1
Section 2 You will hear a radio programme about starting a business.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
4
Good evening.
5
My name is Arthur Jones.
6
I'm very glad to have this opportunity to speak to you over the radio.
7
The host asked me to give a talk about my experience of starting my own business.
8
I can't say my business is successful, but there are some things that I want to share with you, which I think will be helpful if you want to start your own company.
9
I've talked to many young people, and they told me that they are afraid of making mistakes when they start their business.
10
What I want to say is that mistakes are very common, especially when you do something new.
11
Mistakes can actually show you where you need to improve, so you can take actions about them
12
and use the chance to learn new methods this is a
13
very important attitude you should have besides most mistakes are not
14
that fatal don't be too anxious
15
when they occur next I want to go on to talk about self-confidence
16
which is quite important in achieving business success being self-confident means
17
that you can have faith in yourself and what you do self-confidence can be gained through hard work, even playing sports.
18
However, sometimes self-confidence may make you ignore problems and even cause failure.
19
Business leaders should remain calm and not take impulsive actions.
20
I know that when people start their business, they have confusions.
21
They don't know how they can be more professional.
22
They read business journals or watch related videos, but these don't seem to help sometimes.
23
My suggestion is that, instead of aimlessly trying many new things, they should always be committed to their goal.
24
As long as they stick to it, they will not be easily distracted or confused by other things, and they are sure to get better.
25
We will all meet difficulties, especially at the beginning.
26
We can't always rely on ourselves to solve all the problems.
27
I had a problem with marketing earlier this year.
28
Luckily, I found an expert to help me deal with it.
29
So there's always a way, but we should know how and when to seek help from these people.
30
Business leaders have different kinds of styles.
31
Some are very good at public speaking, others are very down to earth and have strong executive skills.
32
But in general, they should be able to win the respect from their employees
33
so that they can carry out their orders more easily.
34
There are times when a company might face risks.
35
During such times, leaders will need to take prompt actions and they can't always plan for distant future.
36
Leaders should analyse and deal with the risks with caution.
37
If they bear this in mind, there is always a way out.
38
Before you hear the rest of the radio programme, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
39
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
40
At the beginning of my business, I experimented with quite a few strategies, hoping to find out the best solution for my business.
41
Here is what I found.
42
At first, my company wanted to work out prices for the products and make them realistic.
43
However, prices are always changing, so they can't be fixed.
44
Another thing I always keep in mind is that leaders must stay committed to their jobs.
45
Without enough commitment, you may easily give up when problems happen.
46
I have some friends whose businesses didn't survive during difficult times.
47
It wasn't because they were stupid, it was just a lack of commitment.
48
I can't always be sure that my products or services are better than my competitors, but I pay attention to details and try to improve all the little things,
49
as they can actually make a big difference.
50
You might worry that you don't have a very clear and sophisticated business strategy.
51
Personally, I don't think it's a problem, because you will be changing them all the time anyway.
52
In terms of support, at any stage, we do need support from others to back up our business.
53
The support can really make a difference.
54
Before I started my business, my family helped me a lot, both financially and mentally.
55
There were also people who gave me advice on how to run businesses successfully.
56
However, these advice and ideas were not so practical to me, so I didn't really use them.
57
Looking back, I felt lucky that I followed my own way of thinking.
58
Also, I was short of funds back then, and I loaned money from the bank to start my company.
59
I was grateful for that.
60
That's what I want to share in today's program.
61
If you have any questions for me, please send it to my email which is...
62
That is the end of section 2.
63
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

本节课学习内容
本节课围绕一段关于创业的电台节目展开,学习者将通过练习提升听力理解与口语表达能力。内容涵盖创业心态、自信心培养、专业能力提升等实用话题,适合想要锻炼商务英语听力与口语的学习者。通过模仿节目中的对话,不仅能积累商务词汇,还能掌握自然的语音语调。

影子跟读(Shadow Speak)练习技巧
影子跟读(shadowspeak)是提升英语发音与口语流畅度的有效方法。针对本节目的语速与语调,可采用以下技巧:
- 逐句跟读,注重节奏:节目语速适中,带有自然的口语停顿。练习时先逐句播放,听完后立即跟读,模仿说话者的停顿与重音,尤其注意“mistakes are very common”这类短句的轻重变化,有助于提高英语发音的自然度。
- 抓住逻辑重音,强化语义:说话者在强调观点时会加重语气,如“mistakes can actually show you where you need to improve”中的“actually”和“improve”。跟读时突出这些词汇,能更好地理解语义,同时提升口语表达的感染力。
- 重复难点句式,突破流畅性:对于“Business leaders should remain calm and not take impulsive actions”这类较长句式,可多次重复跟读,重点练习连读与弱读(如“and not”的连读),逐步缩短与原音的时间差,增强影子说话(shadow speech)的连贯性。
坚持每天15分钟的影子跟读(shadowspeaks)练习,结合对本节目的针对性训练,能有效提升口语表达能力,让你的英语发音更标准、流畅。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|

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。
