IELTS Listening Part 3: A Presentation on Urban Beekeeping

Part Three. You will hear two students talking to their tutor about a presentation on urban beekeeping.

Bagian tiga. Anda akan mendengar dua mahasiswa berbicara dengan dosen pembimbing tentang presentasi mengenai beternak lebah di kota.

First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five.

Pertama, Anda punya sedikit waktu untuk membaca soal nomor dua puluh satu sampai dua puluh lima.

Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five.

Sekarang dengarkan baik-baik dan jawab soal nomor dua puluh satu sampai dua puluh lima.

Come in, both of you. So, how's the bee project going?

Masuk, kalian berdua. Jadi, bagaimana perkembangan proyek lebahnya?

Really well, actually! We've found some surprising data.

Lancar sekali, Pak! Kami menemukan data yang mengejutkan.

City bees often produce more honey than countryside bees.

Lebah kota sering menghasilkan lebih banyak madu daripada lebah desa.

Really? I'd have expected the opposite.

Oh ya? Saya kira justru sebaliknya.

So did we. But city gardens and parks have a much wider variety of flowers.

Kami juga. Tapi taman dan kebun di kota punya jenis bunga yang jauh lebih beragam.

The problem is, rooftop hives are becoming too popular.

Masalahnya, sarang lebah di atap rumah jadi terlalu populer.

In some areas, honeybees are competing with wild bees for food.

Di beberapa daerah, lebah madu bersaing dengan lebah liar untuk mendapatkan makanan.

Interesting. So is urban beekeeping actually harmful?

Menarik. Jadi beternak lebah di kota sebenarnya merugikan?

Well... it really depends on how many hives there are.

Hmm... itu sangat tergantung pada berapa banyak sarangnya.

And did you speak to anyone locally?

Apakah kalian sempat bicara dengan warga setempat?

Yes, we surveyed about two hundred residents.

Ya, kami mensurvei sekitar dua ratus warga.

Around sixty percent supported hives in their neighbourhood.

Sekitar enam puluh persen mendukung adanya sarang lebah di lingkungan mereka.

And the rest?

Lalu sisanya?

Mostly worried about getting stung, to be honest!

Jujur saja, kebanyakan takut tersengat!

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty.

Sebelum mendengar sisa percakapan, Anda punya sedikit waktu untuk membaca soal nomor dua puluh enam sampai tiga puluh.

Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty.

Sekarang dengarkan dan jawab soal nomor dua puluh enam sampai tiga puluh.

Now, let's talk about the structure of your presentation.

Sekarang, mari kita bahas struktur presentasi kalian.

I think we should start with the history of beekeeping.

Menurut saya, kita mulai dengan sejarah beternak lebah.

Oh, come on, Oliver. History is a bit boring as an opening!

Ayolah, Oliver. Membuka dengan sejarah itu agak membosankan!

Why not start with the honey statistic? It's really striking!

Kenapa tidak mulai dengan statistik madu? Itu sangat mencolok!

Actually, you're both partly right.

Sebenarnya, kalian berdua sama-sama ada benarnya.

Open with a question to the audience, then give them the statistic.

Buka dengan pertanyaan kepada audiens, lalu sampaikan statistiknya.

That's a good compromise. I can keep the history brief.

Itu jalan tengah yang bagus. Bagian sejarahnya bisa saya buat singkat.

Just make sure you finish within fifteen minutes.

Pastikan saja kalian selesai dalam lima belas menit.

And a photo of a rooftop hive would really help.

Dan foto sarang lebah di atap akan sangat membantu.

Oh, we've got a great one from the library roof!

Oh, kami punya foto bagus dari atap perpustakaan!

Perfect. I'll see you both on the third of March.

Sempurna. Sampai jumpa tanggal 3 Maret.

That is the end of Part Three.

Sekian Bagian Tiga.
