Excuse me, would you mind if I ask you some questions, we are doing a survey on transport.
Yes, that's ok.
First of all, can I take your name?
Yes, it is Sadie Jones.
Thanks very much, and could I have your date
toof
birth, just the year will do actually,it'sis
that all right?将句子中的 "Is that all right?" 写成 "It's that all right?" 会造成语法上的不自然和不准确。这是因为 "It's" 是缩写形式,表示 "It is",用来指代先前提到的事物或情况。在这个句子中,"It's" 后面跟的是 "that all right?",这样的用法在英语中不太符合语法规范。
正确的表达应该是 "Is that all right?",表示询问对方是否同意提供生日信息。这种表达方式更为自然、准确,符合英语语法。
Yes, that's fine. It's 1991.
So, next your post code please.
It's DW307YZ.
Great thanks. Is that in wells?
No, it's actually in harborne, Wells
isisn't
far from there, though.I really like that area, my grandmother
livelived
there when I was a kid.Yes, It is nice.
Right, so now I want to ask you some questions about how you
traveledtravelled
here today, did you use public transport?Yes, I came by bus.
OK, and that was today, it's the 24th of April, isn't it?
当题目问到日期的时候,使用 "日期th" + "年份"
Isn't it the 25? uh, no, actually you are right.
And what was the reason for your trip today? I can see
youyou've
got some shopping with you.Yes, I did some shopping, but the main reason I came here was to go to the dentist.
That is no much fun, hope it
wasn'twas
nothing serious.No it was just a check up, it's fine.
Good, did you normally
travel
by busininto
the city center?Yes, I stopped driving
itin
agingyearsago, because parking was sodiffercultdifficult
to find, and it costs so much.I see.
The bus is much more convenient too, it only takes about 30 minutes.
That's good, so where did you start your journey?
At the bus stop on claxby street.
It
thethat
claxby?That's right.
And how satisfied
woundwith
the service on you , do you have any complaints?Oh, as I
saysaied
, it is veryconvientconvenient
and quick when it is on time. but this morning itiswas
late, only about 10 minutes, but still.Yes, I understand that is
annoying
, and what about thetimetable
, Do you have anycommentcomments
about that?Mmm, I
suppostsuppose
I mainly use the bus during the day. but anytime I have beenin
town in the evening. for dinner or at the cinema, Ihave/I've
noticed youit will wastehave to wait a
long timeto wait thefor a
bus.it will be too many.there aren't that many.
"I've" 的读法为 /aɪv/,类似于英文单词 "I've"。要区分是否有 "have" 这个部分,可以注意以下几点:
语境:观察句子的语境可以帮助确定是否应该有 "have"。例如,在 "I've finished my homework." 这个句子中,"I've" 是 "I have" 的缩写,因为它与 "finished" 搭配使用时表示已经完成的动作
听音标志:在口语中,有时候会因为语速快或语音模糊而听不清 "have" 这个部分。在这种情况下,可以通过其他词语或语境来推测应该有 "have"。
重点听音标:当你遇到 "I've" 这个词时,特别留意是否有清晰的 "v" 音,因为 "I've" 中的 "v" 音和 "have" 的 "v" 音是相同的,这可以帮助你确认是否有 "have"。
总的来说,通过综合语境、听音标志和注意听清 "v" 音可以帮助你区分是否有 "have" 这个部分。
OK, thanks, so now, i

followfloor
, and it doesn't have any storage, sowewe'd/we would
have tolineleave it
ina holethe hall
outside the flat.在这个句子中,"we'd" 的读音通常为 /wiːd/,即 "we" 的音标 /wiː/ 和 "would" 的音标 /d/ 连在一起。因此,"we'd" 读起来类似于 "weed",但是没有 "w" 的音。

