精聽建議:
先完整地把一條新聞聽一到三遍,爭取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精聽,力爭每句話都聽明白。遇到實在不懂的地方,再聽寫。
下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的詞都很簡單,不過是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發音哦,有些語速比較快。試試看,你能不能全部寫對?
(參考文本,歡迎指出錯誤^^)

學會欣賞藝術作品
上星期我去倫敦塔特美術館看了一場繪畫展覽。我并不是一個真正的藝術愛好者,但我讀過一些關于這次展覽的很好的評論,所以我渴望去參觀。
我必須誠實地承認許多繪畫作品使我失望。雖然我花了很多時間仔細地看每一幅作品,但我還是很難理解藝術家所要表達的意思。當我費力地看著其中的一幅畫并試圖弄清楚它是否放倒了時,一位年長的紳士從后面過來,向我解釋整幅畫。他友好地回答我所有的問題,我們談論了一個多小時。后來他說他還有個約會必須走了,我們握手道別。我又繞著美術館走了一遍,現在我發現所有的畫似乎都很美。
當我準備離開美術館的時候我才知道那個老人是誰。他的自畫像出現在該次展覽的宣傳海報上.
