Listening 2026-01 Test 3

==================== IELTS Listening Transcript ==================== PART 1 Speaker 0: You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. Now turn to section one. Section one. You will hear a telephone conversation between an employer from the Wild Dunes Spa and Resort and an applicant. First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. You will see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. Speaker 1: Hello. Is this John Murphy? Speaker 2: Hi. Yes. It is. Speaker 1: Hi, John. This is Ed Heisenberg from the Wild Dunes Spa and Resort calling about your application for our lifeguard position. Do you have a few minutes to talk? Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely. Speaker 0: The employer says that he is calling about the application for their lifeguard position. So lifeguard has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions one to five. Speaker 1: Hello. Is this John Murphy? Speaker 2: Hi. Yes. It is. Speaker 1: Hi, John. This is Ed Heisenberg from the Wild Dunes Spa and Resort calling about your application for our lifeguard position. Do you have a few minutes to talk? Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely. Speaker 1: Great. Could you give me your address? Speaker 2: Sure. My address is 45 Elsinore Court. Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Was that Eleanor? Could you spell that for me? Speaker 2: Sure. It's Elsinore, E L S I N O R E. Speaker 1: Okay. Thanks. And is this the number we should reach you at in the future? 099885767? Speaker 2: No. That's my home phone. But let me give you my mobile number instead. 077896245. Call me on that one. Speaker 1: Okay. I'll make a note of that. Could you tell me your availability? Speaker 2: Sure. I'm usually available during afternoons or weekends. I'd prefer not to be scheduled on weeknights because I work part time as a waiter. Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a problem since we don't stay open very late anyway. And do you have any other employment experience? Speaker 2: Yes. I've worked at a few other places. I was the baseball coach at Richmond High School last season. Speaker 1: I see. And do you have any other experience that you would like us to note on your application? Speaker 2: Yes. Last year I worked at the beach as a rescue diver. Speaker 1: Rescue diver? That sounds intense. Speaker 2: Well, it's really just like being a lifeguard except in the ocean instead of pool. So kind of like being a lifeguard at the world's largest pool. Speaker 1: I see. Speaker 0: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to 10. Now listen and answer questions six to 10. Speaker 1: So could you tell me about the relevant skills you have? I'm guessing a lot given your experience. Speaker 2: I'm CPR certified and have two years of diving experience. Speaker 1: Great. It sounds like you are well qualified for this position. When does your CPR certification expire? Speaker 2: I think in November, but let me quickly check my CPR card. Actually, it expires in October. Speaker 1: Okay. So regardless, you have it through the end of the summer. When is your ideal time to work? Speaker 2: Since I work in the restaurant on weeknights, I like weekends best, specifically Saturday mornings. Speaker 1: I see. We do already have a lot of staff available on Saturdays, but I do need an early morning shift lifeguard. How