録音失敗、代わりに・・・

今日はビジネス英会話のタイマーセットを忘れてしまいました。一週間分の予約が設定できるようなデッキがほしくなってきました。明日忘れずに録音しなくては。

あまり聞いてはいませんがリスニング入門とレッツスピークも録音しています。今日はビジネス英会話の代わりに、金曜日に録音したリスニング入門の、テキストにはない会話をディクテーションしてみました。テキストを見ずにきくとかなり手ごわいですよ。
遠山先生とアシスタント2名がしゃべっているのをそのままディクテーション。めんどうなので誰が何をしゃべっているのかを入れるのは省略!

LN 11/05 Bird listening!?  (Bird watchingにかけている)
Ornithologist 鳥類学者

Today we have a special report from ornithologist Robin Billings
who is going to talk about non migratory birds, birds who stick
around for the cold weather. Robin?

Thanks Katie. I have a special task for a gateway listeners and
that is to identify the birds in the illustration. I’ll be describing
three birds and they should circle the name of one bird out of
three names provided.

Non migratory birds 非渡り鳥/Head/Cap or crown/Back of the head
/Forehead/Throat/Underside/Beak or bill (バードウォッチング用語)

We are all ears!
Do the task!
No.3 The black-capped Chickadee (アメリカコガラ)
How did you identify the bird, Katie?
Because Robin said, “this small bird has a grey back with white underparts. But it’s most easily identified by its black cap, black throat, and white cheeks”.

Check your understanding
1. Do all birds migrate south for the winter?
No. Not all birds migrate south for the winter.
2. Can a White-breasted Nuthatch easily crack a hard nut with its strong head?
No.  It can, with its strong bill.
That’s right.
3. To attract these birds, what can you fill your bird feeder with?
You can fill it with sunflower seeds and peanuts.

Lucky birds!
They love them.
I do, too.
I’ve done that before.
Really?

One shot deal
What was the question? When is the sale?
The answer is? Saturday at 1 p.m. sharp.

Pop quiz
Not all birds are migratory birds.
The answer is? That’s true. That’s right. Not all birds are migratory birds. That’s right. Some stick around for the winter.
Non migratory. Here is to the winners! Very good!
