7. Here is a graph that shows our market shares in different regions of the country.
52
You can see that one of our regions occupies a very small market share.
53
This problem stands out since the other three regions are doing a lot better this year.
54
I am so sorry to announce this, but we have finally decided to close down the operations in the region where sales are much lower than the other regions.
55
This decision was inevitable due to the increase in labor costs and the increased competition in the market.
56
For those of you who have been working in this region, we will make every effort to minimize the damage that could possibly happen to you.
57

60
As we all know, he started his medical career here
61
and had been working as the director of the Organ Donation Center for 10 years.
62
Now that he is stepping down, he is planning to continue his career by teaching students at the Seattle Medical School.

Thank you.

为何这个视频是绝佳的英语口语练习素材?

这段视频包含了6段真实场景对话,从戏剧开场通知、公交广播到职场会议,覆盖生活、工作、娱乐等多个场景,语言简洁实用,非常适合用来练习英语口语和影子跟读。对话中的表达贴近日常,语速适中,能帮助学习者快速掌握地道的英语发音和语调,轻松实现“学以致用”的快速进步。

拆解地道表达,掌握自然发音

我们来看看其中几个超实用的句子:

  • “The show will take about two and a half hours and there will be an intermission.” 这句话中的“two and a half hours”连读自然,“intermission”的重音位置准确,通过影子跟读(shadowspeak)练习,能快速提升连读和重音的把控能力。
  • “Therefore, it will take an extra 30 minutes to get to our destination.” 句中“therefore”的弱读的发音,以及“extra 30 minutes”的流畅衔接,是 native speaker 常用的表达习惯,模仿时注意语调的自然下降。
  • “management has decided to give you a bonus this month.” “bonus”一词的发音清晰有力,整句的节奏明快,体现出职场沟通中的干练,练习时可重点关注语气的拿捏。

简单高效的影子跟读练习法

利用这个视频进行英语影子跟读,只需三步:听→跟→录。首先,完整听一遍对话,注意整体节奏;然后,逐句跟读,尽量同步开口,模仿发音、语调和连读;最后,录制自己的跟读音频,对比原音找差距。每天坚持15分钟,一周就能明显感受到英语发音的进步。比如练习公交广播那段,重复5遍后,你会发现“traffic congestion”这样的词组也能说得自然流畅。

赶紧行动起来吧!通过影子跟读(shadow speak),让你的英语口语越说越地道!

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。
