看逐字稿
A: Good morning! Thanks for calling the Community Makerspace. My name's Tomas. How can I help you today? B: Hi Tomas! I'm Amara. I'm calling to sign up for a membership. I want to work on some woodcraft projects. Can we set that up? A: Absolutely! I can create your account right now. First, let's get your name and contact details. I've got your first name as Amara. How do you spell your surname? B: It's Gbeho. That's G-B-E-H-O. And my contact phone number is 07700 900542. A: Let me just check that number... 07700 900541? B: Oh, actually, it ends in 42, not 41. I changed it last month and I always get the last digit mixed up! Now, which membership option should I choose? I want enough evening hours. A: For evenings, our Hobbyist tier is definitely the best fit. And when would you like to start? We can do today, October the 1st, or any other date. B: Well, I'm going to be away for a couple of weeks at the start of the month. So instead of the 1st, could we make the start date the 14th October? Also, I heard there's an induction session. A: October the 14th it is. Yes, for safety reasons, all new members are required to complete a safety induction before booking any workshop space, though our general tools induction is optional. We also have excellent transport links: you can park opposite the train station or next to the public library, but we actually have our own dedicated car park right behind the main building, which is free for members. B: A safety induction sounds sensible, let's book that. And a free car park behind the main building is perfect. What kind of perks do I get with the Hobbyist membership? Do I get a storage locker? A: Storage lockers actually carry a monthly fee, and safety goggles cost a pound to rent, but you'll receive a free welcome pack containing project guides. Oh, and keep in mind our hours. The main workshop is closed on Monday mornings. We used to do staff training then, and we considered deep cleaning, but now we close then specifically for equipment maintenance. But if you book on weekday afternoons, we offer a 20% discount on workshop fees—we used to do 15% last year, but we increased it. B: A free welcome pack is great, and a 20% discount on weekday afternoons is amazing! Is there anything special I need to bring for my first practical session? A: Yes! We provide your membership card when you arrive, and we supply dust masks and notebooks. However, you must wear closed-toe shoes—sandals aren't allowed—and you need to bring your own measuring tape, as we don't supply those individually. B: Got it! Closed-toe shoes and a measuring tape. I'll make sure to pack those. Thanks for all your help, Tomas! See you on the 14th! [Q1] Surname: ________

A:早安!感謝您致電社區創客空間。我是 Tomas,今天有什麼我可以幫忙的嗎? B:嗨,Tomas!我是 Amara。我打來是要申請會員的。我想做一些木工專案,我們可以現在辦理嗎? A:沒問題!我現在就可以幫您建立帳號。首先,請提供您的姓名和聯絡資訊。我已經記下您的名字是 Amara 了。請問您的姓氏怎麼拼? B:是 Gbeho。拼法是 G-B-E-H-O。我的聯絡電話是 07700 900542。 A:讓我確認一下電話號碼... 07700 900541 嗎? B:噢,其實尾數是 42,不是 41。我上個月才換號碼,老是會記錯最後一個數字!那麼,我該選擇哪種會員方案呢?我希望晚上的使用時間夠長。 A:如果是晚上的話,我們的愛好者級別絕對最適合您。那您預計什麼時候開始呢?我們可以從今天 10 月 1 日開始,或是其他日期也可以。 B:嗯,這個月初我會離開幾週。所以,可以不要從 1 日開始,改將開始日期設在 10 月 14 日嗎?另外,我聽說有安全講習。 A:那就定在 10 月 14 日。沒錯,出於安全考量,所有新會員在預約任何工作室空間之前,都必須完成安全講習,不過我們的一般工具講習是選修的。我們的交通也很便利:您可以停在火車站對面或公共圖書館旁邊,但實際上我們在主建物正後方有專屬的停車場,會員可以免費停車。 B:安全講習聽起來很合理,那我們就預約吧。而且主建物後方有免費停車場真是太棒了。愛好者會員有什麼福利嗎?有提供置物櫃嗎? A:置物櫃其實需要額外付月租費,護目鏡租借費用是一英鎊,但您會收到一份免費的迎新禮包,裡面包含專案指南。對了,請留意我們的營業時間。主工作室在星期一早上不開放。我們以前會在那個時間進行員工培訓,也曾考慮過進行深度清潔,但現在我們關閉那段時間是專門用來維護設備的。不過,如果您預約平日下午,我們提供工作室費用 20% 的折扣——去年是 15%,但我們今年調高了。 B:免費的迎新禮包很讚,平日下午 20% 的折扣也太棒了!我第一次去實作時,有需要特別攜帶什麼嗎? A:是的!您抵達時我們會提供會員卡,我們也提供防塵口罩和筆記本。不過,您必須穿著包頭鞋——不能穿涼鞋——而且您需要自己帶捲尺,因為我們不個別提供。 B:明白!包頭鞋和捲尺。我一定會帶這兩樣。謝謝你幫了這麼多忙,Tomas!14號見!

