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!
How do historians know about the past? What is the primary source? Well, primary sources arise from the period been studied, such as government documents, private letters, newspaper reports, diaries and eye-witness accounts and so on. As an example, let’s look at some primary source material from Peterloo Massacre of 1819. In Manchester, on the morning of August 16th, 1819, a peaceful mass meeting was called by pro-democracy and anti-poverty protesters to demand the vote. The speaker was a famed orator Henry Hunt, who addressed the 60,000 strong crowd about reforms, the authorities thought the meeting was treasonous and an arrest warrant was issued for Henry Hunt in a bid to halt the protesting. When the protesters refused to stop, the authorities ordered the yeomanry to disperse the crowd. Several people in the crowd were killed and hundreds more wounded by the charging Hussars and infantry men. The historical event produced a wide range of primary source material and it’s historian’s job to study all these and to find out what happened.
