Part 3.
2
Study options.
3
You will hear a professor talking to her student about his study options.
4
Before you listen, you have 30 seconds to read questions 21 to 24.
5
Come in, Rangie.
6
Thank you, Professor Anderson.
7
I'd be meaning to contact you, but I just got back last night.
8
Where have you been?
9
conferences in Massachusetts and New York.
10
For physics, Yes.
11
Great.
12
I'm looking forward to attending conferences one day.
13
I imagine that won't be so far away.
14
I was extremely impressed with your classical mechanics exam.
15
In fact, you were one of only two students out of 180 to get an A+.
16
Wow.
17
I really did enjoy the course.
18
So how can I help you?
19
I'm sorry to say it's a bit of a long story.
20
You see, I've had to rethink my studies completely, and I wonder if I'm making the right decision.
21
You're doing two degrees, aren't you?
22
Science and Arts.
23
I was doing two, I've decided to focus on science.
24
O?
25
It all came about because I wanted to study abroad for a year.
26
I was thinking about Edinburgh.
27
Firstly, I sought approval from the Maths and Physics departments.
28
I wanted to take quantum mechanics and computer simulations at Edinburgh.
29
Those are third -year courses, right?
30
Yeah.
31
So, I received approval from maths and physics.
32
The stumbling block was the higher authority, the science faculty.
33
When I submit my application, It was rejected.
34
What?
35
It turns out that students who study abroad for a year can only do first or second year courses, or third year courses in a subject that's not their major.
36
I've never heard that before.
37
Needless to say, the lecturers who approved my transfer hadn't either, and nor does the regulation appear on the Science Faculty website.
38
That'd be right, this faculty is disorganised.
39
So, then I thought I'd take arts courses at Edinburgh and leave the third year maths until I came back.
40
I quickly got approval for second year history and philosophy from the arts faculty.
41
When are you heading off?
42
That's just it.
43
During this process, I began to think carefully about my studies.
44
To be honest, the arts courses I've done were less challenging than the science ones, so I've decided to drop arts.
45
Before you listen to the rest of the conversation, you have 30 seconds to read questions 25 to 30.
46
Where do I figure in all this?
47
The first week after I'd made my decision, I felt fine.
48
Without doing the arts courses, I could finish my science degree earlier.
49
But this week...
50
I've had some doubts.
51
When I started the two degrees, lecturers in the science faculty assured me that these days scientists need a rounded education,
52
which they get if they take some arts courses.
53
I was even told I'd learn to write and think better if I did philosophy.
54
I do think the claims made by some lecturers are dubious.
55
Then there's the fact that now I'm going to be stuck here next year.
56
I was so excited about going to Europe.
57
It is disappointing to give that up.
58
Still, the reason I wanted to contact you, Rangyi, is that I'm looking for students to work six hours a week in my lab.
59
It's paid work, not highly paid, but probably better than working in a bar.
60
Also, we've just bought a new laser, which you'd learn to use.
61
That sounds excellent.
62
As to going abroad, why not do your postgraduate studies in the US?
63
There's some amazing physics being done in Massachusetts.
64
If you like, I can send you the papers from the conference.
65
Thanks!
66
Of course, I'd be sad to lose you if you did go abroad, but an A + student like you has a very good chance of winning a major scholarship.
67
Goodness, I've never even considered that.
68
Personally, I think committing yourself to science is the way to go.
69
Thanks, Professor Anderson.
70
You've taken a load off my mind.
71
Now I don't have to deal with Hegel or Leibniz.
72
I've plenty of time to read those conference papers.
73
That is the end of part three.
74
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers, to part three.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
在学习英语时,实际的口语练习是非常重要的。通过观看这个视频,您将能听到一位教授与学生之间的对话,这不仅能帮助您学习专业术语,也可以让您感受到学术环境中的真实交流。与此对话相关的主题包括学位选择和学习过程中的决策,这些都是学习者在实际生活中可能会遇到的情况。练习这些对话,能够提高您的英语口语流利度,使您在将来的学术交流中更加自信。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
在此视频中,您会发现一些关键的语法结构和表达方式,以下是几个例子:
- 过去完成时:例如“我刚回来”,这是展示过去发生的动作对现在影响的有效方式。
- 条件句:如“如果我能去爱丁堡,我会学习量子力学。”这种句式在表达假设和未来希望时非常常见。
- 名词短语:视频中的“科学与艺术学位”,这种表达方式在分享专业背景和学术成就时非常实用。
通过重复和模仿这些句子,您可以更有效地掌握语法以及日常交流中常用的表达方式。
常见发音陷阱
在视频里,有几个词语和短语可能会对学习者的发音造成困扰:
- “conference”(会议):注意字母“c”的发音,许多学习者可能会把它发得过于轻或重。
- “approval”(批准):这个词的重音在第二个音节,学习者需要反复练习以确保发音准确。
- “quantum mechanics”(量子力学):这个科学词汇相对复杂,正确的语调和节奏在表达时至关重要。
通过英语影子跟读,您可以在跟随发音的同时,练习语调和节奏,达到更自然的发音效果。记得使用shadowspeak的方式,把这些错误的发音习惯转变为流利的口语表达。
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。