第 11 題
Position 1 — the room immediately on the left of the main entrance
看逐字稿
Hello everyone, and welcome to your orientation session here at the Greenfield Community Workshop. I’m Tomas, the facility coordinator. I’ll give you a quick run-down of the layout before we discuss the booking rules. Let's start with where things are. If you look at your floor plans, we are currently standing in the entry lobby. Right, as you walk in through the main entrance, the first room you see immediately on your left is our Design Studio. That's where we house the computers and 3D printers. Moving further into the building, if you look over at the far back-left corner, there's a large open workspace. Some people assume we'd put the Electronics Lab there, but actually, that spacious area is our Woodworking Zone, where all the heavy machinery and benches are. Now, on the right side of the building, just behind our reception desk, you'll see a smaller room. We originally planned this as a staff kitchenette, but we decided to use it as the Electronics Lab instead, so you can do soldering and wiring there. Further down, tucked in the corner behind the main stairs and right next to the emergency exit, is an alcove. We considered putting the first aid station there, but we realized it's the perfect spot for our Safety Equipment Locker, so please look there for spare helmets and gloves. Finally, if you look at the back of the building, there is a narrow space right next to the back door. We'd originally designated this for materials storage, but to comply with fire regulations, we changed our mind and it's now our Waste Sorting Area. Now, let’s talk about how to use the hub. If you want to book a workbench, we used to require 24 hours' notice, but now you can just book online anytime, provided you have completed our introductory safety course. As for our tools, hand tools must remain on-site at all times, unlike power tools, which can actually be hired for home projects. We don't charge any deposit for hand tools, but please return them to the racks ten minutes before our five o'clock closing time. Now, some specialized machinery, like our high-speed laser cutter, has stricter rules. You aren't allowed to use it alone, even if you've watched the online tutorial; you must only operate it when a certified supervisor is standing with you, though there's no extra fee for this. Also, if you're working on a multi-day project, please don't leave your unfinished items on the workbenches overnight, even with a 'do not touch' note. You don't have to lug them home, though—just write your name on a tag and store them on the designated shelves. Oh, and if you need extra supplies, we have a vending machine near the door. Don't worry about buying wood glue, as that's provided free at the tables, and timber offcuts in the scrap bin are also free. We don't sell protective eyewear there either, so you'll need to bring your own goggles. However, the vending machine does stock sandpaper, which is extremely handy, and you can also buy replacement drill bits there if you happen to snap one while working. [Q11] Position 1 — the room immediately on the left of the main entrance

