If you're lucky, you have a loving family or a close-knit family.

These expressions refer to a family that has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other.

24
and the father has to pay child support—regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.
25

26
and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting—then they will probably stay on good terms with each other,

meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
