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^^)
Lesson55 An Amateur Artist
When Sebastian was at school, his favourite lesson was art, and he won several prizes because he was so good at 1 .
Once he left school, he got a position as a clerk in a bank, but 2 he went to evening classes in art, and whenever he had time at the weekends, he painted.
After a few months he thought, "Perhaps I can sell some of my pictures and get enough money to leave the bank and become a real artist because I don"t like life at the bank. I only enjoy painting."
In the bank, Sebastian sometimes had to 3 a man who owned a picture shop. Sebastian invited him to his home one evening to see some of his work. Sebastian took the man to his studio and started to show him some of his pictures, with some 4 .
The man looked at them one after another while Sebastian watched his face, but to Sebastian's disappointment the man did not say anything, and his expression did not change at any of them either.
Then, when he had finished, he looked around, and his 5 fell on something else. A happy look came over his face for the first time, and he said, "Now I like this one very much! It's so full of deep feeling! I"m sure I could sell this one for you!"
"That," said Sebastian "is the place where I clean the paint off my brushes."
