A dog called money.
5
One of the best ways to get money is to use a dream tin, said money.
6
Take a spare tin, turn it into a money box and write your dream on it.
7
Each dream needs its own tin.
8
The tin can be any size.
9
When the tins are ready, put all your money into them.
10
But wouldn't it be better to get more pocket money?
11
I replied.
12
Money became more serious.
13
You may not believe me, Kira.
14
But ten times more money means ten times more problems.
15
Because the more we get, the more we spend.
16
This didn't make any sense.
17
I'd surely go where I can have ten times more pocket money.
18
That's my dreamland. But money went on.
19
Look at your parents.
20
They have over one hundred times your pocket money.
21
But still they can't manage.
22
The key is not how much money we have, but how we use it.
23
First, we need to learn how to deal with our money.
24
Then we will be able to have more.
25
Now let's get back where we started, the dream tins.
26
Why don't you simply make a start?
27
But when I have so many tins, I'll mix them up," I replied.
28
You don't need many.
29
Just choose the most important wishes from the list," explained Money.
30
I took another look at my list.
31
Right.
32
My first wish was to go on a trip abroad.
33
The second was to buy a laptop.
34
The third was to help my parents make a good budget.
35
I could make dream tins for the first two and start saving.
36
However, the third one seemed a bit difficult.
37
Exactly, money read my thoughts.
38
Two dream tins are enough.
39
Can you manage that?
40
Okay, I'll give it a try.
41
No, I mean, I'll do it, I promised.

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。