大家好,歡迎來到格林菲爾德社區工作坊(Greenfield Community Workshop)的新人說明會。我是場地管理員 Tomas。在討論預約規則之前,我會先為大家簡單介紹一下這裡的空間配置。我們首先來看看各個位置。如果大家看著手中的平面圖,我們目前正站在入口大廳。好的,當你從主入口走進來時,你立刻會在左手邊看到第一間房間,那就是我們的「設計工作室」(Design Studio)。那是我們放置電腦和 3D 印表機的地方。再往建築物內部走,如果你看往左後方最角落的地方,那裡有一個很大的開放式工作空間。有些人以為我們會把「電子實驗室」設在那裡,但實際上,那個寬敞的區域是我們的「木工區」(Woodworking Zone),那裡放了所有的重型機械和工作檯。接著,在建築物的右側,也就是我們接待櫃檯的正後方,你會看到一間比較小的房間。我們原本計劃將這裡作為員工茶水間,但後來決定將其改為「電子實驗室」(Electronics Lab),這樣大家就可以在那裡進行焊接和配線。再往前走,在主樓梯後方、緊鄰緊急出口的角落裡,有一個凹室。我們曾考慮在那裡設置「急救站」,但後來發現那裡是放置「安全設備置物櫃」(Safety Equipment Locker)的絕佳地點,所以請到那裡尋找備用的安全帽和手套。最後,如果你看建築物的後方,在後門旁邊有一個狹窄的空間。我們原本將其規劃為「材料儲藏區」,但為了符合消防法規,我們改變了主意,現在這裡是我們的「垃圾分類區」(Waste Sorting Area)。現在,我們來談談如何使用這個中心。如果你想預約工作檯,以前我們要求提前 24 小時通知,但現在只要你完成了我們的入門安全課程,就可以隨時在線上預約。至於我們的工具,手動工具必須一直留在現場,這與可以租借回家做專案的電動工具不同。我們不收取手動工具的押金,但請在五點閉館前的十分鐘將它們放回架上。現在,某些專用機械,例如我們的高速雷射切割機,有更嚴格的規定。即使你已經看過線上教學影片,也不允許獨自使用;你必須在有合格監導人員在旁陪同的情況下才能操作,不過這不需要額外付費。此外,如果你正在進行多天期的專案,請不要將未完成的項目留在工作檯上過夜,即使留有「請勿觸摸」的便條紙也不行。不過,你不需要大老遠把它們搬回家——只需在標籤上寫下你的名字,並將它們存放在指定的架子上即可。喔,如果你需要額外的用品,我們在門口附近有一台自動販賣機。不用擔心購買木工膠,因為桌上都有免費提供,廢料桶裡的木材邊角料也是免費的。我們那裡也不販售防護眼鏡,所以你需要自行攜帶護目鏡。不過,自動販賣機確實有販售砂紙,這非常方便,如果你在工作時不小心折斷了鑽頭,也可以在那裡購買備用鑽頭。

returning the digital pH probes
看逐字稿
A: Hi Sofia, glad we could meet up to sort out our fieldwork plan for the Valley Reserve next week. We really need to finalize our sampling methods and who's doing what. B: Absolutely, Tomas. I was looking at the two main sites. Site A is near the stream, and Site B is further up the slope. I thought we could use systematic sampling for both, you know, setting up a transect line. A: Mmm, that makes sense for the slope because there's a clear gradient. But near the stream, the vegetation is so patchy. I think random sampling using a grid would actually give us a more representative soil set. What do you think? B: Oh, you're right. If we just did a line there, we might miss the clay patches entirely. Okay, so random sampling for the stream area, and systematic for the slope. I'll write that down. A: Great. Now, what about the soil testing kits? We need to measure pH and moisture levels. I can borrow the digital pH probes from the lab technician on Monday morning. B: Wait, didn't Dr. Amara say the digital ones are being calibrated next week? Ah, no, that was the moisture meters. Yes, the pH probes are free, but we have to return them by Wednesday afternoon. No, sorry, my mistake—they need them back by Tuesday at noon, because the first-year class has a practical session then. A: Ah, that's a tight squeeze. We're going out on Monday. If we have to get them back by Tuesday midday, I'd better clean them and hand them in as soon as we get back on Monday evening. I don't mind doing that. B: That would be a lifesaver. I can take responsibility for compiling the raw data into our shared spreadsheet on Tuesday morning, then. That way, we both share the administrative load. A: Perfect. Now, we also need to decide how to measure the soil compaction. I read about two methods: