Context情景


1 绘制一个条形图,列出你在何种场景下听英语感到吃力。可以参照以下示例。   

      

on the    telephone                                                                                   

in meetings                                                              

at business dinne                                  

in presentation                                                                    

       

    never          sometime          often                  all the time


2 商务电话沟通中的听力与商务会议和商务宴请等场景中的听力有什么不同?列出这些不同点


3 你在用英语进行商务电话沟通时遇到了哪些听力困难?勾选下列选项。

 Native speakers talk too quickly.       

I don't understand every word.  


 I don't know what to do when                       

   there's a silence.


 I don't know if what the speaker

   says is what he / she really means.  


 Other (please specify)  _________________


Presentation 语言呈现


1 Teletrain 是一家为众多公司提供企业训练的公司。PeterKing 是课程协调员,他正在与Safelnsure 的人事主管 Helen Sykes 通电话,讨论下一堂训练课程。请听 Peter 和Helen 的部分对话,判断说法是否正确。


1 Peter wants to change the course programme.                       [True]    [False]

2 The course is for sales people at Safelnsure.                         [True]    [False]

3 Peter has the authority to make the changes.                         [True]    [False]

语音变化

2 再听一遍Peter和Helen电话沟通的几个句子,记下每个句子中的单词数。缩写形式(如doesn’t)算作两个单词(does not)。


  1______________________________________

  2____________________________________

  3_____________________________________

  4__________________________________

  5__________________________________

    

小贴士

由于以英语为母语的人通常把有些音或单词连起来读,或者直接略过,因此很难将每个音或单词都听清。所以人们会觉得以英语为母语的人所英语很“快”。

 


听取“弦外之音”

3 再听一遍Peter和Helen的电话对话,回答下列问题。


   1 What does Helen want to do?

   2 Does Peter agree?

   3 Is Peter happy about it?

              

       

              小贴士

   

尝试判断言外之意:在听他们的对话时,也要判断他们的弦外之音,同时注意他们的表达方式       


连续报道

4 Peter知道Helen无法在他们通话时看到他,但他想要确认与Brady太太商谈时所做的笔记。为了让Helen了解这些,他该说什么?

       

小贴士

   

为避免通话中的沉默,你应该告知通话对象你在干什么。 

       

  

  

Practice演练


1 查看卡片,将卡片上的表达与英文母语者的发音对应起来。通常不止一种组合。

  示例

2 听英语广播节目,如新闻。注意哪些单词或发音连续,或听起来视乎消失了。在下框中写出一些例子。

       

 

           What I hear

 
 

      What is really said

 


 

3 听以下三人的对话,尝试描绘出每个说话者形象。你能听懂“弦外之音”吗?用表格里的单词和表达补全下列图表。

           

 

 Speaker’s body

 

    language

 
 

 Speaker’s feelings

 
 

  What the speaker

 

     doesn’t say

 
 
  • frowning

 
  • smiling

 
  • neutral

 
 
  • doesn’t want to make a decision

 
  • angry/ frustrated

 
  • wants to please/

            impress
 
 
  • We can definitely

           manage that.
 
  • Yes, I’ll buy.

 
  • You should’ve seen it coming.

 

           

   

4.你在电话里跟别人说话时,该说什么让对方明白你这边现在所发生的事?将左边的场景和右边的句子对应起来。

1.      you need to check the dates

3.      you computer is being slow

4.      you are waiting for your colleague

5.      you want something to make notes

b  She’s just coming now

1.You want to check some details which you have in an e-mail.

2.You need to write down what the person is telling you so that you can remember for future reference.

3.You can’t remember your colleague’s phone number, but you have it on a database.

5.You’ve asked your secretaryto find a letter your sent.

6.You can’t open the attachment because your antivirus software is scanning it.

Consolidation  巩固练习


1.当你在电话沟通中说英语和听英语时,注意语音变化或连续给理解造成困难的词汇。使者记住这些困难点,以便下次能轻易地说出来或听出来。你可以将之记录在76页的框架里。

2.在接下来的一些电话沟通中,想象对方与你通话时的情况。你能描绘出他们与你对话时在做什么吗?他们没有直说的真正意图是什么?你可以将之记录在76页的框架里。

3.a 在接下来的电话沟通中,注意自己在说话的同时在做什么,如;寻找笔或打开电子邮件。利用第76页的框架,记录一些有用的表达,可以用这些表达来向与你通话的人结识你正在做什么。

  b 多练习说那些你所记录下的表述,这样听起来才会自然流畅。思考任何可能变音或连读的读音。你可以将其记录下来。
