1
And now, I'd like to introduce Virginia Miller to read her winning poem of the Boston Youth Poet Laureate contest.
2
The name of this poem,
3
because names are very important.
4
The name of this poem is Beginnings.
5
Here we are starting fresh, but I don't remember what it feels like to feel whole.
6
How do you fix a hole in your chest?
7
A band-aid?
8
Cold compress?
9
If a tree falls in the wood, would it make a sound
10
if no one was around to swing the axe to cut off my head
11
and stop the train of thoughts to derail the track and divert from the one-track mind I have?
12
Having to go through things that make you strong weakens you.
13
It's a catch-22.
14
So what do you do?
15
The flame.
16
The heat.
17
Licking at my skin to a beat.
18
A rhythm.
19
A release.
20
The flame consumes me.
21
I eat the pain or it eats me.
22
A cavernous, carnivorous beast with an insatiable appetite.
23
And I'm just a bite and I'm gone.
24
As who I once was goes up in flames.
25
I'm trying to change, to grow, to tie this all up in a neat, tidy bow.
26
But I'll never know right and wrong, weak and strong, a binary that already has complexities and shades of gray, and I just want to be okay.
27
I can't keep burning through life this way.
28
Will it ever stop?
29
There can't be more shoes that drop.
30
I need hope that all will be well, that my heart will swell and fill the hole.
31
I need to accept what I can't control.
32
The secrets are told.
33
There's nothing new to learn or unfold.
34
I need peace to gather the pieces of my soul, or I will burn until there is nothing left.
35
Remind me, Mr. Jinton, why did Jim and Miller drop out of AP English?
36
I think we should have a chat.

- How do you fix a hole in your chest?
- I can't keep burning through life this way.
- I need to accept what I can't control.
需要注意的发音
说话人用了 9 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 can't, I'm, don't。请按听到的简短形式来说。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: insatiable /ɪnˈseɪʃ(j)əbəl/, shade /ʃeɪd/

中文母语者容易读错的音：
- /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: carnivorous /kɑːˈnɪv.ə.ɹəs/, cavernous /ˈkæv.ɚ.nəs/, divert /daɪˈvɝt/
- 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: carnivorous /kɑːˈnɪv.ə.ɹəs/, cavernous /ˈkæv.ɚ.nəs/, compress /ˈkɑmpɹɛs/, divert /daɪˈvɝt/, unfold /ʌnˈfoʊld/
- /æ/ — 嘴张大，不要读成 /e/: cavernous /ˈkæv.ɚ.nəs/, appetite /ˈæp.əˌtaɪt/
如何用这段视频练习
- 先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
- 用正常速度逐句跟读，每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
- 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 flame, carnivorous, compress 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。
