Test 1-Section 3SECTION 3
[01:07.84TUTOR: OK, so what I'd like you to do now is to talk to your partner about your presentations on urban planning.
[01:14.67You should have done most of the reading now, so I'd like you to share your ideas, and talk about the structure of your presentation and what you need to do next.
[01:25.97CARLA: OK Rob.
[01:27.22I'm glad we chose quite a specific topic - cities built next to the sea.
[01:32.41It made it much easier to find relevant information.
[01:35.44ROB: Yeah.
[01:36.20And cities are growing so quickly - I mean, we know that more than half the world's population lives in cities now.
[01:43.10CARLA: Yeah, though that's all cities, not just ones on the coast.
[01:47.98But most of the biggest cities are actually built by the sea.
[01:51.58I'd not realised that before.
[01:53.30ROB: Nor me.
[01:54.48And what's more, a lot of them are built at places where rivers come out into the sea.
[01:59.28But apparently this can be a problem.
[02:01.46CARLA: Why?
[02:02.40ROB: Well, as the city expands, agriculture and industry tend to spread further inland along the rivers, and so agriculture moves even further inland up the river.
[02:13.29That's not necessarily a problem, except it means more and more pollutants are discharged into the rivers.
[02:19.56CARLA: So these are brought downstream to the cities?
[02:23.07ROB: Right.
[02:24.33Hmm.
[02:25.20Did you read that article about Miami, on the east coast of the USA?
[02:28.32CARLA: No.
[02:29.14ROB: Well, apparently back in the 1950s they built channels to drain away the water in case of flooding.
[02:34.77CARLA: Sounds sensible.
[02:36.61ROB: Yeah, they spent quite a lot of money on them.
[02:39.47But what they didn't take into account was global warming.
[02:42.90So they built the drainage channels too close to sea level, and now sea levels are rising, they're more or less useless.
[02:49.67If there's a lot of rain, the water can't run away, there's nowhere for it to go.
[02:54.50The whole design was faulty.
[02:56.45CARLA: So what are the authorities doing about it now?
[02:59.98ROB: I don't know.
[03:01.15I did read that they're aiming to stop disposing of waste water into the ocean over the next ten years.
[03:06.82CARLA: But that won't help with flood prevention now, will it?
[03:10.26ROB: No.
[03:10.98Really they just need to find the money for something to replace the drainage channels in order to protect against flooding now.
[03:18.18But in the long term they need to consider the whole ecosystem.
[03:21.72CARLA: Right.
[03:23.33Really, though, coastal cities can't deal with their problems on their own, can they?
[03:28.48I mean, they've got to start acting together at an international level instead of just doing their own thing.
[03:34.86ROB: Absolutely.
[03:36.19The thing is, everyone knows what the problems are and environmentalists have a pretty good idea of what we should be doing about them, so they should be able to work together to some extent.
[03:47.04But it's going to be a long time before countries come to a decision on what principles they're prepared to abide by.
[03:53.08CARLA: Yes, if they ever do.
[04:38.23CARLA: So I think we've probably got enough for our presentation.
[04:41.60It's only fifteen minutes.
[04:43.10ROB: OK.
[04:43.80So I suppose we'll begin with some general historical background about why coastal cities were established.
[04:50.50But we don't want to spend too long on that.
[04:53.14The other students will already know a bit about it.
[04:55.54It's all to do with communications and so on.
[04:58.70CARLA: Yes.
[04:59.76We should mention some geographical factors, things like wetlands and river estuaries and coastal erosion and so on.
[05:08.73We could have some maps of different cities with these features marked.
[05:13.03ROB: On a handout you mean?
[05:14.59Or some slides everyone can see?
[05:16.76CARLA: Yeah, that'd be better.
[05:18.73ROB: It'd be good to go into past mistakes in a bit more detail.
[05:22.65Did you read that case study of the problems there were in New Orleans with flooding a few years ago?
[05:27.89CARLA: Yes.
[05:28.74We could use that as the basis for that part of the talk.
[05:32.89I don't think the other students will have read it, but they'll remember hearing about the flooding at the time.
[05:38.44ROB: OK.
[05:39.92So that's probably enough background.
[05:42.73CARLA: So then we'll go on to talk about what action's being taken to deal with the problems of coastal cities.
[05:49.19ROB: OK.
[05:50.47What else do we need to talk about?
[05:52.90Maybe something on future risks, looking more at the long term, if populations continue to grow.
[05:58.51CARLA: Yeah.
[05:59.73We'll need to do a bit of work there, I haven't got much information, have you?
[06:04.88ROB: No.
