We start with, do you have any pets?

It can be, yes.
123
The initial cost of getting a pet is one thing but the ongoing expenses for food, vet visits and grooming can add up quickly.
124
Are there any animals that should not be kept as pets?
125
Why?
126
I think wild and exotic animals should not be kept as pets.
127
They belong in their natural habitats and it's nearly impossible to provide them with the proper environment and care they need in a home.
128
So there you have it.
129
Two great examples, two very different styles, but both effective in their own way.
130
Joseph showed us how to be thoughtful and grounded, even if you're not a huge animal lover.

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。