early could you work Saturday morning? Speaker 2: I can get there by 06:00 if need be. Speaker 1: You'll be happy to know. We open a little later than that, but I'll put you down for Saturday mornings here. Speaker 2: Oh, awesome. I can't wait to get started. How about you come in next Saturday, the twelfth? Speaker 1: That sounds good. Speaker 2: Great. Speaker 1: We can figure out other shifts for you to work when you come in then. One last thing, just out of curiosity, where did you hear about us? Speaker 2: I heard your ad on the radio while I was driving this morning. Speaker 1: You know, I think you're the first person who has responded to our radio ads. It's almost always people who have seen us in the newspaper. Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't have time to read through the newspaper every morning. I have plenty of time in the car to listen to radio ads. Speaker 1: That makes sense. Well, thanks for your time, and we'll look forward to seeing you on the twelfth. Speaker 0: That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 2 Speaker 0: Now turn to section two. Section two. You'll hear part of a free class about safety around campus. First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14. Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14. Speaker 3: Good evening. I'm Jeffrey Miller from the University of Nottingham Student Union and in this week's free class Carlos Garcia is going to tell us about safety around campus. Speaker 2: Over to you, Carlos. Speaker 3: Thank you Geoffrey and thank you all for your attendance today. Also, I'd like to thank the student union here at the university for organizing this lecture. Well, I've been serving and protecting the city of Nottingham for over twenty years now as a member of the police department. Does anyone know what type of crime is the most prevalent on campus? I heard someone say drugs and alcohol. There actually isn't too much of an issue. Violence? Nope. Actually, the biggest thing we worry about here is theft. The nature of crime on Nottingham's campus is quite different from that of the surrounding areas. Crime rates across the East Midlands are very difficult to control. We'd like to see the rates stay the same for this calendar year, but it has been increasing steadily over the past three years. On campus, however, I'm happy to say that the overall crime rate has fallen this year. You wouldn't think so if you've seen the extremely exaggerated stories in the media. The media has done nothing but cause more concern about crime in our area. Even the crime shows you see today are a little bit far fetched, but at least viewers know they're not real events. We'd really like to see more factual news articles out there so the public can have a rational sense of the safety level of our society. Speaker 0: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20. Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20. Speaker 2: Okay. Let's move on to what to do when you see a crime. Do not get involved if at all possible, and do not draw too much attention to yourself by running away in a conspicuous manner. Though most likely and hopefully you will not have to experience this situation, if you are being mugged, please do not try to resist. Instead, be compliant and seek help after the incident. Like I said, though, it is highly unlikely that you will find yourself amidst a crime, but it is