Section 2.
2
You will hear an introductory talk to a group of parents about a special centre for young children.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14 on page 3.
4
now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14 good evening everyone
5
and welcome to the preschool family center it's really good to see
6
so many parents here
7
and I hope this talk will help you to find out more about what we do here
8
and how the centre works so you can decide if this sounds the right sort of place for your child.
9
Okay so first of all what is the preschool family centre?
10
Well basically it's a childhood education centre for children from three months up to five years old
11
but we're different from a lot of other organisations for preschool children.
12
We believe that the first educators of a child are their parents
13
and so the preschool family centre is organised as a cooperative by the parents,
14
which means it is the parents themselves who are responsible for running the centre and also for running each session.
15
So this means that we ask parents to attend the centre with their children on a regular basis.
16
In order to make this work, we offer training for parents,
17
teaching them the skills they need to work with children and run the sessions.
18
The children do all sorts of different activities – art,
19
music, singing and games – and these are all done in groups of mixed ages
20
because we believe that by learning to play together, children learn how to make choices and how to respect people and things.
21
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20 on page 3.
22
Now, listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
23
Now, some factual information.
24
Sessions run each morning from 9.30 to 12.30, and we have an extra session on Thursday afternoons, which is solely for older children,
25
where we do some activities to help prepare them for reading before they start school.
26
We feel this is really important and can make a big difference when they get to school.
27
And now, before you enrol your child in the centre, you need to make at least five visits with your child.
28
This is so you are fully aware of how the centre works before you enrol.
29
The centres are recognised as official pre-schools, and so each centre is entitled to funding from the government.
30
The centre is a really wonderful experience, but does require some work.
31
so I'd just like to talk about some of the commitments you will need to make
32
if you decide to go ahead and enrol your child.
33
A couple of points first.
34
Once you and your child have settled into the centre and are familiar with how things work, you will be asked to choose a particular job,
35
like secretary or gardener or librarian, or something to be responsible for.
36
and we have a meeting which we use to plan the program and each parent is expected to attend this.
37
Now just before we move on to answer any questions you have, I'd just quickly like to mention some of the ways you
38
and your child are able to get the most out of the centre.
39
It's important that you attend regularly.
40
This way, you'll get to know other parents well and your child will develop confidence while he or she is here.
41
Younger children might need to leave early.
42
It's better to leave early than to go home with an overtired child.
43
We do provide drinks for the children, but we ask you to make sure your child has a snack to eat during the morning.
44
No crisps or chocolate, please.
45
Right, I think I'll stop there and ask if anyone's got any questions.
46
That is the end of section two.
47
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
48
Now turn to section 3 on page 4.

本节课你将练习什么?

这节课围绕一段幼儿园家长说明会的对话展开,适合练习英语口语练习中的听力理解与跟读技巧。你会听到关于育儿中心运营模式、课程安排和家长职责的介绍,内容贴近日常生活,语速适中,非常适合用来训练影子跟读(shadow speak)能力。通过模仿这段对话,你能提升在正式场合下的表达流畅度,还能学习如何清晰传达信息。

核心词汇与短语

  • cooperative:合作组织(文中指家长共同运营的育儿中心)
  • enrol:注册(给孩子报名)
  • commitments:责任(家长需要履行的义务)
  • overtired:过度疲倦的
  • session:课程时段(文中指育儿中心的活动时间)

影子跟读练习技巧

这段视频的语速适中,语气亲切自然,很适合作为英语影子跟读的素材。练习时,建议先完整听一遍,熟悉内容后再开始跟读。注意模仿说话人的语调变化,比如介绍关键信息时的重音(如“混合年龄”“政府资助”),这样能让你的口语更有感染力。

如果觉得跟不上,可以使用shadowing site提供的逐句播放功能,或者用“shadowspeak”技巧:先暂停,重复刚才听到的句子,再逐渐缩短暂停时间。记住,影子跟读的关键是“同步”,不要等句子结束再开口,尽量做到边听边说。另外,对话中提到的“定期参加”“准备零食”等实用表达,要重点练习,因为它们在日常交流中很常用。

最后,每天坚持10-15分钟,你会发现自己的口语流畅度和听力理解能力都有明显提升。赶紧打开视频,开始你的英语口语练习吧!

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。
