Now turn to Section 3 on page 6.
2
Section 3.
3
Following instructions from their tutor, you will hear two economic students called James and Anna
4
discussing a recent survey about the cost of buying a house in New Zealand.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25 on page 6.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
7
OK.
8
For this week's assignment, you're going to assess the value survey on house prices.
9
What were the survey's findings?
10
Was it a reliable survey? survey.
11
Work in pairs, discuss what you've read and generate some ideas for the assignment.
12
Alright.
13
Shall we work together, Anna?
14
Sure, James.
15
So, um, first, how did the values survey actually measure the cost of houses?
16
Because there are lots of ways of calculating it.
17
Well, it looked at all houses, didn't it?
18
New and old.
19
So it started with average incomes across the whole workforce and then worked out house prices in relation to that.
20
I mean, to what people were earning.
21
So it's about affordability, what people pay in real terms.
22
There's no information about the size of a house a typical family can buy.
23
No, that's a limitation.
24
OK, then in the assignment we should give some background.
25
I mean, what's different about the value survey?
26
Yeah, there's lots of these surveys every year.
27
Value is actually one of the newer ones, but it stands out because it gives figures for a range of the largest urban centres which none of the others do.
28
OK, good point.
29
Then one finding was that New Zealand houses are relatively expensive.
30
Why is that?
31
Because most of them are built of wood, and that's quite cheap.
32
Yeah, it is.
33
But the problem is, there are too many regulations and restrictions about where you can build.
34
So if more building sites were created for housing, the costs would come down.
35
That's it, isn't it?
36
Because there are plenty of contractors ready to do the work.
37
Exactly.
38
So, um, what else?
39
Well, what about transport?
40
I mean, it's all very well to talk about new housing, but how are people going to get there?
41
Is the survey proposing new roads, new rail networks?
42
It should be a coordinated approach.
43
Yeah, but the survey didn't mention it.
44
It's a missed opportunity because a commitment to funding public transport from the outset would improve air quality in our cities.
45
True.
46
OK then, the next survey, what can we expect?
47
It'll look at all the same places, right?
48
Exactly the same.
49
But the next one will give an idea of the way prices are moving.
50
The government may have to think about how house prices are affecting society.
51
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
52
Then in the assignment, we need to evaluate how reliable the survey was.
53
So we should look at some of the criticism made by commentators.
54
OK.
55
So there's the economist Andrew Coleman.
56
He actually questioned whether the survey was money well spent, because it only looked at a single year in isolation.
57
A year when it was difficult to borrow money to buy a house, pushing up costs.
58
So he thought the survey should consider a longer timeframe.
59
Did you get that article by Professor Massey?
60
Because he's the leading authority on this topic.
61
Yeah, interesting.
62
He realised the method used to calculate how much money people had didn't take savings into account.
63
So actually, people looking for a house were richer than the survey shows, making houses cheaper in real terms.
64
All right.
65
Then Richard Bernard, his criticism was original.
66
He found out they were using quite outdated software to process all the information they gathered, which was crazy because they actually had the money available for an upgrade.
67
So even though it was a highly regarded team of people, the way the statistics were interpreted was open to question.
68
OK.
69
Then Professor Lowndes, he thought the report was just badly written.
70
That's right.
71
After all the work that went into gathering valid information, The finished report was just too long and weakly structured.
72
And there was too much unnecessary detail.
73
And the last one, Maria Darling.
74
She made a point about the properties that were evaluated.
75
There weren't enough of them, you mean?
76
No, it wasn't that.
77
But they were never identified for privacy reasons.
78
But she thought the actual properties used should have been revealed, you know.
79
The process should have been transparent if the people are going to have full confidence in the survey.
80
Right.
81
So a lot of criticism them.
82
Yeah, but this sort of research is often controversial.

本片段的口语训练目标
这段关于新西兰房价调查的对话，非常适合训练英语影子跟读能力，尤其是提升在讨论学术话题时的流畅度。对话中两人围绕调查方法、局限性及社会影响展开交流，句子结构自然，包含大量实用的逻辑连接词，能帮助学习者掌握如何有条理地表达观点，突破“边想边说”的瓶颈，实现更自然的口语输出。
实用短语库
- stand out because...（因……而突出）
- a range of...（一系列……）
- it's a limitation（这是一个局限）
- a missed opportunity（一个错失的机会）
- in real terms（从实际情况来看）
- coordinated approach（协调的方法）
这些短语适用于学术讨论、工作汇报等场景，背诵并模仿使用能快速提升口语表达的地道性。
攻克发音与节奏难点
对话中存在不少弱读和连读现象，比如“it looked at”中的“looked at”连读为/ˈlʊkt æt/，“what people were earning”中“were”弱读为/wə(r)/。通过英语影子跟读练习，可有效改善这些发音细节。建议使用专业的shadowing site，反复跟读并对比原声，重点关注句子的轻重音和停顿节奏。此外，“affordability”（负担能力）、“regulations”（法规）等长单词的发音也需注意，可拆分音节逐一练习，结合上下文强化记忆，逐步提高英语发音的准确性。
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。
