Lesson 1.
2
Family.
3
Let's begin our study of collocations by learning some common expressions about the family.
4
Your parents and siblings, brothers and sisters,
5
are your immediate family, family,
6
and your extended family includes all your relatives—uncles,
7
cousins, great-aunts, etc. You can use a family tree to diagram the relationships among your family members.
8
A person who is related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.
9
If you're lucky, you have a loving family, or a close-knit family.
10
These expressions refer to a family that has good relationships,
11
where everyone loves each other and helps each other.
12
If you were raised in a loving family,
13
then you probably had a carefree childhood.
14
That means you had nothing to worry about when you were young.
15
On the other hand, a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy can be called a dysfunctional family.
16
If the children experience abuse,
17
poverty, or problems with the law,
18
we can say they had a troubled childhood.
19
Perhaps the parents went through a bitter divorce.
20
That means a separation in which there were bad or angry feelings between the husband and wife.
21
It's also possible to have a messy divorce,
22
with a prolonged legal battle involving lots of conflicts about the separation of the former couple's assets,
23
money and possessions.
24
The decisions about the separation of assets are made in the divorce settlement.
25
A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.
26
Sometimes the mother and father fight over custody of the children.
27
That refers to who has the primary responsibility of caring for the kids.
28
A judge can grant joint custody.
29
That means the ex-husband and ex-wife share the responsibility,
30
or sole custody to only one parent.
31
For example, a judge might award sole custody to the mother,
32
and the father has to pay child support—regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.
33
If it was a mutual divorce or separation—that means the ex-husband
34
and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting—then they will probably stay on good terms with each other,
35
meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts.
36
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship,
37
then she will become a single mother.
38
Some women in this situation choose to have an abortion,
39
and others prefer to give the baby up for adoption.

The time when the baby is planned to arrive is called the due date.
41
You can also say the baby is due in mid-October, for example.
42
After the woman has the baby or gives birth to the baby,
43
the baby is given to the adoptive parents,
44
who will raise the child or bring up the child as if it was their own.

it can be hard to make friends.

53
but with whom you don't have a significant relationship.

Over time, some of these may become good friends, or close friends.
55
These collocations refer to friends with whom you have an especially strong relationship.

perhaps because they have strong chemistry.
59
This expression describes strong compatibility or connection between two possible romantic partners.
60
Some people believe that their significant other,
61
their boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, is their soulmate.
62
This is a poetic expression that means that two people are destined to be together.
63
It's possible for one person to have feelings for another person.
64
This expression is an indirect way to describe romantic feelings.
65
But if the other person doesn't feel the same way,
66
then the feeling is not mutual.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