important to be prepared should it ever happen. We find that educating students and staff on the correct precautions to take is the best way to increase your safety. Just remember to be smart when you're out late at night and avoid any area or person that looks suspicious. I know it sounds obvious, but I cannot stress this enough. It's also not a bad idea to have your mobile phone with you at all times, but be careful. If you're chatting on your smartphone on your way home, you're a prime target for thieves. I'd like to see a show of hands. How many people have left work or the library after 10PM to go home before? A lot of you. Right? If you do have to go home late at night, please don't walk home alone. More often than not, there's someone there that will be walking the same direction as you at some point. Walk home with a friend or coworker. Even if you must use your phone to call someone that's nearby to walk with you, it's always safer to walk home with someone. So when you're walking home, you may feel more comfortable with some sort of self defense, such as pepper spray. Now it's your call whether you want to carry something like this or not. However, I absolutely advise against carrying a knife or any other offensive weapon. All too often, they can be used against you if you're disarmed, putting yourself in more danger. For all those interested, the recreation center offers a free self defense class to all students every Thursday evening. While, obviously, an introductory self defense class may not equip you to fight off villains like a regular superhero, it does come in handy sometimes. After taking a self defense class, you'll surely be more aware of possible dangers and how to deal with them. So hopefully now you have a more complete understanding of the nature of crimes committed on your campus and how to avoid being a victim. I know most students at the University of Nottingham are not the criminal types, but remember that there is no barrier like a wall or something keeping non students out. There's no army force securing the borders, and I doubt anyone wants it that way. The campus is generally a safe place, but it's not immune to small crimes once in a while. Alright. That's all I have to say for today. Stay safe. Speaker 0: That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 3 Speaker 0: Now turn to section three. Section three. You will hear a student called Bobby talking to his tutor about the research project. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 23. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 23. Speaker 4: Hi, Bobby. Go ahead and sit down. Tell me about your research project. Speaker 3: Well, I decided to research football and keys for success on a football team. Speaker 4: That sounds great. What are the guidelines for the test? Did the teacher talk to you about it in class? Speaker 3: No, everything is on a handout that was passed out. It says that the first draft is due at the end of next week and the second and third are due later on in the month. I don't understand why we have to keep revising and fixing it. Is this assignment really that important? Speaker 4: Well, this project is a major requirement for passing eleventh grade English and will go on your permanent record. Speaker 3: Oh, really? Does that mean it will affect what English level I am placed in next year? Speaker 4: Well, not exactly. You need a good grade to