1
Wow, I have to say, Oakridge really blew me away today!
2
Hmm, it was impressive, I'll give you that.
3
The science labs alone! And their results are outstanding!
4
Sure, but did you clock how long the drive took?
5
Oh, come on, forty minutes isn't the end of the world.
6
Forty minutes each way, in rush hour, twice a day.
7
Ugh, that's nearly three hours a day behind the wheel!
8
Okay, we could take turns. It's manageable, surely.
9
Says the man who's never actually done a school run.
10
I'm sorry, that's fair. That's... actually completely fair.
11
Well, Lincoln is, let's say... a little underwhelming.
12
It's perfectly decent. And all her friends are going there.
13
Friends come and go at that age, though.
14
Seriously? You honestly believe that?
15
She cried when we mentioned leaving Maya and Zoe.
16
Oh... I didn't know she'd cried.
17
She didn't want to upset you. You seemed so excited.
18
I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away by the shiny labs.
19
Ha, to be fair, they were extremely shiny.
20
Okay, so what actually matters most to her?
21
Feeling settled, I think. She's a bit of a worrier.
22
Then maybe Lincoln... and we top up the science somehow?
23
There's that robotics club on Saturdays, isn't there?
24
Oh, she'd absolutely love that!
25
And we revisit it properly before middle school.
26
Agreed. If she's bored, we look again.
27
Great. No commute marathon, and no tearful goodbyes.
28
See? We make a pretty good team when I listen.
29
Shall we tell her together over breakfast?
30
Definitely! I think pancakes might be in order!
31
Ha, now you're just bribing her.
32
Hey, it's called strategic parenting.

  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 rush, impressive, strategic 这类单词。

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。
