Cambridge B2 First Speaking Part 3: How Can a Small Town Attract More Tourists?

Now, I'd like you to talk together for about two minutes.

現在，請你們一起討論大約兩分鐘。

Imagine a small town wants to attract more tourists.

假設有個小鎮想吸引更多遊客。

Here are some ideas the town council is considering.

這是鎮公所正在考慮的一些想法。

Talk to each other about how effective each idea might be.

請討論每個想法可能有多大效果。

Shall we start with the music festival?

我們先從音樂節開始吧？

Sure! A festival would really put the town on the map.

好啊！辦個音樂節一定能讓小鎮出名。

Hmm, true, but it only lasts a weekend, doesn't it?

嗯，沒錯，但它只辦一個週末，不是嗎？

Well, if it's successful, people might come back every year.

嗯，如果辦得成功，大家可能每年都會再來。

Fair enough. Although the neighbours wouldn't be thrilled!

也有道理。不過鄰居們可不會太開心！

What about improving public transport?

那改善大眾運輸呢？

Honestly, I think that's the most important one.

老實說，我覺得這是最重要的。

If there's no train, most tourists simply won't bother.

如果沒有火車，大部分遊客根本懶得來。

Oh, I take your point, but what about the cost?

喔，我懂你的意思，但費用怎麼辦？

Ooh, what about social media? That's practically free!

喔，那社群媒體呢？幾乎不用錢！

Now that's clever! People choose holidays from videos now.

這個聰明！現在大家都是看影片挑旅遊地點的。

My cousin went to Norway just because of one video!

我表姊就因為一支影片去了挪威！

Seriously? Just one video?

真的假的？就一支影片？

Yes! She'd never even heard of the place before.

對啊！她之前連那個地方都沒聽過。

On the other hand, there's no point attracting tourists

另一方面，吸引遊客也沒用，

if there's nowhere for them to stay.

如果他們沒地方住的話。

Good point. But a huge hotel might spoil the town.

說得好。但一間大飯店可能會破壞小鎮的風貌。

Maybe a local food market would be better, then.

那也許辦個在地美食市集會更好。

Thank you. Now you have about a minute to decide

謝謝。現在你們有大約一分鐘來決定

which idea would be the most effective.

哪個想法最有效。

Okay, so which one shall we go for?

好，那我們選哪一個？

I'd go for social media. It's cheap and it works fast.

我選社群媒體。便宜，見效又快。

Hmm, I'd have said the festival, to be honest.

嗯，老實說，我本來想選音樂節。

But we could advertise the festival online!

可是我們可以在網路上宣傳音樂節啊！

Oh, that's brilliant! Two ideas in one.

喔，太棒了！一舉兩得。

Great, so we both agree.

太好了，那我們意見一致。

Thank you. That's the end of the test.

謝謝。考試到此結束。
