1
Emily, do you know what time it is?
2
No, what time is it?
3
It's pizza time!
4
Mmm, yum!
5
Hey, wait!
6
Today we're going to learn how to tell the time with the pizza.
7
Oh, okay!
8
Okay, before we start we have to know a couple of things.
9
This is a clock, right?
10
Yes.
11
And these are its hands.
12
The little hand shows us the hours.
13
And the big hand shows us the minutes.
14
When the big hand is pointing to the 12th, we say it's o'clock.
15
Now it's four o'clock.
16
So, Emily, what's the time now?
17
Now it's five o'clock.
18
Very good!
19
When the big hen is pointing to the three, we say it's quarter past.
20
Why do we say it's quarter past?
21
Because a quarter of the hour has passed.
22
So, what's the time?
23
Now it's quarter past five.
24
Perfect!
25
When the big hen is pointing to the 6, we say it's half past.
26
Because half of the hour has passed, so now it's half past 5.
27
Fantastic!
28
And finally, when the big hen is on the 9, we say it's quarter to.
29
So now it's quarter to 6.
30
Perfect!
31
Perfect!
32
But what happens when the big hand isn't on the 12, the 3, the 6 or the 9?
33
Pfft, I don't know.
34
Well, we count the minutes in fives.
35
So, now it's 5 past 6.
36
It's 10 past 6.
37
It's quarter past 6.
38
It's 20 past 6.
39
It's 25 past 6.
40
It's half past 6.
41
Wait a minute.
42
After half past, it changes.
43
Then we count how many minutes there are before the next hour.
44
It's 25 to 7.
45
It's 20 to 7.
46
I see.
47
It's quarter to 7.
48
It's 10 to 7.
49
That's right!
50
What time is it?
51
I'm hungry.
52
It's pizza o'clock.
53
Yes!
54
We hope you have fun learning to tell the time with us.
55
Goodbye!
56
We say it's quarter too.
57
For other times, we count the minutes in fives.
58
That's it!
59
Now you can practice telling the time.

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。
