Good morning, Helen Ward speaking.
2
Hi Helen, it's Tom from Northgate. Is now a good time?
3
Oh, hi Tom! Sure, I've got five minutes.
4
Great. Well... I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
5
Something's come up, and I can't make Thursday's meeting.
6
Thursday? Seriously? We've had that booked for weeks!
7
I know, and I'm really sorry about the short notice.
8
Our director has called an urgent meeting with the investors.
9
Hmm. That's a bit frustrating, to be honest.
10
I've already moved two other meetings for this.
11
I completely understand, and I'll make it up to you.
12
Would Friday afternoon work for you instead?
13
No, I'm afraid I'm in Paris all day on Friday.
14
Ah, okay. What about early next week, then?
15
Monday's impossible, and Tuesday is completely packed.
16
Oh dear. I really don't want to push it back too far.
17
Neither do I. We need to sign off on this soon.
18
Wait, actually... how early do you start in the mornings?
19
Pretty early! I'm usually at my desk by eight.
20
Then how about Wednesday at eight thirty, before my day starts?
21
That's perfect! I'll come to you, and I'll bring coffee.
22
Ha, now you're talking. Can you confirm it by email?
23
Of course. I'll send a new invite in the next ten minutes.
24
And I'll attach the updated proposal, so you can read it first.
25
Great, that would be really helpful.
26
Actually, Tom, can I tell you a little secret?
27
I hadn't finished reading the proposal anyway!
28
Ha! So I've actually done you a favour, then?
29
Don't push your luck. See you on Wednesday!

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。
