Gary the Dreamer by Gary Soto Illustrated by Elizabeth Gomez I was born in April,

a month when it rains and rains.

Maybe this is why when I was three years old, I liked to open my mouth and taste rain.

Also, April is when flowers bloom, bees arrive out of nowhere.

I lived in a small white house.

My dog's name was Blackie.

My cat's name was Boots.

I had a canary just bigger than a big person's thumb.

But my bird flew away when the little door of its cage was left open.

So sorry, little canary, but I think it was me who left it open.

I remember my high chair.

I remember watching my parents and older brother at the dinner table.

When I got a little bigger, I got to sit with them.

Most mornings I ate oatmeal sprinkled with brown sugar.

The sugar was like rocket energy.

I blasted out of the house, ready to play.

I played tag with the neighbor kids.

I played hide-and-seek.

I played catch with oranges.

In our backyard we had an orange tree.

We also had plum, lemon, and apple trees.

Lucky me!

Anytime I was hungry for a snack, I just went outside and picked a fruit.

I didn't have many toys.

My army men were pinto beans and pebbles.

I played with them in the dirt.

I got dirty from playing hard.

It seemed like a giant pepper shaker had sprinkled me with dust.

My favorite fruit was watermelon.

After I ate a slice of watermelon, I ended up with seeds in my mouth.

These seeds were my ammo to spit at my older brother.

He would spit some back at me.

It was sort of like a fun war.

The seeds flew all over the place.

In kindergarten, I learned my colors.

I learned to tie my shoes and to be nice.

I liked to sing, too.

My brother said he could hear me from the next classroom.

I made my first friend, Daryl.

I made another friend, Jose.

At recess, we went on the slide.

It was like a big shiny spoon and slippery.

Then we went on the swings.

It was scary but fun going high and jumping out.

Then we went on the monkey bars.

If I fell, I never got hurt.

In first grade, I practiced writing the alphabet.

The letters were big and blocky.

I wrote my name, G-A-R-Y.

Some days my nice teacher would have to tell me, Gary, sit still.

I wiggled a lot in my chair.

I dreamed a lot.

I was busy looking at the floor or my hands or out the window.

Wow, could that be my canary in the tree?

I couldn't pronounce some words.

I couldn't say sandwich.

I would say Sammy.

I knew that 2 plus 2 was 4.

But what was 5 plus 7?

I counted out my answer on my fingers, sticky from the peanut butter and jam, inside my Sammy.

In second grade, we collected money to help children in Africa.

They didn't have anything to eat.

I collected pennies, lots of pennies.

I noticed that the pennies were the same as me.

You see, I was naturally brown, and even browner from running in the sun.

I felt like I was giving poor Africa a piece of me.

My classmates got taller, but I seemed to stay the same size.

I still liked playing at recess.

I liked dodgeball, kickball, and foursquare.

I would tumble when I played soccer.

I was quick.

I admire people who are quick and who play fair.

By third grade, I was a good reader.

I loved picture books.

The pages were bright and colorful as toucans, those tropical birds with long beaks.

Every week I went to the public library.

I checked out mountains of books.

I was still a dreamer.

Sometimes I watched ants going in and out of their holes, or I would watch water racing in the curb.

The river of water carried matchsticks, leaves, gum wrappers, and those poor little ants.

I rescued some of those ants.

I put them carefully on my finger and set them on the cement curb.

They lay for a while like weak little shadows.

Then they woke up and staggered away.

It was fun in third grade.

I still stayed small, like those ants, I guess.

I was scared of math, poor me.

But reading was what I really liked.

I read on the couch, I read in bed with carrot sticks, like pencils in my hands.

I liked to read in my favorite tree.

Once when Boots came by, I tossed a piece of bark at him.

He looked around and meowed.

I giggled.

I tossed another piece of bark at him.

This time Boots saw me and climbed up the tree.

We sat on a fat limb, the two of us.

I read him a story about a bird.

He licked his paws.

The engine inside him began to purr.

100

I guess Boots liked reading too.

101

On weekends, my family went to Chinatown.

102

We bought groceries there at the Mexican store.

103

I remember mariachis roving the street.

104

Their sombreros were huge.

105

You couldn't see their eyes, only their hanging mustaches.

106

Their trumpets blared, the guitars strummed, their violins seemed to weep.

107

The guitarrant thumped deeply.

108

One time, I saw a dog dance to the mariachi music.

109

The dog went back and forth, back and forth, like he was doing the cha-cha.

110

Every night I took a bubble bath in our deep tub.

111

The water roared from the faucet as I climbed in.

112

The bubbles rose like mountains.

113

No, like really pretty clouds.

114

I scooped up the bubbles and patted them onto my face.

115

I pretended that I had a beard.

116

I placed some of the bubbles on my head.

117

Oh, a sombrero.

118

I was a dreamer.

119

I was sometimes in another world.

120

In bed, I covered myself with two blankets.

121

I thought about the day before I fell asleep, so tired.

122

My legs kicked.

123

As I dreamed I was running for a touchdown, and the whole school was watching me.

124

Gary Soto grew up to be an author.

125

He dreamed up ideas for more than 40 books for children and grown-ups.

126

He shares his Mexican-American culture through his poems and stories.

127

Thank you.

Wow, could that be my canary in the tree?

影片中的語法

過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作	was giving · was doing · was running

需要注意的發音

詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: ant /ænt/, seed /siːd/, collect /ˈkɑlɪkt/, toss /tɔs/, bark /bɑɹk/

錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 bubble, ant, seed 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。
