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,歡迎指正^^)

When I was seventeen, I was forbidden to stay out till three o'clock in the morning, and walk about the house with dirty feet, and grow a beard, and wear gold chains and behave like a ..."
He went on and on until Charlie said kindly, "Poor Father. My grandfather died before I was born, so I never met him, but he must have been a terrible old gentleman."
"Not at all!" Mr. Yates objected 5 . "I had a much nicer father than you'll ever have!"