the simple penetration test using a metal rod, or the core cylinder method where we actually extract a known volume of soil and weigh it later. B: The core cylinder method is definitely more accurate, but it takes ages to dry the samples in the oven. Since we only have a week to submit the draft, maybe the penetration test is better, even if it's less precise? A: Actually, the lab has a high-speed drying oven now—it only takes three hours instead of twenty-four. So I reckon we should go with the cylinder method. It'll make our analysis much more robust, and the tutor will prefer that. B: Oh, really? I didn't know they upgraded the oven. In that case, let's absolutely do the cylinder method. I can carry the heavy coring tool if you don't mind carrying the soil sample bags—they get quite heavy when wet. A: Deal. I've got a sturdy backpack for those. Oh, one more thing: we need to get permission from the reserve warden. I drafted an email to him, but I wasn't sure if we need to show our risk assessment first. B: Yes, the department policy says we must attach the signed risk assessment to any permission requests. I've already filled out the safety form, so if you send me your draft email, I'll merge them and send it off today. A: Excellent. I'll email you the draft right now. And oh, we also need to bring the physical maps of the reserve. I printed some out, but they got wet last time. I'll laminate them this time. B: Good idea. And don't forget we need to wear high-visibility vests. The department has them in the locker, but we have to bring our own sturdy boots, obviously. A: Yes, I'll grab the vests when I get the pH probes on Monday morning. And I'll bring the laminated maps. B: Perfect. Let's get to work! [Q21] returning the digital pH probes

Tomas:嗨,Sofia,很高興能見面討論下週在溪谷保護區(Valley Reserve)的野外考察計劃。我們真的需要定案取樣方法和人員分工。 Sofia:沒錯,Tomas。我剛看了兩個主要的地點。樣區 A 在溪流附近,樣區 B 則在更上方的坡地。我想這兩個地方都可以採用系統抽樣,也就是設置一條樣線。 Tomas:嗯,對坡地來說這樣行得通,因為那裡有明顯的坡度變化。但在溪流附近,植被分布太不均勻了。我覺得用網格進行隨機抽樣,實際上能讓我們取得更有代表性的土壤樣本。妳覺得呢? Sofia:噢,妳說得對。如果我們只在那裡拉一條線,可能會完全漏掉黏土區域。好,那溪流區域用隨機抽樣,坡地用系統抽樣。我把它記下來。 Tomas:太好了。那土壤檢測套組呢?我們需要測量 pH 值和水分含量。我可以星期一早上向實驗室技術員借數位 pH 探針。 Sofia:等等,Amara 教授不是說數位儀器下週要進行校正嗎?啊,不對,那是水分測定儀。沒錯,pH 探針是可以借的,但我們必須在星期三下午前歸還。不,抱歉,我弄錯了——他們星期二中午前就得拿回去,因為那時一年級的班級有實作課。 Tomas:啊,那時間很緊湊。我們星期一要出去。如果我們必須在星期二中午前歸還,那我最好在星期一晚上回來後立刻清洗乾淨並交回去。我不介意處理這件事。 Sofia:那真是幫了大忙。那我就負責在星期二早上把原始數據整理到我們的共享試算表中。這樣一來,我們就能共同分擔行政工作。 Tomas:太完美了。現在,我們還需要決定如何測量土壤緊實度。我讀過兩種方法:一種是使用金屬棒的簡易貫入試驗,另一種是環刀法,也就是實際上提取已知體積的土壤,之後再進行稱重。 Sofia:環刀法絕對更準確,但在烘箱裡烘乾樣本需要花好長的時間。既然我們只有一週的時間提交草稿,也許貫入試驗會比較好,就算它沒那麼精準? Tomas:其實,實驗室現在有高速烘乾箱了——只需要三個小時,而不是二十四個小時。所以我認為我們應該採用環刀法。這會讓我們的分析更具說服力,而且指導老師也會比較喜歡這種方法。 Sofia:噢,真的嗎?我不知道他們升級了烘箱。既然這樣,我們一定要用環刀法。如果你不介意背土壤採樣袋的話,我可以負責拿沉重的採樣工具——採樣袋濕的時候會變得很重。 Tomas:一言為定。我有一個堅固的背包可以裝那些袋子。喔,還有一件事:我們需要獲得保護區管理員的許可。我草擬了一封給他的電子郵件,但我不確定我們是否需要先出示風險評估。 Sofia:是的,系上的規定是我們必須在任何許可申請中附加已簽署的風險評估。我已經填好安全表單了,所以如果你把電子郵件草稿發給我,我今天就會把它們整合並寄出去。 Tomas:太棒了。我現在就把草稿發電郵給妳。對了,我們還需要攜帶保護區的紙本電子地圖。我之前印了一些,但上次弄濕了。這次我會把它們護貝。 Sofia:好主意。別忘了我們需要穿高能見度的反光背心。系上的置物櫃裡有,但我們顯然得自己帶耐穿的靴子。 Tomas:沒問題,我星期一早上拿 pH 探針時會順便拿背心。我也會把護貝好的地圖帶過去。 Sofia:太完美了。我們動工吧!

