Oxford University Press 2019
3
Chapter 1.
4
Guitar and Drums My friend Kate loves music.
5
She's always singing and playing her guitar, and she's good, too.
6
She usually plays in her bedroom,
7
but today she's going to play in the town square.
8
She's going to play in front of people, and she's afraid.
9
So I'm going with her.
10
My name's Lucy, and I'm Kate's best friend.
11
We arrive at the square,
12
and there are lots of people.
13
Near the flower shop, there is a living statue.
14
She is silver from head to foot.
15
Her face, her hat, her coat, everything.
16
She isn't moving, I say.
17
How does she do that?
18
The man from the flower shop hears me.
19
Oh, the silver statue never moves, he laughs.
20
She stands there every day,
21
from early morning to late afternoon.
22
We walk across the square and stop near a cafe.
23
I'm going to sing here, I think, says Kate.
24
She gets her guitar out of its bag bag.
25
Good luck, I say.
26
Thanks.
27
Kate begins to sing and play her guitar.
28
She's good, but she's usually better.
29
She's afraid, I can see.
30
Perhaps she's thinking, are people going to like my music.
31
But some people stop and listen,
32
and soon Kate is happier.
33
She begins to play better.
34
Then, suddenly, everything changes.
35
I hear something new.
36
Drums.
37
Loud drums.
38
A young man is sitting in the square and he's playing drums on three white buckets.
39
Kate sings louder, but it doesn't help.
40
Nobody is listening now because nobody can hear her over the drums.
41
Kate stops playing.
42
How can I play over that terrible noise? she asks angrily.
43
It isn't terrible.
44
He's a good drummer, but I can't say that now.
45
Kate puts her guitar in its bag.
46
Let's have a drink at the cafe and wait, I say.
47
At the cafe, Kate says, those drums are loud.
48
The woman from the cafe smiles.
49
Oh, that's Joe, she says.
50
He plays here every Saturday.
51
We finish our drinks and wait,
52
but the drums don't stop.
53
Let's go, Kate says.
54
We can come back next week.
55
The silver statue watches us.
56
Of course she says nothing.
57
Chapter 2 An Early Morning.
58
The next week, Kate wants to get an earlier bus.
59
I don't know, Kate.
60
I don't like getting up early on a Saturday, I tell her.
61
But I want to arrive at the square before that drummer,
62
and I need you there.
63
Please, Lucy.
64
OK, I say.
65
Of course, the silver statue is there when we arrive.
66
Then we look across the square.
67
Someone is sitting near the cafe.
68
It's Joe with his drums.
69
Look, says Kate.
70
He's here early too.
71
She begins walking fast across the square.
72
Wait, Kate, I say, but she doesn't listen to me.
73
You're playing the drums here again, Kate says.
74
Joe looks up and says,
75
I always play here on a Saturday.
76
But you're very loud, says Kate angrily.
77
I want to help.
78
Perhaps you can play first, I say to Joe. And then...
79
But now Joe is angry too.
80
This isn't your square, he tells Kate.
81
And then he begins playing.
82
And that isn't music, Kate shouts over the drums.
83
But Joe closes his eyes and plays.
84
Let's go to the cafe again, I say.
85
We can wait there.
86
But Kate is walking away.
87
Next week is going to be different, she says.
88
Chapter 3.
89
Louder and Louder The next Saturday,
90
we're back in the square.
91
The silver statue is there,
92
of course, but we don't see Joe today.
93
Kate has her guitar, but that isn't all.
94
She has an amp and a microphone too.
95
They're from our school.
96
When Kate begins playing this time, the music is louder.
97
People stop and listen.
98
They like her.
99
I know it.
100
Some people give her money.
101
They put it in her guitar bag.
102
But when Kate is singing her third song, we suddenly hear drums.
103
We look across the square and see Joe.
104
This time, Kate is ready.
105
She doesn't stop playing, no. She smiles and turns up the amp.
106
That's better.
107
But then Joe begins playing louder too.
108
Kate turns up the amp again.
109
Now her music is very loud.
110
But wait, the drums are louder now too.
111
Some of the people in the square begin walking away.
112
People can't hear Kate's music very well because Joe's drums are very loud.
113
And they can't hear the drums well because Kate's song is loud too.
114
Together, they're making a terrible noise.
115
Suddenly, there is a shout.
116
Stop!
117
Chapter 4 A Note Stop!
118
Someone shouts again.
119
It's the woman from the cafe.
120
Kate and Jo stop playing and look back at her.
121
Nobody wants to hear this, the woman says.
122
She's right.