Good evening everyone.
Let me star by welcoming you
all
to this talk and thanking you for taking the time to consider joining ACEvolunturevoluntary
organization.ACE
officeoffer
support to people and services in the local area, andwhenwe're
now looking for morevoluntervolunteers
to help us to do this.这句话比较难,重点关注。
By the way, I hope
you willyou're all
conferteablecomfortable
- we haveboughtbrought in
extraseatseats so that no one has to stand
, butthisit
doen'tdoesn't
mean that the peopleat the
back of the room mayfeel squetebe a bit squashed
.例句:I feel so squashed in this crowded bus.(我在这辆拥挤的公交车上感到很不舒服。)
We lonelyWe'll only/we will only
be here for about half a hour, sohopefulyhopefully
, that's ok.听到 "We'll only" 被误听成 "We lonely" 的情况可能是因为发音相似或者语速较快导致的听觉误解。要区分这两种说法,可以注意以下几点:
- 重点词的强调: "We'll only be here" 中的重点词是 "only",表示只会在这里待一小段时间。如果是 "We lonely be here",这个句子的意思就变得不合逻辑了,因为 "lonely" 表示孤独而不是时间短暂。
- 语境: 确定整个句子的语境有助于理解。如果谈话内容是关于待在某处的时间,那么更有可能是 "We'll only be here"。
- 听力训练: 练习听力可以帮助提高对于口语连读的理解和区分能力。可以通过听音频、对话或者参加语言课程来提升这方面的技能。
总体来说,通过注意重点词、语境和加强听力训练,可以更准确地区分口语连读中类似的发音。
One of the first question we're often
askasked
is how old you need to beato
volunteer.Will, you can be as young as 16 or you can be
1660
or over,it'sit
alldependdepends on
whattype of
voluntary work you want to do.Other
considerationconsiderations
, such asrelabelitareliability
, arecrutiecrucial
in voluntary work and age isn't relate tothisthese
, in ourexpersinceexperience
.为什么这里用these而不是this?
因为这里的these是指代前面的such as reliability以及type of voluntary等方面的,因此是复数形式,使用these表示这些。
And otherAnother
question we getupasked
relatedrelates
to training.Well,
thatsthere's
plante atplenty of
that andisit's
all face-to-face.What's more, training doesn't end when you start working for us, it take place before
juduring
and afterperiodperiods
of work.during在英式英语的发音中音标为英/ˈdjʊərɪŋ/,和美音区别很大
Often
it's oneit's run
by otherexperience volunteerexperienced volunteers
as managers tend to prefer toget on
anotherwith other
things.通常情况下,培训是由其他有经验的志愿者进行的,因为管理人员往往有其他事情要做。
Now I
willwould
ask you to consider a coupleof
importantissueissues
before you decide to applytofor
voluntary work.We don't worry about why you want to be a volunteer, people have many different reasons
therethat
range from getting work experience to just doing somethingthey awaythey've always
wanted to do.they've always wanted to do为现在完成时
使用现在完成时可以强调一个动作或状态从过去一直延续到现在,并且可能会继续下去。在这句话中,"they have always wanted to do"表达的是一个过去一直延续到现在的愿望或动作,强调了这个愿望或动作的持续性和连续性。
But it's
curitalcritical
that you have enough hours inathe
day for whatever role we agree issuitful tosuitable for
you. if being a volunteertobecomebecomes
stressfulthat is better not to bethen it's best not to do
it at all.role在这里是名词,指的是某个具体的职责或者角色
we agree在这里是我们认为的意思
You may think that your income is important but we don't
askedask
about that.It's up to you to decide if you can work without
anyearning
money.What we value is
deadecationdedication

做好区分

an imaginative听成了any magicnative
"we'd" 是 "we had" 或 "we would" 的缩写形式,具体取决于上下文。这种缩写常见于口语或非正式的书面语境中。下面是两种可能的全称:
- "We had" 的全称是 "we had",表示过去发生的动作或情况。
- 例如:We'd already finished dinner when you arrived.(我们吃完晚饭了,当你到达时。)
- "We would" 的全称是 "we would",表示条件、假设或意愿。
- 例如:We'd go hiking if the weather were better.(如果天气好一点,我们会去远足的。)
需要根据句子的上下文来确定 "we'd" 具体指代的是 "we had" 还是 "we would"。
需要注意的是delighted在这里是形容词形式,并不是过去式。

# 剑雅18 T1S3
心得:这篇的难度较大,即使逐句听写后听起来做题仍然难度较大,最大的问题是录音中的部分词汇(虽然看了都会)但听音无法识别,造成文章意思理解困难。且题目的理解难度也不小,需要结合听音内容做大量综合性思考,很容易选错。
Tips: 对话dialogue题型中一定要分辨角色信息,尤其是角色名字并不大众,如这道题女的叫Chantal,男的叫Hugo,不清楚名字指的是录音中的哪个角色一些题目没法做,比如问到其中一个人的观点的时候。
Hi Chantal, what

you think of the talk, then?then在这里是口语化用法,用来表示“那么,你怎么看?;那你觉得呢?”
提出建议或提议:
- "Why don't we go for a walk in the park, then?"
- "How about we meet for coffee tomorrow, then?"
Hi Hugo, I
