Amazon網(wǎng)站上的買家對它的評價挺高的,作者在英語教學領(lǐng)域也頗有建樹,整套教材看起來確有過人之處。原版系列一共是5張CD加一本書,我找到的是經(jīng)過MP3抓軌軟件處理過的,Mp3壓縮率為128kps,音質(zhì)非常好,這種音質(zhì)對于語音訓練來說簡直有點奢侈。其實32kps就足夠了。
我隨機聽了幾個片斷,感覺不錯,的確是標準的北美語音。主講人的語速有點快,所以對于聽力還是有一點要求的。我個人認為這套教材對于介于初級和中級的英語學習者是非常有用的,那些希望改善自己發(fā)音的網(wǎng)友也可以嘗試一下。
我下載的是一個壓縮包,只有語音無教材,我加入PDF格式的文本教材,然后制作成一張ISO,以方便下載。
