需要注意的發音
說話人用了 10 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 I've, isn't, they're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “th” 音: mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, breakthrough /ˈbɹeɪk.θɹuː/
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, shareholder /ˈʃɛəˌhəʊl.də(ɹ)/, observation /ˌɑbzɚˈveɪʃn̩/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, surprisingly /səˈpɹaɪzɪŋli/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, portfolio /pɔːtˈfəʊ.liˌəʊ/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: educate /ˈɛd͡ʒ.əˌkeɪt/, summarize /ˈsʌməˌɹaɪz/, notebook /ˈnoʊtˌbʊk/, oftentimes /ˈɔf.ənˌtaɪmz/, backward /ˈbækwɚd/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: shareholder /ˈʃɛəˌhəʊl.də(ɹ)/, tutorial /ˌtjuːˈtɔːɹɪəl/, surprisingly /səˈpɹaɪzɪŋli/
- /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: diagram /ˈdaɪ.ə.ɡɹæm/, mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, programmer /ˈpɹoʊɡɹæmɚ/, backward /ˈbækwɚd/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/

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。