[06:05.56We'll need to look at some websites.
[06:07.46Shouldn't take too long.
[06:08.62CARLA: OK.
[06:09.66And I think we should end by talking about international implications.
[06:15.09Maybe we could ask people in the audience.
[06:17.76We've got people from quite a lot of different places.
[06:20.40ROB: That'd be interesting, if we have time, yes.
[06:23.49So now shall we…
導師：好的，我希望你們現在和自己的搭檔談談關於城市規劃的演講。
你們應該已經完成了大部分的閱讀，所以我希望你們能分享自己的想法，並說說你們的演講結構和下一步需要做什麼。
卡拉：好的，羅伯。
我很高興我們選擇了一個非常具體的話題--海濱城市。
這使我們更容易找到相關的信息。
羅伯：是的。
城市發展如此之快，我的意思是，我們都知道現在世界上有一半以上的人口居住在城市裡。
卡拉：是的，雖然那是所有的城市，不只是沿海的。
但大多數最大的城市實際上都是在海邊建造的。
我以前沒有意識到這一點。
羅伯：我也沒有想到。
更重要的是，它們很多都建在河流入海口的地方。
但顯然這將是個問題。
卡拉：為什麼?
羅伯：嗯，隨著城市的擴張，農業和工業會逐漸沿著河流向內陸進一步擴展，因此農業將會向河流上遊的內陸進一步延伸。
這不一定是一個問題，但它可能意味著越來越多的汙染物會排放到河流。
卡拉：所以這些東西被帶到了下遊城市?
羅伯：對。
嗯。
你讀過那篇關於美國東海岸的邁阿密的文章嗎?
卡拉：沒有。
羅伯：顯然，早在20世紀50年代，他們就修建了排水管道，以防洪水泛濫。
卡拉：聽起來很明智。
羅伯：是啊，他們在這上面花了很多錢。
但他們沒有考慮到全球變暖。
所以他們建的排水管道太接近海平面了，現在海平面在上升，這些管道或多或少是無用的。
如果有大量的降雨，水不能流走，也無處可去。
整個設計都是有問題的。
卡拉：那麼有關部門現在在做什麼呢?
羅伯：我不知道。
我之前確實讀到他們打算在未來十年內停止向海洋排放廢水。
卡拉：但這對現在的防洪沒有幫助，不是嗎?
羅伯：是的。
事實上，他們只需要一筆錢來更換排水系統，抵抗當前的洪水侵襲。
但從長遠來看，他們需要考慮整個生態系統。
卡拉：對的。
不過，沿海城市真的無法只靠自己解決問題，不是嗎?
我的意思是，他們必須開始在國際層面上一起合作而不僅僅是閉門造車。
羅伯：當然。
重要的是，每個人都知道問題是什麼，環保人士對我們應該如何處理這些問題有很好的想法，所以他們應該能夠在某種程度上合作。
但是，要各國決定準備遵守哪些原則，還需要很長時間。
卡拉：是的，如果他們真這麼做的話。
卡拉：所以我想我們的演講大概已經有了足夠的內容。
只需要15分鐘。
羅伯：好的。
所以我想我們應該從一些關於為何建立沿海城市的歷史背景開始。
但我們不想在這上面花太多時間。
其他的學生估計已經了解了一些。
這全要看溝通互動了。
卡拉：是的。
我們應該提到一些地理因素，如溼地、河口、海岸侵蝕等。
我們可以準備一些不同城市的地圖，在上面標出這些特徵。
羅伯：你是說講義?
或是一些大家都能看到的幻燈片?
卡拉：是的，那會更好。
羅伯：把過去的錯誤講得更詳細一點會很好。
你讀過幾年前紐奧良洪水問題的案例研究嗎?
卡拉：讀過。
我們可以用它作為那部分演講的基礎。
我覺得其他學生應該沒有看過這個案例，但他們應該會聽說過當時那件關於洪水的事。
羅伯：好吧。
所以背景大概就夠了。
卡拉：那麼我們接著討論，人們正在採取什麼行動來處理沿海城市的問題。
羅伯：好的。
我們還需要談什麼?
可以談點未來的風險，更多地著眼於長期，如果人口繼續增長的話。
卡拉：是的。
我們需要在那一點上做做準備，我沒有太多的信息，你呢?
羅伯：我也沒有。
我們需要查詢一些網站。
這用不了多久。
卡拉：好的。
我認為我們應該在結束時談談國際影響。
或許我們可以問問觀眾。
我們有很多來自不同地方的人。
羅伯：對，如果我們有時間的話，那會很有趣的。
所以現在我們……
