雅思聽(tīng)力在考試中占據(jù)著重要的地位,時(shí)常用聽(tīng)力材料來(lái)磨耳朵可以不斷鞏固大腦的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言能力。以下是雅思聽(tīng)力材料,您可以結(jié)合MP3和下方的原文及翻譯進(jìn)行聽(tīng)力學(xué)習(xí)。
聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯
So, now let me tell you about some of the activities that your child can do during the after-school sessions. As well as being able to use the playground equipment, computers, and the library, there is usually at least one special activity that children can do each day.
現(xiàn)在,讓我來(lái)告訴您一些您的孩子在課后可以進(jìn)行的活動(dòng)。除了能夠使用操場(chǎng)設(shè)備、電腦和圖書(shū)館外,孩子們通常每天還可以進(jìn)行至少一項(xiàng)特殊活動(dòng)。
For example, Spanish – we have a specialist teacher coming in every Thursday to give a basic introduction to the language through games and songs. She does two sessions, one for the older children and one for the younger children. This is the only activity which we have to make an extra charge for, but it's well worth it.
例如,西班牙語(yǔ)——我們每周四都會(huì)有一位專業(yè)老師來(lái)通過(guò)游戲和歌曲介紹該語(yǔ)言的基本知識(shí)。她會(huì)上兩節(jié)課,一節(jié)課針對(duì)年齡較大的孩子,一節(jié)課針對(duì)年齡較小的孩子。這是我們唯一需要額外收費(fèi)的活動(dòng),但非常值得。
Once a week, the children have the opportunity to do some music. We're very lucky that one of our staff is a member of a folk band, and on Mondays she teaches singing and percussion to groups of children. We do rely on parental support for this, so if any of you sing or play an instrument and would be prepared to help out at these sessions, we'd be delighted. Painting continues to be one of the most popular activities to begin with.
每周一次,孩子們有機(jī)會(huì)演奏音樂(lè)。我們很幸運(yùn),我們的一名員工是民間樂(lè)隊(duì)的成員,周一她會(huì)教一群孩子唱歌和打擊樂(lè)。我們確實(shí)依靠家長(zhǎng)的支持,所以如果你們當(dāng)中有人會(huì)唱歌或演奏樂(lè)器,并愿意在這些課程中幫忙,我們會(huì)很高興。繪畫(huà)仍然是最受歡迎的活動(dòng)之一。
We weren't keen on offering this because of the extra mess involved, but children kept asking if they could do some art, and so we finally gave in. Art is great for helping the children to relax after working hard at school all day. Yoga is something that we've been meaning to introduce for some time, but haven't been able to find anyone available to teach it – until now, that is.
我們本來(lái)不太愿意提供這項(xiàng)活動(dòng),因?yàn)闀?huì)造成額外的混亂,但孩子們一直問(wèn)他們是否可以做一些藝術(shù),所以我們最終讓步了。藝術(shù)可以幫助孩子們?cè)趯W(xué)校辛苦學(xué)習(xí)一整天后放松身心。瑜伽是我們一直想介紹的東西,但一直找不到人教它——直到現(xiàn)在。
So, we'll see how this goes. Hopefully, children will benefit in all sorts of ways from this. Cooking is another popular activity; they make a different sort of cake, pizza, or bread each week. Although the younger children love doing it, we found that the mess was just too much, so we've decided to restrict this to the older children as they are better able to clean up after themselves.
所以,我們會(huì)看看情況如何。希望孩子們能從中受益匪淺。烹飪是另一項(xiàng)受歡迎的活動(dòng);他們每周都會(huì)做不同種類的蛋糕、披薩或面包。雖然年紀(jì)較小的孩子喜歡做這件事,但我們發(fā)現(xiàn)混亂實(shí)在是太多了,所以我們決定只讓年齡較大的孩子做這件事,因?yàn)樗麄兏心芰ψ约菏帐皻埦帧?/p>
