初设计用于，帮助理解产品的本质和目的。
- Another advantage - 另一个好处，适合在讨论中提出不同的观点。
- Harmful in central areas - 在中心区域有害，适合讨论事物的负面影响。
逐步跟读指南
通过本视频的难度，学习者可以采用以下步骤进行有效的跟读练习，提升他们的雅思口语练习能力：
- 听力训练：先静听整个对话，了解大意和主要讨论内容。
- 逐句跟读：边听边模仿每一句的发音和语调。建议使用shadow speech的方法，进行每段短语的重复练习。
- 录音对比：将自己的录音与视频中的对话进行对比，这样能清晰识别发音和节奏上的差异。
- 反复练习：不间断地进行跟读，直至能够自然流利地表达，增强口语流利度。
- 讨论与分享：找伙伴讨论你所学的内容，或者在网络上分享你的理解和经验，参与到shadowing site中，与其他学习者交流。
通过以上方法，学习者不仅能够提高单词的发音，还能加深对对话内容的理解，进而在雅思口语练习中取得更好的成绩。使用shadowspeaks工具增强你的跟读效果，定期练习将使你的英语水平稳步提升。
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。