move on, but it is your overall grade and teacher recommendation that determines what level of English you are placed in next year. Anyway, tell me about your topic choice. Do you play football? Speaker 3: Well, actually, it's because my father loves the sport. He watches it every weekend. Speaker 4: Cool. It's a good idea to report on something you're interested in. Speaker 0: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 24 to 30. Now listen carefully and answer questions 24 to 30. Speaker 4: I see you worked hard calling players and the head coach to talk. So let's see what information you got. Well, you have to listen carefully to the first call on the recording. Speaker 3: It's really hard to hear because the background noise is louder than the person's voice. Speaker 4: Yes. It is a bit tough to discern. I'm afraid the player's answer is too short as well. You will have to interview him again and try to get him to give a better answer. Speaker 3: Okay. I thought that might happen. I will call him again tomorrow. Speaker 4: Moving on, let's look back at this question. You asked, "Tell me about a time when you learned a major life lesson through playing football and explain how that has shaped the person and player you have become now and how you hope to pass on that lesson." It is a great idea for a question, but in an oral interview, it is far too complex. I would advise you to break it up into multiple parts to get a better response. Speaker 3: I guess you're right. I wouldn't want to have to provide an answer to a question like that. I will simplify it. I found that when I asked players this question, it took too much time because they were struggling to answer the question completely. In fact, this is the question Joe Billings was answering when the tape ran out. Speaker 4: He did tend to ramble on all the questions, didn't he? Speaker 3: He sure did. Speaker 4: I would recommend that when you go back and interview players again that you use a more sophisticated recording device. This recording is spotty, which indicates that the equipment wasn't working consistently. Speaker 3: Okay. I guess it probably wasn't the best idea to use the sound recorder on my phone. Hey, could you give me some feedback on the content of the report itself? Speaker 4: Sure. Let's start by focusing on your topic. While I like that you chose to cover football, it seems inexplicit. The keys for success of a player and team is quite an interesting topic. But what is your thesis? That is to say, what conclusions can you draw from your research? I would suggest coming up with a strong thesis statement and then shaping your report based on that. Speaker 3: Is it really too vague? I put a whole lot of facts into it. I list the top 10 goal scorers in football history and later on provide statistics for a few of the most famous coaches and their records as coaches. Speaker 4: I think that's great that you included these facts, but I think you focus too much on the facts and not enough on connecting these facts to make your point. Speaker 3: Ah, I see. Okay. So it looks like I have quite a bit of work to do before the deadline. Speaker 0: That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 4 Speaker 0: Now turn to section four. Section four. You will hear part of a lecture about how to give a quality speech. First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40. Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. Speaker 4: Good morning. Today, I am going to cover the daunting task of giving a quality speech, a thought that makes most of us cringe. In fact, ninety percent of all people feel nervous about public speaking, about ten percent of whom are described as genuinely terrified. Hopefully, when we are finished here today, you all will be in the ten percent of the population who do not feel nervous at all. Did you know that lecturers tend to get more nervous if the speech they are giving is an important one? It makes sense. Right? You probably wouldn't be nearly as nervous to address your residence hall about the proper use of the recycle and compost bins as you might be if you were asked to give the graduation speech to your entire 5,000 student class. So what is it that makes some people completely comfortable in front of crowds? Some people think that the ability to give a good speech is a gift that others are simply born with. This is almost never the case. Public speaking can be learned with practice. The first most important thing you can do to improve your confidence in delivering a speech is to prepare a quality speech. Honestly, while the content of your speech is relatively important, the audience will really only remember the last sentence you say. It is a good idea to structure the rest of your speech to lead up to this last point to really drive your message home. This is a good way to ensure that your speech is well organized. Once you are confident in the quality of the speech you have written, the rest is just about your stage presence. Let's go through some do's and don'ts of public speaking. First, you want to command the attention of the room. Do not, I repeat, do not proceed with your speech until the audience is paying attention. Even Martin Luther King Junior's "I have a dream" speech wouldn't have made any difference in the world without the undivided attention of his audience. To continue with the "I have a dream" example, one of the reasons that MLK was such an effective orator was his ability to speak with passion and engage with his audience. That sort of charisma does not come from reading straight from paper. Don't get me wrong. It is a good idea to write your main ideas down on a note card, sheet of paper, or something. But one factor that will consistently lead to a boring forgettable speech is writing down your entire speech. Do not write your full speech down. If you are constantly reading your paper, you are not making eye contact with your audience and thus failing to really express the feeling that goes with your ideas. I advise you write one or two ideas, so if you suddenly draw a blank, you have something to jog your memory. If you've written a good speech that you believe in, those ideas should be sufficient to keep you on track. Once you have those ideas written down, give your speech a few practice runs in front of the mirror, into your sound recorder on your phone, or with a friend before it comes time to address a crowd. That way, you can hear how the ideas come across. Make sure there are no abrupt transitions and find out whether you are talking too fast or too slow. Timing is important. Make sure you time yourself beforehand to see how long your speech is. That is pretty much it. With practice, you'll be able to deliver an expert speech that engages and even maybe inspires your audience. Just remember, speak