IELTS Listening Part 3: Planning a Seminar on Renewable Energy

Part Three. You will hear two students planning a seminar on renewable energy with their tutor.

第三部分。你将听到两名学生和导师一起策划一场关于可再生能源的研讨会。

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

首先，你有一些时间阅读第21到26题。

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

现在请仔细听，并回答第21到26题。

Hello, you two! Have you chosen a focus for your seminar yet?

你们好！研讨会的重点选好了吗？

Yes! We want to compare solar and wind power.

选好了！我们想比较太阳能和风能。

Well... we haven't completely agreed on that yet.

嗯……其实我们在这点上还没完全达成一致。

Oh? What's the disagreement?

哦？你们哪里有分歧？

I think we should focus on wind, especially offshore wind farms.

我觉得我们应该专注于风能，特别是海上风电场。

Britain gets more electricity from wind than from any other renewable.

英国从风能获得的电力比其他任何可再生能源都多。

But everyone talks about wind! Solar is far more interesting.

可是大家都在讲风能！太阳能有意思多了。

The price of solar panels has fallen dramatically in ten years.

太阳能板的价格在十年里大幅下降了。

Okay, you could actually use that contrast in your seminar.

好，其实你们可以在研讨会上利用这种对比。

Present both, then ask the group which one has more potential.

两个都介绍，然后问大家哪一个更有潜力。

Oh! A debate format? I hadn't thought of that.

哦！辩论的形式？我还真没想到。

That would definitely keep people awake on a Friday afternoon.

这样周五下午大家肯定不会打瞌睡了。

Ha, that's always the real challenge, isn't it?

哈，那永远是真正的挑战，对吧？

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

在听对话的剩余部分之前，你有一些时间阅读第27到30题。

Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty.

现在请听，并回答第27到30题。

So, how are you going to divide the work?

那么，你们打算怎么分工？

I'll research the costs and find some recent figures.

我来研究成本，找一些最新的数据。

And I'll look at the environmental impact on wildlife.

我来看看对野生动物的环境影响。

Hmm, be careful. Some of those sources are quite out of date.

嗯，要小心。有些资料已经相当过时了。

Oh, I'm afraid most of my sources are over ten years old.

哎呀，恐怕我的大部分资料都超过十年了。

Don't worry. The library has a database with newer studies.

别担心。图书馆有个数据库，里面有更新的研究。

What about visuals? Should we make a handout?

那视觉材料呢？我们要做讲义吗？

Ugh, nobody ever reads handouts. Let's do a short video instead.

唉，讲义根本没人看。我们做个短视频吧。

Um, a video takes ages to make, though...

呃，可是做视频要花很长时间……

Keep it simple. One clear chart is better than a long video.

简单点。一张清楚的图表比一段长视频好。

Oh. I was really looking forward to filming that.

哦。我本来很期待拍那个的。

Right. Send me your plan by next Wednesday.

好。下周三之前把计划发给我。

We will! Thanks so much for your help.

好的！非常感谢您的帮助。

And I'll save my filming skills for the next project!

那我的拍摄技术就留到下个项目吧！

That is the end of Part Three.

第三部分到此结束。
