跟读练习: used to's - 通过视频学习英语口语

I'm not an early riser

But that doesn't come as a surprise I watch from beneath the stage How'd it turn out this way?

Widing me inside of my cheek I wish that you'd just look at me And I'm too scared to move on

If I do what's left to rely on Lay me on your shoulder Envy is all that I have

You can't keep your composure I didn't know you wanted that bad I hope that you're having a good time

Well, I'd die to be you,

oh, I'd die to be you On the high that used to be mine Carry the weight of used to's,

the weight of used to's Could've been a star at 15 But I lost it all on any gold trip

Oh, how far I've fallen But was I ever better than this?

Lay me on your shoulder Envy is all that I have You can't keep your composure

I didn't know you wanted it that bad It could have been different,

but it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't The posture get lighter, but it doesn't, it doesn't,

it doesn't I can't change who I was I didn't want it enough, I know, I know, I know Oh,

I know, I know, I know I hope that you're having a good time Why I'd die to be you?

Oh, I'd die to be you On the high that used to be mine Carry the weight I used to

The way I feel to I hope that you're having a good time Riding the high

It used to be mine It used to be mine It used to be mine Thank you.

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。