with emotion. No one wants to listen to someone reading from a script. As I come to a close in my speech, I'll point out that I have employed all of these tips that I have covered. I practiced my speech ahead of time and timed it, and I can even show you my one small index card with just three simple bullets on it. It's as easy as that. Speaker 0: That is the end of section four. You now have half a minute to check your answers. That is the end of the listening test. In the IELTS test, you will now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. ==================== Chinese Translation ==================== 第一部分 Speaker 0：你将听到几段不同的录音，并需要根据听到的内容回答问题。你会有时间阅读说明和问题，并且有机会检查你的答案。所有录音只播放一次。考试分为四个部分。考试结束时，你将有十分钟时间将答案誊写到答题卡上。现在请翻到第一部分。第一部分。你将听到一段电话对话，对话双方是Wild Dunes Spa and Resort的雇主和一位申请人。首先，你有时间看一下第一到第五题。你会看到一个已经为你完成的示例。仅此一次，与此相关的对话将首先播放。 Speaker 1：你好。是John Murphy吗？ Speaker 2：嗨。是的。是我。 Speaker 1：嗨，John。我是Wild Dunes Spa and Resort的Ed Heisenberg，打电话来是关于你申请救生员职位的事。你现在方便聊几分钟吗？ Speaker 2：好的。当然可以。 Speaker 0：雇主说他打电话来是关于申请救生员职位的事。所以空格里已经填上了救生员。现在我们要开始了。你应该边听边回答问题，因为你不会再次听到录音。请仔细听并回答第一到第五题。 Speaker 1：你好。是John Murphy吗？ Speaker 2：嗨。是的。是我。 Speaker 1：嗨，John。我是Wild Dunes Spa and Resort的Ed Heisenberg，打电话来是关于你申请救生员职位的事。你现在方便聊几分钟吗？ Speaker 2：好的。当然可以。 Speaker 1：太好了。你能给我你的地址吗？ Speaker 2：当然。我的地址是45 Elsinore Court。 Speaker 1：抱歉。是Eleanor吗？你能拼写一下吗？ Speaker 2：当然。是Elsinore，E L S I N O R E。 Speaker 1：好的。谢谢。这个号码是以后联系你的号码吗？099885767？ Speaker 2：不。那是我的家庭电话。不过让我给你我的手机号码。077896245。打那个号码找我。 Speaker 1：好的。我记一下。你能告诉我你的空闲时间吗？ Speaker 2：当然。我通常下午或周末有空。我不希望被安排在平日晚上，因为我兼职做服务员。 Speaker 1：那应该没问题，因为我们营业时间本来就不晚。你还有其他工作经验吗？ Speaker 2：是的。我在其他地方工作过。上个赛季我是里士满高中的棒球教练。 Speaker 1：我明白了。你还有其他希望我们记录在申请上的经验吗？ Speaker 2：是的。去年我在海滩做过救援潜水员。 Speaker 1：救援潜水员？听起来很厉害。 Speaker 2：嗯，其实就像救生员一样，只不过是在海里而不是泳池。所以有点像在世界上最大的泳池当救生员。 Speaker 1：我明白了。 Speaker 0：在听到对话的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第六到第十题。现在请听并回答第六到第十题。 Speaker 1：那么你能告诉我你有哪些相关技能吗？根据你的经验，我猜应该很多。 Speaker 2：我有心肺复苏认证和两年的潜水经验。 Speaker 1：太好了。听起来你非常适合这个职位。你的心肺复苏认证什么时候到期？ Speaker 2：我想是十一月，不过让我快速查一下我的心肺复苏卡。实际上，是十月到期。 Speaker 1：好的。所以无论如何，你整个夏天都有认证。你理想的上班时间是什么时候？ Speaker 2：因为我平日晚上在餐厅工作，我最喜欢周末，特别是周六早上。 Speaker 1：我明白了。我们周六已经有很多员工有空了，但我确实需要一个早班救生员。你周六最早能几点上班？ Speaker 2：如果需要的话，我可以在早上六点前到。 Speaker 1：你会很高兴知道我们开门时间比那稍晚一些，但我把你记在周六早上。 Speaker 2：哦，太棒了。我等不及要开始了。我下周六，十二号来上班怎么样？ Speaker 1：听起来不错。 Speaker 2：太好了。 Speaker 1：到时候我们再安排你的其他班次。最后一件事，只是好奇，你是从哪里听说我们的？ Speaker 2：我今天早上开车时在收音机上听到了你们的广告。 Speaker 1：你知道吗，我想你是第一个回应我们电台广告的人。几乎总是那些在报纸上看到我们的人。 Speaker 2：是啊。我没有时间每天早上看报纸。我在车上有大把时间听电台广告。 Speaker 1：有道理。好的，谢谢你的时间，我们期待十二号见到你。 Speaker 0：第一部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查答案。 第二部分 Speaker 0：现在请翻到第二部分。第二部分。你将听到一个关于校园安全的免费课程的一部分。首先，你有时间看一下第11到第14题。现在请仔细听并回答第11到第14题。 Speaker 3：晚上好。我是诺丁汉大学学生会的Jeffrey Miller，在本周的免费课程中，Carlos Garcia将为我们讲解校园安全。 Speaker 2：交给你了，Carlos。 Speaker 3：谢谢Geoffrey，也感谢大家今天的出席。同时，我要感谢大学的学生会组织这次讲座。嗯，我作为警察局的成员，已经为诺丁汉市服务保护了二十多年。有人知道校园里最常见的犯罪类型是什么吗？我听到有人说毒品和酒精。其实这不算大问题。暴力？不是。实际上，我们最担心的是盗窃。诺丁汉校园的犯罪性质与周边地区有很大不同。东米德兰兹地区的犯罪率很难控制。我们希望今年的犯罪率能保持不变，但过去三年一直在稳步上升。然而，在校园里，我很高兴地说，今年的总体犯罪率下降了。如果你看到媒体上那些极度夸张的报道，你不会这么想。媒体只会引起对我们地区犯罪的更多担忧。即使是今天你看到的犯罪节目也有点牵强，但至少观众知道那不是真实事件。我们真的很希望看到更多事实性的新闻文章，这样公众才能对社会安全水平有一个理性的认识。 Speaker 0：在听到演讲的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第15到第20题。现在请听并回答第15到第20题。 Speaker 2：好的。我们继续讲看到犯罪时该怎么做。如果可能的话，不要介入，也不要通过显眼的方式逃跑来引起过多注意。虽然很可能并且希望你不会经历这种情况，但如果你被抢劫，请不要试图反抗。相反，要顺从，并在事件发生后寻求帮助。就像我说的，虽然你遇到犯罪的可能性极低，但做好准备以防万一很重要。我们发现，教育学生和员工采取正确的预防措施是提高安全的最佳方式。