Part 3 You will hear two education students discussing an assignment on teaching handwriting to children.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
4
How are you getting on with the assignment on handwriting?
5
Not too bad.
6
You know, I hadn't realised that children benefit in so many ways from learning to write.
7
It's such an important skill, and yet most people think handwriting is less important than in the past,
8
because people hardly ever write by hand these days.
9
Yes, and all the evidence suggests children should learn to write by hand before they learn to type, not least because it helps their memory.
10
That's right.
11
The physical act of writing helps children to remember letters.
12
That seems pretty obvious when you think about it.
13
What's less obvious is how it helps develop their concentration.
14
They have to sit still and focus on one thing.
15
Yeah, that aspect of handwriting had never occurred to me before.
16
Same here.
17
I'm not sure I understand how it improves children's imagination, though.
18
Well, there was that study which showed that primary age children generated more ideas
19
when they were writing by hand than using a keyboard.
20
I would have guessed that would be the case.
21
Hmm, yeah.
22
I'd never associated spatial awareness with handwriting either.
23
I thought spatial awareness was more to do with knowing where you are in relation to objects or other people.
24
Hmm, I thought that too.
25
But good spatial awareness is essential for writing because you have to space words correctly.
26
It's not just fine motor skills that improve through writing, as I'd always assumed.
27
Hmm.
28
Handwriting is so much harder for children with dyspraxia, who have problems coordinating movement.
29
It's good there are lots of things you can do in the classroom to help them.
30
They need so much more support with letter formation.
31
You need to play lots of games to help them distinguish letter shapes.
32
It takes a lot of patience.
33
Yeah.
34
I like the idea of using one of those pens that lights up if you press too hard.
35
That seems like a really simple solution.
36
Yes, absolutely.
37
I'm not sure there's much you can do about children with dyspraxia writing very slowly.
38
It's more important to focus on accuracy, and as they get more confident, I think they eventually speed up.
39
One quite simple thing you can do is to use grid paper.
40
So they write each letter in a box, and that trains them to space the letters correctly.
41
Indeed.
42
That's more important for legibility than trying to get them to write in a straight line.
43
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
44
Thank you.
45
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
46
For some children, it might be better to teach them to write on a laptop rather than by hand, like children with dyslexia.
47
They often really struggle with handwriting and some just give up.
48
Yeah, it's not as frustrating for them if they get things wrong.
49
On a keyboard, they can be more willing to have a go.
50
But I read that developing fluency isn't any faster.
51
That's right.
52
Did you read that article on the benefits of teaching print rather than cursive handwriting, where the letters are joined up?
53
Yes.
54
Well, in the past, cursive writing was certainly considered more stylish and educated, but not anymore.
55
Teachers' attitudes have changed because it's been proved that cursive is more difficult to learn,
56
especially for children with learning difficulties who find joining up letters really challenging.
57
I agree.
58
I was always worried that my poor handwriting affected my exam results, and now research shows that I was right to worry.
59
I'm sure a lot of students think it's unfair that they're being judged on their handwriting, not just their knowledge.
60
Marks are definitely affected if examiners can't read the script.
61
That's why it's always been so important to teach children to write legibly.
62
Do you think the role of handwriting will change in the future?
63
I can't see that changing much.
64
Touch typing still isn't taught in most schools, which is a shame.
65
But maybe that won't be necessary in the future, because people will also be able to write by hand on digital devices.
66
Anyway, teachers understand the value of handwriting.
67
It's a basic life skill.
68
True.
69
However, the fact is that people are writing by hand less and less and relying on digital devices.
70
That does cause some problems.
71
Hmm.
72
You mean like note-taking?
73
There are lots of apps for that.
74
And for reading historical documents, apparently.
75
But my mum is shocked by my awful spelling and the fact that my punctuation is really inconsistent.
76
I think you can put that down to lack of practice.
77
I expect so.
78
Personally, I miss writing by hand.
79
I hardly ever write anything now.
80
I remember my grandparents had such beautiful handwriting and it was so individual.
81
Nobody I know would be able to identify my handwriting now.
82
It's a shame.
83
I know.
84
I feel the same way.
85
I used to write a diary by hand and now I do that digitally.
86
It just seems less effort to do it that way.
87
So it's not just a problem.
88
That is the end of part three.
89
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
90
Thank you.
91
Thank you.

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在这个视频中，两位教育专业的学生通过讨论儿童学习写作的益处，展示了写作对孩子发展的多重影响。学习手写不仅是掌握一种基本的沟通工具，更是增强儿童的记忆力与注意力的重要途径。对于正在学习英语的你来说，通过这段对话练习口语，可以提升你的表达能力和自信心。利用这些真实的对话内容，模仿发音和语调，将帮助你在与他人交流时更加流利，也能提高英语发音。
语法与表达在上下文中的运用
- “I'd never associated ... with ...” - 这个结构用来表示以前未曾联想到的事物，可以帮助你在谈论新观点时更加自信。
- “It's good there are lots of things you can do in the classroom” - 这里使用了简单的现在时态，适合表达普遍真理或常规行为，适合英语学习者掌握。
- “You need to play lots of games” - 这种强调行为的重要性的句型可以提升你的口语表达，尤其是在提供建议时非常有效。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有些词汇可能对学习者来说尤其棘手。比如“dyspraxia”和“dyslexia”，这些专业词汇不仅发音复杂，而且容易在口语中混淆。此外，视频的节奏较快，可能会导致听者在跟读时踩到发音陷阱。为此，结合shadow speech的方法进行练习，可以帮助你逐步掌握这些发音，并提高英语发音的准确性。在观看看YouTube学英语的视频时，尝试轮流模仿和重复，这是一种有效的学习策略。
最后，随着你习惯这种影子语音练习，尽量扩展到其它主题的对话，这样能更全面地提高口语能力和灵活度。记住，持续的练习和正念的关注是提升英语口语的关键！
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。
