Autumn has arrived.
2
The days are cooler, the nights are longer, and the trees glow with red, orange, and yellow leaves.
3
In many countries, families celebrate a very special holiday,
4
the Mid -Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Cake Festival.
5
It happens when the moon is round and bright like a giant glowing lantern in the sky.
6
The origin of the Mid -Autumn Festival
7
or Moon Cake Festival comes from a story that has been told for thousands of years.
8
Let me tell you the story.
9
Long long time ago, the world was very different.
10
Instead of one sun in the sky, there were ten.
11
The earth became scorching hot, rivers dried up, crops withered, and people had almost nothing to eat.
12
A brave young man named Hu Yi wanted to help the people.
13
He was a great archer and had a very strong bow.
14
He pulled back the bowstring, twang.
15
Whoosh!
16
One by one, he shot down nine burning suns from the sky.
17
At last, only one sun remained.
18
This sun gave the world just the right light and warmth.
19
The people were so happy and cheered loudly.
20
Hooray!
21
For Hu Yi!
22
He is our hero!
23
The Jade Emperor was very thankful to Hu Yi.
24
So he gave him a special gift, a magic drink called the Elixir of Immortality.
25
If you take just one sip, you can live forever.
26
Hu Yi loved his gentle wife Zhang Yi more than anything in the world.
27
He wanted to share the elixir with her so they could be together for all time.
28
With this elixir, we can be together forever.
29
Yes, my love, immortal and never parted.
30
They decided to wait until the brightest night of the year to drink it under the glowing full moon.
31
We must keep this elixir safe.
32
Agreed.
33
No one must know.
34
But someone discovered that Hu Yi had a magic potion that could make people live forever,
35
a greedy man named Fang Meng wanted to steal it.
36
One night, while Hu Yi was out hunting, only Zhang Yi was at home.
37
Fang Meng sneaked into their house and forced Zhang Yi to hand over the magic potion.
38
Zhang Yi knew she couldn't fight him, so with no choice, she quickly drank the potion.
39
Gulp!
40
But it was meant for two people, and a magical thing happened.
41
Zhang Yi began to glow with silver light.
42
She floated higher and higher, up, up, up into the night sky, until she reached the moon.
43
Hu Yi rushed home, just in time to see his beloved wife.
44
Shining brightly above, he reached out, but she was too far away.
45
From that day on, Zhang Yi became the moon goddess, living on the moon and watching over the earth.
46
Hu Yi was very sad because he missed his wife Zhang Yi.
47
So, every year, when the moon is the brightest, He puts her favorite foods,
48
fresh fruits, and sweet mooncakes on the table to show how much he still loves her.
49
Families saw this and followed his example.
50
And so, year after year, the Mid -Dawdum Festival.
51
The mooncake festival became a time for family, a time for love, and a time for reunion.
52
Even today, families gather together,
53
share mooncakes, light lanterns, and admire the glowing full moon in the night sky.
54
I wish everyone Happy Mid -Autumn Festival!
55
And also, Happy Mooncake Festival!

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。