只要记住，深夜外出时要保持警惕，避开任何看起来可疑的区域或人。我知道这听起来很明显，但我怎么强调都不为过。随时随身携带手机也是个好主意，但要小心。如果你在回家的路上用智能手机聊天，你就是小偷的主要目标。我想请大家举手看看。有多少人曾经在晚上10点后离开工作地点或图书馆回家？很多人，对吧？如果你确实需要在深夜回家，请不要独自步行回家。很多时候，总会有人和你同路。和朋友或同事一起走回家。即使你必须用手机打电话给附近的人陪你一起走，和别人一起走回家总是更安全。所以当你步行回家时，携带某种自卫工具，比如胡椒喷雾，可能会让你感觉更安心。是否携带这种东西由你自己决定。然而，我绝对建议不要携带刀具或任何其他攻击性武器。很多时候，如果你被夺走武器，它们可能被用来对付你，使你陷入更大的危险。对于所有感兴趣的人，娱乐中心每周四晚上为所有学生提供免费的自卫课程。虽然，显然，入门级的自卫课程可能无法让你像超级英雄一样击退坏人，但有时它确实能派上用场。上完自卫课后，你肯定会更了解可能的危险以及如何应对。所以希望现在你对校园内犯罪的性质以及如何避免成为受害者有了更全面的了解。我知道诺丁汉大学的大多数学生都不是犯罪类型，但请记住，没有像墙一样的屏障来阻止非学生进入。没有军队力量守卫边界，我想也没有人希望那样。校园总体上是一个安全的地方，但它并不能完全避免偶尔的小犯罪。好了。这就是我今天要说的全部内容。注意安全。 Speaker 0：第二部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查答案。 第三部分 Speaker 0：现在请翻到第三部分。第三部分。你将听到一个名叫Bobby的学生与他的导师谈论研究项目。首先，你有时间看一下第21到第23题。现在请仔细听并回答第21到第23题。 Speaker 4：嗨，Bobby。请坐。跟我说说你的研究项目。 Speaker 3：嗯，我决定研究足球以及足球队成功的关键。 Speaker 4：听起来不错。测试的指导方针是什么？老师在课堂上跟你说了吗？ Speaker 3：没有，所有内容都在发下来的讲义上。上面说初稿下周截止，第二稿和第三稿这个月晚些时候截止。我不明白为什么我们要不断修改和修正。这个作业真的那么重要吗？ Speaker 4：嗯，这个项目是通过十一年级英语的主要要求，并且会记入你的永久档案。 Speaker 3：哦，真的吗？那意味着它会影响我明年被分到哪个英语级别吗？ Speaker 4：嗯，不完全是。你需要一个好成绩才能继续，但决定你明年英语级别的是你的总成绩和老师的推荐。不管怎样，跟我说说你的选题。你踢足球吗？ Speaker 3：嗯，实际上，是因为我父亲喜欢这项运动。他每个周末都看。 Speaker 4：酷。报道你感兴趣的东西是个好主意。 Speaker 0：在听到谈话的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第24到第30题。现在请仔细听并回答第24到第30题。 Speaker 4：我看到你努力打电话给球员和主教练谈话。让我们看看你得到了什么信息。嗯，你得仔细听录音里的第一个电话。 Speaker 3：很难听清，因为背景噪音比人的声音还大。 Speaker 4：是的。确实有点难以分辨。而且恐怕球员的回答也太简短了。你得再采访他一次，试着让他给出更好的回答。 Speaker 3：好的。我猜到了可能会这样。我明天再给他打电话。 Speaker 4：继续，让我们回顾一下这个问题。你问的是，“请讲述一次你通过踢足球学到重要人生教训的经历，并解释这如何塑造了现在的你和球员，以及你希望如何传递这个教训。”这个问题本身是个好主意，但在口头采访中，它太复杂了。我建议你把它分成几个部分，以获得更好的回答。 Speaker 3：我想你是对的。我也不想回答这样的问题。我会简化它。我发现当我问球员这个问题时，花了太多时间，因为他们很难完整地回答。事实上，Joe Billings在回答这个问题时磁带用完了。 Speaker 4：他确实对所有问题都容易长篇大论，不是吗？ Speaker 3：他确实如此。 Speaker 4：我建议你回去再次采访球员时，使用更精密的录音设备。这个录音断断续续，说明设备运行不稳定。 Speaker 3：好的。我想用手机录音可能不是最好的主意。嘿，你能给我一些关于报告内容本身的反馈吗？ Speaker 4：当然。让我们先关注你的主题。虽然我喜欢你选择报道足球，但它似乎不够明确。球员和团队成功的关键是一个相当有趣的话题。但你的论点是什么？也就是说，你能从研究中得出什么结论？我建议你提出一个强有力的论点陈述，然后据此构建你的报告。 Speaker 3：真的那么模糊吗？我放了很多事实进去。我列出了足球历史上进球最多的前十名球员，后来还提供了一些最著名教练的数据和他们的执教记录。 Speaker 4：你包含这些事实很好，但我认为你过于关注事实，而没有足够地将这些事实联系起来来支持你的观点。 Speaker 3：啊，我明白了。好的。看来我在截止日期前还有很多工作要做。 Speaker 0：第三部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查答案。 第四部分 Speaker 0：现在请翻到第四部分。第四部分。你将听到一个关于如何进行高质量演讲的讲座的一部分。首先，你有时间看一下第31到第40题。现在请仔细听并回答第31到第40题。 Speaker 4：早上好。今天，我将讲解进行高质量演讲这一艰巨任务，这个想法让大多数人感到畏缩。事实上，百分之九十的人对公开演讲感到紧张，其中大约百分之十被描述为真正感到恐惧。希望今天结束时，你们都能成为那百分之十完全不紧张的人。你知道吗，演讲者如果要发表重要的演讲，往往会更紧张？这有道理，对吧？你向宿舍楼讲解回收和堆肥箱的正确使用方法时，可能不会像被要求向整个5000名学生班级发表毕业演讲时那么紧张。那么，是什么让一些人在人群面前完全自在呢？有些人认为，发表好演讲的能力是别人与生俱来的天赋。但这几乎从来不是事实。公开演讲可以通过练习来学习。要提高演讲时的自信，你能做的最重要的事情就是准备一个高质量的演讲。老实说，虽然演讲的内容相对重要，但观众真正只会记住你说的最后一句话。将演讲的其余部分结构设计成引向这最后一点，以真正传达你的信息，是个好主意。这是确保演讲组织良好的好方法。一旦你对自己写的演讲质量有信心，剩下的就只是你的舞台表现。让我们来看看公开演讲的一些注意事项。首先，你要掌控整个房间的注意力。我重复一遍，在观众集中注意力之前，不要开始你的演讲。即使是马丁·路德·金的“我有一个梦想”演讲，如果没有观众的完全关注，也不会对世界产生任何影响。继续以“我有一个梦想”为例，MLK之所以是一位如此有效的演说家，原因之一是他能够充满激情地演讲并与观众互动。那种魅力不是来自直接读稿。别误会我的意思。把你的主要想法写在索引卡、纸或类似的东西上是个好主意。但一个会导致演讲枯燥乏味、令人遗忘的因素是写下你的整个演讲。不要写下你的完整演讲稿。如果你一直在读稿子，你就没有与观众进行眼神交流，从而无法真正表达伴随你想法而来的情感。我建议你写下一两个想法，这样如果你突然脑子一片空白，你就有东西可以唤起记忆。如果你写了一个你相信的好演讲，这些想法应该足以让你保持在正轨上。一旦你写下了这些想法，在面向观众之前，在镜子前、对着手机录音机或与朋友一起练习几次。这样，你可以听到这些想法传达得如何。确保没有突兀的过渡，并找出你说话是太快还是太慢。时机很重要。确保你事先计时，看看你的演讲有多长。基本上就是这样。通过练习，你将能够发表一场专业的演讲，吸引甚至可能激励你的观众。记住，带着情感说话。没有人想听别人读稿子。在我结束演讲时，我要指出，我运用了今天讲到的所有技巧。我提前练习了演讲并计时，我甚至可以给你看我的一张小小的索引卡，上面只有三个简单的要点。就这么简单。 Speaker 0：第四部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查答案。听力考试结束。在雅思考试中，你现在将有十分钟时间将答案誊写到答题卡上。
