Listening one.

One.
3
I just got a new neighbor in the apartment upstairs for me.
4
I haven't met her yet,
5
but I can hear her TV set every night because she turns the volume up really high.
6
She should really be more considerate of her neighbors.
7
Two.
8
The house across the street from mine was sold last month,
9
and a young family moved in.
10
I think they'll really fit in well here.
11
They've already invited all their neighbors to a cookout at their house next week.
12
They seem like really nice people.
13
Three.
14
The man who lives next to me is moving.
15
I can't say that I'm too upset about it.
16
He's lived next to me for almost five years,
17
but I don't think he's spoken to me more than three or four times.
18
Sometimes I'll wave to him in the morning and he doesn't even wave back.
19
4. My neighbour Stacey is incredible.
20
You wouldn't believe all the things she manages to get done.
21
She works at a big law firm downtown and works really long hours.
22
She also volunteers on the weekends.
23
To top it off, her house is always spotless.
24
I honestly don't know where she finds the time.
25
5. I'm really lucky to have Bob as a neighbor.
26
He works in construction, and he's always nice about giving me a hand whenever I have work to do around the house.
27
He doesn't really cook, so I try to fix him a home-cooked meal every now and then to thank him.
28
6. I bought this house last year, and I love it.
29
My next-door neighbors are the only problem.
30
They have two young boys who like to play baseball in my yard.
31
Last month, they accidentally broke my window.
32
The boys apologized, but their parents didn't even offer to pay for the damages.
33
Can you believe that?
34
One.
35
Excuse me, Mrs. Coleman.
36
Can I help you with those bags?
37
They look pretty heavy.
38
Oh, thank you, Brian.
39
That's very kind of you.
40
If you could take this one,
41
it has most of the heavy stuff.
42
I can manage with this other one.
43
Sure, no problem.
44
I'm surprised you didn't just have these delivered.
45
Normally I do, but the driver for the supermarket was off today.
46
I really appreciate the help.
47
Carrying these bags up all those stairs would be hard at my age.
48
My pleasure.
49
Two.

Oh, hi, Cindy.
51
Was my music too loud?

My brother is supposed to be helping me,
90
but I'm not sure where he is.

92
but I haven't gotten an answer.

Well, if you'd like, I can help you until he gets here.

108
but my husband and I are going on a trip for our anniversary.

110
Uh, sure, I guess.
111
How long will you be away?
112
For two weeks, starting next Tuesday.

Good morning.
118
Hi, Ken.
119
Do you have a minute or two?
120
Sure.
121
What's up?
122
Do you remember about two weeks ago you came over to borrow our punch bowl for your party?
123
Oh my gosh!
124
I still haven't returned it.
125
Right.
126
I'm so sorry.
127
I'll bring it over this evening.
128
Great.
129
While you're at it, do you remember that you still also have Ryan's tool set?
130
That's right.
131
I'll bring that by too.
132
We don't mind lending you things,
133
but it would be nice to get them back.

217
Listening 3 1 So I have this neighbor, Mr. Cartwright.
218
He's an elderly man, retired.
219
Anyway, I used to think he was really nosy,
220
because he sits on his porch all day and watches the people in the neighborhood.
221
It used to really bother me.
222
But then I went on vacation last year,
223
and someone tried to break into my house while I was gone.
224
Mr. Cartwright saw them and called the police right away.
225
Now I'm glad to have someone like Mr. Cartwright in the neighborhood.
226
It's good to know that someone's watching out, you know?
227
2. Nancy is my next door neighbor.
228
She used to watch our children whenever my wife and I had to work late.
229
I always thought she was someone you could really count on,
230
and I never worried about leaving the kids with her, until last year.
231
I had to work late,
232
and my wife was on a business trip.
233
So I asked Nancy if she would mind picking up the kids from daycare,
234
and she said okay.
235
But later that day, I got a call from the daycare saying
236
that the kids had been waiting there for two and a half hours.
237
She completely forgot about them.
238
Now I just don't think I can trust her.
239
Three.
240
When Dr. Wu first moved into the neighborhood,
241
I didn't think very much of him.
242
I invited him to a couple of neighborhood events,
243
barbecues, dinner parties, you know,
244
but he would always decline.
245
He was never rude about it,
246
but he didn't seem very interested in getting to know his neighbors.
247
I just figured that he was kind of arrogant.
248
Later, however, I found out that he spends all of his free time volunteering at a free health clinic downtown.
249
That's why he never comes to any neighborhood events.
250
He just doesn't have time.
251
Four.
252
I really can't stand my neighbor Gary now.
253
The funny thing is, that wasn't always the case.
254
I used to get along with him really well.
255
He seemed like a quiet, polite guy.
256
He was friendly but minded his business.
257
Just generally a good neighbour, you know?
258
But in the last year or so he's gotten a new hobby.
259
Repairing and riding old motorcycles.
260
And these things are so loud,
261
he'll get up around 6.30 or 7am on a Saturday and start working on one of his motorcycles.
262
Like fixing the engine and then testing it.
263
He wakes up half the neighbourhood.
264
I've talked to him about it before but he just won't listen.
265

Daycare Dictation Did you hear about the argument between Steve and Mr. Riley?
324
An argument?
325
But they've been friends for years.
326
What happened?
327
Steve was cutting some tree branches from that tree in his yard,
328
and one fell on the roof of Mr. Riley's car.
329
Oh, no. You know that car is his prized possession.
330
Right.
331
Well, Steve offered to take it to a repair shop and pay for the damages.
332
That seems reasonable.
333
Yeah, but Mr. Riley was so angry that he won't even talk to Steve anymore.

背景與上下文
在這個影片中,講述者與鄰居的互動反映了生活中的種種情況。從新鄰居的聲音到孩子們在院子裡玩耍,這些場景讓我們感受到鄰里關係的溫暖與挑戰。聽這些對話不僅可以幫助我們理解生活日常,還能提高我們使用英語進行交流的能力。
日常交流的五個常用短語
- Can I help you? - 這是一個表達願意提供幫助的友好方式。
- Thank you, that's very kind of you. - 用於感謝他人幫助的禮貌表達。

逐步跟讀指南
為了有效地提高英語發音,您可以嘗試以下步驟進行影子式練習 (shadow speech)。這是一種有效的學習方法,可以幫助您增強英語口語能力。
- 初步聆聽: 先不帶字幕地聽一遍影片,儘量把握整體內容。
- 分段跟讀: 將影片分成幾小段,反覆播放每一段,並藉助轉錄文本進行跟讀 (shadow speak)。
- 模仿語調: 注意講者的語音語調和停頓,儘量模仿他們的發音和情感。
- 錄音回放: 自己錄下跟讀的聲音,並與原聲進行對比,找出發音的差異。
- 重複練習: 每天抽出時間重複這個過程,以提高發音準確性和流利度。
通過這種方式,您不僅可以提高語言技巧,還能加深對鄰里關係和日常交流的理解。嘗試在看YouTube學英語的同時,運用這些短語和影子技巧,讓您的英語更流利!
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態,現在已不再如此 | used to think · used to really bother · used to watch |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | haven't met · They've already invited · have parked |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | mind lending · mind picking · start working |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | were wondering · was cutting |
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。