How many participants actually took part in Dr. Tomas Vance's smart garment study?
看逐字稿
Good morning, everyone. Today we're exploring the intersection of wearable technology and psychological well-being, focusing on a fascinating study led by Dr. Tomas Vance on smart garments. Now, when we think of smart clothing, we often picture bulky fitness trackers, but his team developed a lightweight undershirt woven with microscopic conductive silver fibers to monitor physiological stress indicators. Initially, the researchers planned to recruit 150 volunteers to test these shirts—actually, let me correct myself, they hoped for 150 but only managed to secure 115 participants due to budget constraints, though this was still a statistically significant sample. So, what exactly did they measure? Well, while most wearable tech focus exclusively on heart rate variability, Tomas’s study prioritized changes in breathing patterns, as shallow respiration is a much faster indicator of acute anxiety. The participants were asked to wear the undershirts while performing three demanding tasks: a difficult math test, an unexpected interview, and a public presentation. Interestingly, the data revealed that during the public presentation, participants' stress levels didn't peak during the actual speaking, but rather in the two minutes before they stepped onto the stage. This suggests that anticipatory anxiety is actually more physiologically taxing than active performance, a finding that could reshape how we prepare individuals for high-pressure careers. Now, the team faced several technical hurdles, most notably the issue of signal interference caused by the wearer's sudden physical movements, which they solved not by altering the fabric, but by developing a new filtering algorithm. Looking ahead, Dr. Vance is keen to adapt this technology for specific user groups, though there are different challenges for each. For instance, for emergency first responders, the primary focus is on durability, ensuring the fibers don't degrade under extreme heat or physical strain. For elderly patients in home care, the priority is real-time cloud integration so that healthcare providers receive instant alerts if vital signs drop. For professional athletes, however, the main goal is aerodynamic comfort, ensuring the material doesn't create drag or restrict movement. And finally, for office workers, the design must prioritize inconspicuous styling, allowing the garment to be worn under standard business attire without being noticeable. [Q31] How many participants actually took part in Dr. Tomas Vance's smart garment study?

大家早安。今天我們將探討穿戴式科技與心理健康的交集,並將焦點放在一項由湯瑪斯·萬斯博士(Dr. Tomas Vance)主導、關於智慧服飾的精彩研究。說到智慧衣著,我們通常會聯想到笨重的健身追蹤器,但他的團隊開發了一款輕巧的內著衣,裡面織有微小的導電銀纖維,用來監測生理壓力指標。起初,研究人員計劃招募 150 名志願者來測試這些衣服——事實上,讓我更正一下,他們本來希望有 150 人,但由於預算限制,最後只成功招募到 115 位參與者,不過這在統計學上仍是具有顯著意義的樣本數量。那麼,他們究竟測量了什麼?大部分的穿戴式科技都只專注於心率變異性,但湯瑪斯的研究優先考慮了呼吸模式的變化,因為淺呼吸是反映急性焦慮快得多的指標。參與者被要求在穿著這款內著衣的同時,執行三項具挑戰性的任務:高難度的數學測驗、突如其來的面試,以及公開演講。有趣的是,數據顯示在公開演講期間,參與者的壓力值並非在實際演講時達到頂峰,而是在登台前的兩分鐘。這表明預期焦慮在生理上其實比實際表現更令人緊繃,這項發現可能會重塑我們培訓高壓職業人才的方式。接著,團隊面臨了幾個技術瓶頸,最顯著的是穿戴者突如其來的身體動作所造成的訊號干擾,他們解決這個問題的方法並非改變布料,而是開發出了一種全新的過濾演算法。展望未來,萬斯博士熱切希望將這項技術應用於特定的使用者群體,儘管每個群體都面臨不同的挑戰。例如,對於緊急救難人員,首要重點是耐用性,以確保纖維在極端高溫或身體拉扯下不會變質。對於居家照護的年長患者,首要任務是即時雲端整合,以便在生命徵象下降時,醫療保健人員能收到即時警示。然而,對於職業運動員來說,主要目標是空氣動力學的舒適度,確保材質不會產生阻力或限制動作。最後,對於辦公室職員,設計必須優先考慮不顯眼的外觀,讓這件衣物穿在標準商務正裝裡面時不會被輕易察覺。
