每日口语｜经典视听说教材《走遍美国》010

来自：小芳老师

走遍美国是我认为最优秀的口语教材之一，由美国新闻总署赞助，美国麦克米伦公司制作。在数十位英语专家和作者通力合作之下，费了8年（1983-1991）的时间，才制作完成这部划时代的巨作。虽然教材有点久远，但是对于练习口语还是非常的有帮助，大家可以通过以下步骤进行学习。

1. 先看视频，了解大致情节。

2. 再听音频，盲听音频3-5遍，大致听懂。

3. 通过文本，学通全部内容。

4. 再听音频，模仿跟读练习语音和口语。

5. 盲听音频，最后盲听音频尽可能多遍，听出画面感。

注：需要每天坚持，不能三天打鱼，两天晒网

ACT 1-1  “没问题，小事一桩。”

Marilyn: I am exhausted. My new exercise class is so hard.

Richard: Your new exercise class?
