The End
2
I'm sorry.
3
Listen, you guys, I know we're close friends, but this is ridiculous.
4
We have to move.
5
We've looked at three apartments so far.
6
It's time to make a decision.
7
Okay, let's review each apartment.
8
I know it isn't much bigger than this place, but I like the apartment on Hudson Street.
9
The location is great.
10
We can walk to school.
11
Yeah, there are three bedrooms, but I wish it was bigger.
12
But it's so convenient.
13
We can walk to the library to study, and that saves money, too.
14
But if we have a bigger apartment, we don't need to study at the library.
15
We could study at home.
16
The apartment on Hudson Street is too close to school.
17
It's like living in a dormitory.
18
Yeah, that's true, but it isn't as noisy as this place, and I can't study when it's noisy.
19
Yes, it's quieter, but it's also darker.
20
The kitchen is dingy, and the bathroom only has one tiny window.
21
Who needs a bathroom with a view?
22
The Lakeview apartment is much bigger and brighter.
23
It has plenty of windows.
24
Yeah, but Lakeview Drive isn't as convenient as Hudson Street.
25
It's in the suburbs.
26
It'll take us at least an hour to get to school.
27
But it has much more space.
28
There are three bedrooms, a living room, and a big kitchen.
29
It's also $700 a month.
30
That's much more expensive than the other apartments.
31
It's only $150 more than we pay now.
32
Between the three of us?
33
That's not much.
34
Yeah, I guess.
35
I just wish it was a little cheaper.
36
The kitchen is nice.
37
I'd like to be able to cook once in a while.
38
We can't make a real meal in this apartment.
39
Yes, and cooking at home saves money.
40
Which is your favorite apartment, Molly?
41
I like the apartment on 3rd Avenue.
42
It's nice and not as expensive as the others.
43
Only $500 a month.
44
It's also downtown, so there's plenty of public transportation.
45
Okay, the location is pretty good and the rent isn't as high as this place, but is it safe?
46
Isn't it dangerous downtown at night?
47
It's just as safe as any other neighborhood.
48
We should be cautious no matter where we live, but maybe a little extra cautious downtown.
49
What about space?
50
Two people have to share a bedroom, or one person has to use the living room as a bedroom.
51
That's not going to be me.
52
There wouldn't be any privacy.
53
Oh, we can work that out.
54
Look, the appliances are brand new, and the bathroom is bright.
55
It's the nicest apartment.
56
Okay, let's take a vote.
57
Write down the apartment you think we should take.
58
We have a winner!
59
Let's call the landlord and tell him we'll take it.
FOR YOU

- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, landlord /ˈlæn(d).lɔɹd/

- 用正常速度逐句跟讀，每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 bedroom, downtown, convenient 這類單詞。
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。
