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。

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

進來吧，你們兩個。蜜蜂的專題進行得怎麼樣？

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

其實很順利！我們找到了一些令人意外的數據。

City bees often produce more honey than countryside bees.

城市裡的蜜蜂產的蜜，往往比鄉下的蜜蜂多。

Really? I'd have expected the opposite.

真的嗎？我還以為剛好相反。

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

我們也是。但城市的花園和公園裡，花的種類多得多。

The problem is, rooftop hives are becoming too popular.

問題是，屋頂蜂箱變得太熱門了。

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

在某些地區，蜜蜂正在和野生蜂搶食物。

Interesting. So is urban beekeeping actually harmful?

很有意思。那城市養蜂其實是有害的嗎？

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

嗯……這要看蜂箱的數量而定。

And did you speak to anyone locally?

你們有訪問當地居民嗎？

Yes, we surveyed about two hundred residents.

有，我們調查了大約兩百位居民。

Around sixty percent supported hives in their neighbourhood.

大約百分之六十的人支持在社區裡放蜂箱。

And the rest?

那其他人呢？

Mostly worried about getting stung, to be honest!

老實說，大多是怕被叮！

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

現在，我們來談談你們簡報的架構。

I think we should start with the history of beekeeping.

我覺得我們應該從養蜂的歷史開始講。

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

拜託，Oliver，用歷史開場有點無聊啦！

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

為什麼不用蜂蜜的數據開場？那個超吸睛的！

Actually, you're both partly right.

其實，你們兩個都對了一部分。

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

先向聽眾提一個問題，再拿出這個數據。

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

這是個不錯的折衷方案。歷史的部分我可以講短一點。

Just make sure you finish within fifteen minutes.

只要確定在十五分鐘內講完就好。

And a photo of a rooftop hive would really help.

再放一張屋頂蜂箱的照片會很有幫助。

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

喔，我們有一張在圖書館屋頂拍的，超棒的！

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

很好。我們3月3日見。

That is the end of Part Three.

第三部分到此結束。
