English on the Go it,
2
but have you ever thought about whether online shopping is good or bad for you?
3
We'll explore both sides of the issue and help you think about your own shopping habits.
4
Joining us today are two friends,
5
Lisa and Clem, who are discussing the pros and cons of online shopping.
6
Let's listen in on their conversation.
7
Before we jump into the conversation, think about these questions.
8
1. Do you prefer shopping online or in physical stores?
9
2. What are some benefits and disadvantages of online shopping?
10
3. How has online shopping changed the way we buy things?
11
Hey Ben, have you noticed how much online shopping has become a part of our lives?
12
Absolutely.
13
It's so convenient.
14
You can buy anything from clothes to groceries with just a click.
15
Yeah, it saves a lot of time.
16
You don't have to leave your house,
17
and everything gets delivered right to your door.
18
That's true, but don't you think there are some downsides too?
19
I mean, sometimes it's hard to know if what you're buying is really good quality.
20
You're right.
21
Pictures online don't always match the actual product.
22
Plus, returning things can be such a hassle.
23
Exactly.
24
And I've noticed that I tend to buy more when I shop online,
25
especially because it's so easy.
26
I sometimes end up buying things I don't really need.
27
Oh, me too.
28
I get tempted by all the sales and discounts,
29
and before I know it,
30
I've spent way more than I planned.
31
Another thing is that online shopping isn't great for local businesses.
32
It's tough for small shops to compete with big online stores.
33
That's a good point.
34
I try to support local stores when I can,
35
but it's hard to resist the convenience of shopping online.
36
Yeah.
37
But I guess online shopping isn't all bad.
38
It's great for people who live far from big cities or have busy schedules.
39
Definitely.
40
And sometimes you can find unique items online that you wouldn't be able to get in stores.
41
At the end of the day,
42
I think it's all about balance.
43
Online shopping is great when used wisely,
44
but it's important to think about what and why we're buying.
45
Agreed.
46
Being mindful of our spending and supporting local shops when possible is key.
47
Let's take a moment to go over some of the vocabulary from the conversation.
48
1. Convenient.
49
It means something that is easy and saves time.
50
For example, shopping online is convenient because you don't need to go to the store.
51
2. Hassle.
52
It refers to something that is difficult or causes trouble.
53
For example, returning things online can be a hassle.
54
3. Tempted.
55
It means feeling the desire to do something,
56
especially something you shouldn't do.
57
For example, I was tempted to buy more because of the sale.
58
Support.
59
It means to help or give assistance to someone or something.
60
For example, I try to support local businesses by shopping at small stores.
61
Five, mindful, it means to be aware or conscious of something.
62
For example, we should be mindful of our spending when shopping online.
63
Now, listen to the conversation again,

关于本课
在这一节中，您将学习有关网络购物的优缺点，同时提高您的英语听说能力。我们将聆听两位朋友的对话，Lisa和Clem，讨论他们的购物习惯。通过这个练习，您不仅能了解网络购物对我们生活的影响，还能通过模仿他们的发音和语调，提升您的英语口语技能。这种方法被称为英语影子跟读，是一种有效的方式来提高您的发音和语言理解能力。
关键词汇和短语
- Convenient - 方便的；它指的是某事物简单且节省时间。
- Shopping online - 网上购物；在互联网上购买商品。
- Local businesses - 当地商店；在您所在地区的商家。
- Returning items - 退货；将购买的物品返回给卖家的过程。
- Unique items - 独特的物品；在市场上少见或独特的商品。
- Tempted - 受到诱惑；想要购买某物的感觉。
- Support local - 支持本地；推广和帮助地方商家。
练习技巧
在聆听这段对话的时候，试着使用shadow speech的技巧。首先，跟随对话的节奏，尽量模仿发音和语调。可以将视频暂停，每次重复一句话，确保您说得尽量接近原音。在此过程中，注意语音的重音和语调变化，这将有助于您更好地理解全部内容。此外，建议您反复练习，逐渐增加您跟读的流畅度。当您感觉到自己的发音有了改进时，不妨录制自己的声音，与原对话进行对比，这样可以进一步提升您的提高英语发音的能力。
记住，练习是关键。您越多地进行英语影子跟读练习，就会越发现您的英语口语能力明显提高。通过这种方法来反思您的购物习惯，也能帮助您在实际生活中更加意识到购物的重要性。
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。
