1
Okay, bread, milk, apples... this should be quick.
2
Wait, what? Unexpected item in the bagging area?
3
Ugh, I've only put my own bag down!
4
Hello there! Having a bit of trouble with the machine?
5
Yes, it keeps beeping every time I put something down.
6
Don't worry, it happens to everyone at least once a day.
7
Have you put your rucksack in the bagging area?
8
Oh... yes, I have. Is that the problem?
9
That's it. The machine thinks your bag is shopping.
10
Just take it off, and I'll reset it for you.
11
Right, sorry. I feel a bit silly now.
12
Not at all! Go ahead and carry on scanning.
13
And now it's flashing again! What have I done this time?
14
Ah, that's just the wine. I need to check your age.
15
My age? Seriously? I'm thirty-four years old!
16
Sorry, it's the rules. Could I see some ID, please?
17
Hang on, where's my wallet? Oh no, not in the car...
18
Oh, here it is, under the apples. Phew!
19
Thanks. Oh, nice photo! You had much longer hair then.
20
Um, please don't look too closely at that photo.
21
Honestly, you should take it as a compliment.
22
If you look under twenty-five, we have to ask.
23
Well, in that case, you've made my day!
24
Right, all done. I'll just pay by card.
25
Oh, you're joking! It's beeping again!
26
Wait... oh dear. That's my fault this time.
27
I've been leaning on the bagging area!
28
Ha! So it's not just me, then!
29
Definitely not. These machines don't like anybody.
30
If you're ever stuck again, just wave at me.
31
Thanks so much. You've been really helpful.
32
Next time, I'm keeping my bag on my back!
33
Good plan! Have a lovely afternoon.

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。