123
Nobody is sitting at the tables in front of her cafe now.
124
Kate and Joe walk across to the woman.
125
Sorry, they say.
126
OK, says the woman.
127
Joe, you can play first for 30 minutes.
128
She looks at Kate.
129
Then you can play, all right?
130
Yes, they say.
131
Kate and I sit at the cafe for the next 30 minutes.
132
Of course, we can hear the drums.
133
But I can see something too.
134
Under the table, Kate's foot is moving.
135
She likes Joe's drums.
136
Soon, Joe finishes, and Kate begins playing.
137
She sings well, and Joe listens to her.
138
After the last song, Kate and I take the money from her guitar bag.
139
Wait, I say.
140
What's this?
141
It's a note for you.
142
What does it say?
143
Asks Kate.
144
Sorry about today.
145
Your music is good.
146
Perhaps we can play together next week?
147
Eleven a.m.?
148
I look up.
149
It's from Joe, I think.
150
From the bus home, I have only one question.
151
So, are you going to meet Joe next week?
152
Perhaps, Kate says.
153
He is an OK drummer.
154
I want to shout, and he has nice eyes.
155
But for Kate, music is everything.
156
Chapter 5.
157
Silver Paint The next Saturday,
158
I arrive at the square after Kate.
159
I find her with Joe near the cafe.
160
They're talking before they play together.
161
Kate sees me and says, You're here!
162
Thanks, Lucy.
163
That's okay, I say.
164
I want to hear this.
165
Kate begins playing and singing.
166
Then Joe begins drumming.
167
Kate plays this song a lot.
168
But it's different with the drums.
169
I like it.
170
Suddenly, I see something.
171
Joe's bag is open and there's a note in it.
172
The note says, Sorry about today.
173
Your music is good.
174
Perhaps we can play together next week, 11am?
175
This note and Kate's note are the same.
176
And Joe's note is not from Kate.
177
So who are the notes from?
178
Then I see some paint on the note.
179
Silver paint.
180
Just then I hear something from across the square.
181
Some people are laughing.
182
They're watching the silver statue.
183
First, her foot moves.
184
Then one leg.
185
Two legs.
186
Her arms.
187
Then her body.
188
Look!
189
Someone shouts.
190
She's moving!
191
I look at the silver statue.
192
And now she is dancing.
193
She's dancing to Kate and Jo's music.
194
Soon, lots of people are laughing and dancing too.
195
Kate and Jo's music is very good,
196
and everyone is having a good time.
197
When the song finishes, the people all shout for more.
198
Kate and Jo smile and begin a new song.
199
This time, the silver statue doesn't move.
200
She's a statue again.
201
Chapter 6 The Secret Kate and Joe play two more songs.
202
When they stop, everyone wants to talk to them.
203
Come back next week, one woman says.
204
I want the silver statue to dance again.
205
And I want to hear that music again, says her friend.
206
The woman from the cafe is much happier now.
207
You two are great, she tells Kate and Joe.
208
Are you going to play together again?
209
I'd like that, says Kate.
210
Me too, Joe says.
211
He smiles at Kate.
212
And I'm sorry about last week.
213
I'm sorry too, says Kate.
214
Do you want to talk about new songs one day this week?
215
I can give you my number.
216
Yes, let's do that, Joe says.
217
And perhaps we can meet at the cafe one evening.
218
Kate smiles back at him.
219
Yes.
220
I'd like that.
221
She sees my face.
222
What?
223
She says.
224
Music isn't everything, you know, Lucy.
225
Kate and Joe begin talking excitedly again.
226
When they play music together,
227
it's very good And they're going to be good friends,
228
I think
229
We walk in front of the silver statue
230
And I think about the notes I look up at her and see a little smile on her face
231
I'm not going to tell Kate and Joe about the notes That's our secret.
232
Me and the silver statue.
233

背景與上下文
在這個影片中，主角露西和她的朋友凱特一起經歷了一次在市中心廣場的音樂演出。凱特熱愛音樂，總是彈吉他，但在公眾面前表演時感到緊張。她的表演受到了一些挑戰，特別是一位年輕的鼓手也在廣場上演奏，這讓凱特的音樂難以被人聽見。這個場景展現了音樂、友誼及面對挑戰時的勇氣，非常適合用來提高英語口語和聽力。

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 |
|---|---|
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | stops playing · stop playing |
| 現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事 | I'm going · isn't moving · is sitting |
| “going to” 表將來 be going to + 動詞 — 計劃或明顯即將發生的事 | she's going to play · I'm going to sing · is going to be |
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。
