在PTE中,无论是Summarise Spoken Text 还是 Re-tell Lecture的考题大都是从真实的讲座或者演讲中截取的,中间经常经常夹杂很多不同的环境音.很多同学都反映有时未必是听不懂,而是听不到. 鉴于此,墨尔本文波雅思PTE专门为大家总结了真实讲座的PTE练习音频,相比新闻音频来说,整体更加接近PTE考试的真题,内容方面,我们也会为大家提供考试中存在的近似题,最近我们会持续更新,敬请期待!
The second big driver that will transform our future is, of course, demographics. 1 billion children are alive today, all of whom will be adults within the next eighteen years. All of them will see your lifestyle on CNN or NBC even, if they don’t own a TV, they will see it through the door of the bar. They will see it through the posters on the side of the highway, even if they don’t own a car. 1 billion children, all of whom will consume resources. Linked to that, an urbanisation trend, at a pace which we have never seen before. 300 million people in China alone will move from rural areas into cities in the next 8 or 9 years. Another 450 million people will move in Africa off the land and into cities. Most of them, most city dwellers already live slums. They have no running water, or maybe the very first service they have is access to a tap, a hundred meters away. They have, at the moment, very little access to electricity, but they’re there. And they’re demanding infrastructure, and their homes will grow from the one-story shack, to 2 storeys, to 3 storeys, and then once the mains water supply arrives another crisis comes. And of course, as you’be seen it, which is the puddles of water everywhere, the drains that are full of soap and human waste, the earth that used to be dry, because people only carried 10 liters 100 meters every 10 hours, now we have leaking taps, we have sewage problems, and we have a whole host of other issues requiring more infrastructure.
