6. Do whales have stomach ache?
2
My younger brother is called Fred.
3
Fred's very interested in animals.
4
He talks and asks questions about animals all the time.
5
Fred's really interested in parrots, pandas, polar bears and penguins,
6
and lions and leopards and rabbits.
7
But Fred's favourite animals live in the sea.
8
He has posters of jellyfish, whales, dolphins, sharks and octopuses on all the walls of his bedroom.
9
Look at my picture, Mum.
10
This is an octopus.
11
Why do octopuses have eight arms, or are they legs?
12
Why are there little cups on their arms?
13
Fred doesn't stop talking when I'm doing my homework or when Mum's trying to read quietly.
14
Shhh, Fred, we have to say sometimes.
15
Last Saturday, Fred wanted to go to the library in town to get a book called The Most Dangerous Animals in the World.
16
He wanted to get a DVD called Leopard Spots too.
17
But Mum said, No, Fred, you don't look well.
18
I want Aunt Jane to come and see you.
19
You've got lots of little red spots on your face.
20
Aunt Jane is a doctor.
21
She knows all about red spots.
22
Fred looked in the mirror.
23
But I'm not ill and my spots aren't scary and they don't hurt, he said.
24
Do you know, Mum, leopards have spots and there's a kind of dog called a damation that has hundreds of spots too.
25
Yes, I know, Mum said.
26
When Aunt Jane saw Fred, she asked, Have you got any spots on your body,
27
on your back, your shoulders or arms?
28
No, Fred said.
29
Octopuses have got eight arms.
30
Did you know that, Aunt Jane?
31
They've got three hearts too. Have they?
32
Aunt Jane said.
33
Can I look in your ears now?
34
And do you know, Aunt Jane, a blue whale is the biggest animal in the world.
35
Fred said.
36
Yes, Fred, Aunt Jane answered.
37
But can I look in your eyes now?
38
That's right.
39
Look up.
40
Good and down.
41
And dolphins are the cleverest animals in the sea.
42
Fred said.
43
Hmm.
44
Aunt Jane said.
45
Have you got a cold or a cough?
46
No. Fred answered and started talking again.
47
Sharks are the most dangerous kind of fish.
48
When a shark loses a tooth, they can't go to the dentist, but it's OK.
49
Another tooth grows.
50
Do you think sharks have toothaches sometimes?
51
Fred, stop talking, please.
52
I want to look in your mouth now.
53
Say, ah.
54
Ah, Fred said, and then started talking again.
55
And dolphins are good at bouncing balls on their heads.
56
Do you think they have headaches sometimes?
57
I don't know, Fred, Aunt Jane said.
58
Then she smiled at him and said, Well, you haven't got a temperature, but you need some medicine and you mustn't go shopping today.
59
You can go to the shopping centre to get your book and DVD on Monday.
60
Okay?
61
Aunt Jane opened a bottle of green medicine and put some on a spoon.
62
Fred didn't like medicine.
63
He stopped talking because he didn't want to open his mouth.
64
You must open your mouth now, please, Fred, Aunt Jane said.
65
But Fred didn't open his mouth.
66
Aunt Jane had a clever idea.
67
Do you think whales have stomachaches sometimes, Fred? she asked.
68
Fred started to say, When Fred did that, Aunt Jane quickly put the medicine into his open mouth.
69
Oh, that's horrible, Fred said, but then he smiled.
70
Hey, I like this medicine a lot.
71
It's the nicest medicine in the world.
72
Can I have some more?
73
Aunt Jane laughed.
74
No, she said.
75
You can have a glass of orange juice, Mum said.
76
But then Fred started talking again Whales don't drink orange juice But they do have stomachache,
77
I think They have very big stomachs Do you know they eat...
78
Shhh, Fred, I said Shhh, Fred, Mum said And...
79
Shhh, Fred, Aunt Jane said you

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？

在学习英语的过程中，口语练习是非常重要的。观看《鲸鱼会肚子疼吗？》这个视频，你不仅可以了解关于动物的有趣知识，还能提升自己的英语口语能力。通过跟随视频中的小对话和故事情节进行shadow speech，学员可以模仿说话者的语音语调，提高语音表达的流利度和准确性。此外，这种练习形式能帮助学习者建立自信，增强与他人交流时的语言表达能力。

语法与表达的语境

视频中使用了几种关键句型，这些句型在日常对话中非常实用：

  • 疑问句：“Do whales have stomach ache?” 这种疑问句的结构有助于学习者在提问时掌握语法。此外，学习如何使用助动词来形成疑问句是提高口语能力的关键。
  • 描述性句子：“Fred's favourite animals live in the sea.” 通过这种句型，学习者能够更好地描述事物与自己的喜好。
  • 对比句：“But Mom said, No, Fred, you don't look well.” 此类句式可用于表达意见不同或对比信息，非常适合英语口语练习。

在进行英语口语练习时，学习者可将这些句型作为模板，进行更丰富的交流活动，大大提升实际沟通能力。

常见的发音陷阱

在视频中，有一些单词可能会让学习者感到困惑，尤其是在发音上：

  • octopuses：这个词可能因其多音节而让人发音困难，尤其是在快速对话中，要注意清晰地发出每个音节。
  • leopard：这个词的发音中“le”与“pard”之间的过渡需要熟练掌握，以避免因为发音不清而导致对方的误解。
  • dangerous：这个词在非母语者中常常被发音错误，特别是中间的音节，建议学习者在练习时多加注意。

通过shadowspeaks的学习方法，学习者可以反复听到正确的发音并练习，这对于克服发音障碍至关重要。

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。
