Unit 7.
2
Not the normal news.
3
Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society.
4
However, there is a place where readers can find some good news.
5
That place is the website called Happy News.
6
The man behind Happy News is Byron Rees.
7
Rees set up Happy News because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
8
Rees said about Happy News, The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery and despair.
9
We're trying to balance out the scale.
10
Not everyone agrees with Rees' view though.
11
Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people.
12
People need to know about issues or problems in today's society.
13
Then people are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives.
14
Rees said that Happy News is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.
15
Happy News is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today's world.
16
By the end of its first month online, Happy News had more than 70,000 unique readers.
17
About 60% of those readers were women.
18
Something else unique makes Happy News different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet.
19
Unlike many other websites, Happy News gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.
20
Sources of the News Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer.
21
Where do you think Happy News gets all of the information it reports on?
22
The information I read said that on the Happy News website you will find stories from other news media sources.
23
The stories are just read by the editors who work for
24
Happy News first to make sure they are okay for the website.
25
So, they just look for happy stories from other news sources and collect those on their website?
26
That's right.
27
Also, they may post stories from regular people, as long as the stories are written like news reports.
28
So, I could write a story for Happy News?
29
You could, but be sure to provide sources for the information in your story.
30
The editors at Happy News have to check your facts before they'll post your story.
31
Thank you.

逐步影子跟讀指南
為了提高您的英語發音並掌握使用這些短語的能力,我們建議採用英語影子跟讀的練習方法。以下是具體步驟:
- 觀看影片: 首先,您可以反覆觀看與本單元相關的YouTube影片。看YouTube學英語是一個不錯的選擇,能幫助您理解內容。
- 暫停並模仿: 在特定的短語或句子結束後,暫停影片,嘗試模仿說話者的語音和語調。這是進行shadow speech的重要環節。
- 分段練習: 將影片分為若干部分,逐段進行練習。先跟讀簡短的句子,逐步增加到完整的段落。
- 錄音自評: 用手機或錄音裝置錄下自己的聲音,和影片中的說話者進行對比,以發現發音和流利度上的差異。
- 持續反饋: 定期向老師或語言夥伴請教,並獲取反饋,以便更好地調整練習方法,提高英語發音。
通過這些練習,您將能夠提升自己的影子發音能力,增強語言的流暢性,快速掌握各類日常會話短語。記得堅持練習,讓學習過程變得輕鬆而有趣!
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 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | are just read · are written |
| 現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事 | We're trying · is not trying · is just trying |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | will find · they'll post |
| 義務:must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的 | need to know · have to check |
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。
