做这个播客的初衷是自己最近开始用绝望主妇重拾英语学习,希望大家也一起用我做的学习工具一起提高听力和口语~
目前自己已经背了4集绝望主妇啦。现在看youtube全英视频和用英文打电话都不太有压力了。
中国学生一般英文读写都还可以,但是听说较弱。而听说的关键是多听和多开口(好像有点废话,但是道理简单,能做到的人却不多)。而听和说是需要大量时间的。我自制的音频可以让大家用碎片时间(各种等待中的无效时间)多听和跟读!
把行动交给现在,把结果交给时间。
以下是音频原文:
NARRATOR: My name is Mary Alice Young. When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life. That all changed last Thursday. Of course everything seemed as normal at first. I made my breakfast for my family.
NARRATOR: I performed my chores.
NARRATOR: I completed my projects.NARRATOR: I ran my errands
NARRATOR: In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day - quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection.
NARRATOR: That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet to retrieve a revolver that had never been used.
NARRATOR: My body was discovered by my neighbour, Mrs. Martha Huber, who had been startled by a strange popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me 6 months before.
MRS HUBER: (on the phone) It's my neighbour. I think she's been shot, there's blood everywhere. Yes, you've got to send an ambulance. You've got to send one right now! (MRS. HUBER hangs up the phone. She stands in the kitchen, lips trembling, fighting tears.)
NARRATOR: And for a moment, Mrs. Huber stood motionless in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy. But, only for a moment.
NARRATOR: If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side.
