Part Three. You will hear two geography students discussing their field trip with their tutor.

第三部分。你將聽到兩名地理系學生和指導老師討論他們的實地考察。

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

首先，你有一些時間閱讀第二十一至第二十五題。

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

現在請仔細聽，並回答第二十一至第二十五題。

So, how was the trip to Wenbury?

那麼，去Wenbury的考察怎麼樣？

Amazing! Though it was freezing on the cliffs!

超棒的！只是懸崖上冷得要命！

We measured how far the cliff edge has moved.

我們測量了崖邊往後退了多遠。

It's losing about two metres every year.

每年大約少掉兩公尺。

Two metres? That's faster than I thought.

兩公尺？比我想的還快。

And the locals say the storms are getting worse, too.

當地人還說，暴風雨也越來越嚴重了。

One café owner told us she'd lost half her garden.

一位咖啡廳老闆跟我們說，她的花園已經沒了一半。

She's lived there for forty years. It was really upsetting.

她在那裡住了四十年。聽了真的很難過。

Stories like that will make your report much stronger.

這樣的故事會讓你們的報告更有說服力。

We recorded six interviews altogether.

我們總共錄了六段訪談。

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

在聽對話的其餘部分之前，你有一些時間閱讀第二十六至第三十題。

Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty.

現在請聽，並回答第二十六至第三十題。

Now, what did you conclude about protecting the coast?

那麼，關於保護海岸，你們得出什麼結論？

I think the council should build more sea walls.

我覺得地方政府應該多蓋一些海堤。

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that.

嗯，我不太確定耶。

Sea walls protect one village, but the erosion just moves further along the coast.

海堤可以保護一個村子，但侵蝕只會移到海岸更遠的地方。

But you can't just let people's homes fall into the sea!

可是總不能眼睜睜看著別人的房子掉進海裡吧！

You both make good points. That's exactly the debate.

你們兩個說得都有道理。這正是爭論的重點。

In your report, present both options fairly,

在報告裡，要公平地呈現兩種方案，

and include the cost of each one.

並寫出每種方案的成本。

Should we use the old photos from the town archive?

我們要不要用鎮上檔案室的老照片？

Absolutely! Comparing them with today's coastline will be really powerful.

當然！和現在的海岸線一比，效果會非常有力。

And the word limit is three thousand, isn't it?

字數上限是三千字，對吧？

That's right. And it's due on the twentieth of May.

沒錯。截止日期是5月20日。

Better start writing, then, Ben!

那你最好趕快開始寫囉，Ben！

Ha! Fair enough.

哈！說得也是。

That is the end of Part Three.

第三部分到此結束。
