劍橋雅思17 Test2 Part3雅思聽力原文
ED:Did you make notes while you were watching the performances of Romeo and Juliet,Gemma?
GEMMA:Yes,I did.I found it quite hard though.I kept getting too involved in the play.
ED:Me too.I ended up not taking notes.I wrote down my impressions when I got home.Do you mind if I check a few things with you?In case I’ve missed anything.And I’ve also got some questions about our assignment.
GEMMA:No,it’s good to talk things through.I may have missed things too.
ED:OK great.So first of all,I’m not sure how much information we should include in our reviews.
GEMMA:Right.Well,I don’t think we need to describe what happens.Especially as Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays.
ED:Yeah,everyone knows the story.In an essay we’d focus on the poetry and Shakespeare’s use of imagery etc.,but that isn’t really relevant in a review.We’re supposed to focus on how effective this particular production is.
GEMMA:Mmm.We should say what made it a success or a failure.
ED:And part of that means talking about the emotional impact the performance had on us(Q21).I think that’s important.
GEMMA:Yes.And we should definitely mention how well the director handled important bits of the play–like when Romeo climbs onto Juliet’s balcony(Q22).
ED:And the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt(Q22).
GEMMA:Yes.It would also be interesting to mention the theatre space,how the director used it but I don’t think we’ll have space in 800 words.
ED:No.OK.That all sounds quite straightforward.
ED:So what about The Emporium Theatre’s production of the play?
GEMMA:I thought some things worked really well but there were some problems too.
ED:Yeah.What about the set,for example?
GEMMA:I think it was visually really stunning(Q23).I’d say that was probably the most memorable thing about this production.
ED:You’re right.The set design was really amazing(Q23),but actually I have seen similar ideas used in other productions.
GEMMA:What about the lighting?Some of the scenes were so dimly lit it was quite hard to see.
ED:I didn’t dislike it.It helped to change the mood of the quieter scenes(Q24).
GEMMA:That’s a good point.
ED:What did you think of the costumes?
GEMMA:I was a bit surprised by the contemporary dress(Q25),I must say.
ED:Yeah–I think it worked well,but I had assumed it would be more conventional(Q25).
GEMMA:Me too.I liked the music at the beginning and I thought the musicians were brilliant,but I thought they were wasted because the music didn’t have much impact in Acts 2 and 3(Q26).
ED:Yes–that was a shame(Q26).
GEMMA:One problem with this production was that the actors didn’t deliver the lines that well.They were speaking too fast(Q27).
ED:It was a problem I agree,but I thought it was because they weren’t speaking loudly enough–especially at key points in the play(Q27).
GEMMA:I actually didn’t have a problem with that.
ED:It’s been an interesting experience watching different versions of Romeo and Juliet,hasn’t it?
GEMMA:Definitely.It’s made me realise how relevant the play still is.
ED:Right.I mean a lot’s changed since Shakespeare’s time,but in many ways nothing’s changed.There are always disagreements and tension between teenagers and their parents(Q28).
GEMMA:Yes,that’s something all young people can relate to–more than the violence and the extreme emotions in the play.
ED:How did you find watching it in translation?
GEMMA:Really interesting.I expected to find it more challenging,but I could follow the story pretty well.
ED:I stopped worrying about not being able to understand all the words and focused on the actors’expressions.The ending was pretty powerful(Q29).
GEMMA:Yes.That somehow intensified the emotion for me(Q29).
ED:Did you know Shakespeare’s been translated into more languages than any other writer?
GEMMA:What’s the reason for his international appeal,do you think?
ED:I was reading that it’s because his plays are about basic themes that people everywhere are familiar with.
GEMMA:Yeah,and they can also be understood on different levels(Q30).The characters have such depth.
ED:Right–which allows directors to experiment and find new angles(Q30).
GEMMA:That’s really important because…
