走遍美国学习方法

具体先听一遍或者几遍，5-8秒为短句细听，尽量听懂.若遇到听不懂的再看原文，前提是不懂。可以采取听写的形式，尽量用自己的拼写方式去写英文单词，在修正。 把整个Act听完大概知道其意义，就看原文对照，错误总结和分类，可以包括语音、语法、拼写、增漏。 跟读，对照书本。 然后能自然流畅的说出。 可以自己模拟场景，就象走遍美国一样。 场景化是走遍美国的特色～～ 译背，就是在跟读边跟背这样在听不懂的词或者句子，对照原文来梳理更记忆深刻。 看翻译文本，把重点词句和好动词，好句，句型用法，自己归纳。只限于一个Act 朗读课文，追求流利。完结于一课就是2个或3个Act。 注意色彩的运用。红色是没听懂的，粉色是需记忆的。灰色是语法类的见解。带星号是重点或红粉色的都有的成分。 个人经验告诉你怎么听。你坚持上至少6个星期，然后看看自己的进步有多大。 首先一个星期的安排。2天慢速1天常速1天慢速2天常速复习 光听没用 做听写。拿一个正式的本子。上面的安排是让听写的用的 4分钟左右的听力材料。不要太难。 慢速的方法：第一遍从头到尾听一次。第二遍开始，听一句暂停一句，不管多长。然后写下来。一开始可能只能写下四五个词，没关系，空着。听第二句。写下来可能惨不忍睹，没关系，全写完以后，从头到尾再听第三遍，还是一句一句听。这次能补上好多了。大概听到第4次，不要听了，对照文稿往上补。然后查词。最后不要看稿子听一次，如果还有没懂的，听到懂为止。 常速的方法：第一遍从头到尾听一次。第二遍再听一次，把上次没听懂的地方使劲听。然后做听写，跟慢速的方法一样。开始写的结果绝对会惨不忍睹，慢慢坚持就好了了.我一开始做听写的时候觉得挺没用的，而且浪费时间，一篇常速我得听二十几遍。慢速的因为句子长也是快二十遍。五分钟的材料我得用差不多两个小时才能弄完。后来才过了三个星期，就发现这个方法绝对是相当牛逼。我现在练习了一年了，我现在做一篇大概只需要不到半个小时。都不用专门记单词，单词自然背下来了。你试上3各月，基本所有的VOA都能听懂95%以上 这上面是一部分。是精听 还有一部分。一定要做 每天拿出来一点时间，听2个材料就好，慢速常速看你的水平，听的时候别太在意内容。第一次听就跟着shadowing 具体你可以百度一下什么叫“影子跟读”，做个1次或者2次就行了，这个见效慢，但是很有用。一个能培养语感，一个能加强听的能力和写的能力这个是辅助精听的 方法在这了看你自己做不做了

ACT 2-1 “那么说我已经解决了你的问题了。” 【故事梗概】 Susan想请自己的老板John Marchetta帮忙，为Grandpa找点事做。她叫来了自己的助手Sam“商量”这个想法是否可行。 Susan: Sam, would you come in, please? Sam: You sound like something's bothering you, Susan. The sketches for the cover of the new doll book? Susan: That's not it. Please sit down. Sam: Sure. Susan: I need your advice on a personal matter, but it's not about me. Sam: You need my advice on a personal matter, and it's not about you. OK. Susan: It's about my grandfather. Sam: What's the problem? Susan: It won't sound like a big deal, but it is. I had dinner with him Saturday, and he's very unhappy about not working. Sam: I thought he was retired and pleased to be living with the family. Susan: He is, but there's so much energy and talent in the man, and he doesn't get to use it. Sam: But what can I do? What kind of advice are you looking for? Susan: Simply this. John Marchetta runs this company. Sam: He founded this company. Susan: Right. John Marchetta gave me my start here six years ago, when I first graduated from college. He gave me the chance to use my talents and made me feel more confident. Sam: Right. Maybe he can do the same thing for your grandfather. Susan: Or at least give him some advice. Sam: Right. Then I’ve solved you problem. Susan: I can always depend on you, Sam. Sam: I'm glad to help. Shall I call Mr. Marchetta for you? Susan: No, no. I'll do that. Thanks.

走遍美国简介

具有的特点： 第一： 它结合了文字、录音、录像、实景、卡通、广播、电视、光碟，是有史以来第一套高水平的多媒体（multimedia）美语教材。 第二： 不同中于一般所谓“情景对话”的教材。《走遍美国》（Family Album, U.S.A.）是以“电视影集”的形式呈现的。这种形式，原出版者美国麦克米伦公司（Maxwell Macmillan International Publishing Group），在美国新闻总署（U.S. Information Agency）协助之下，对全世界105个国家的英语教学者广泛咨询之后才决定的。这105个国家的近万英语老师和他们的学生一致认为电视剧情节感人，最能吸引学习者的兴趣。因此，麦克米伦公司和它的数十位专家们，就把这套教材编成26集的电视连续剧，每集分三幕，组成一个完整的故事，而一集与一集之间，又能脉络一贯。故事围绕着一个典型的美国家庭四代人生活展开，具有常有的人情味，依永的幽默感。 第三： 《走遍美国》（Family Album, U.S.A.）电视影集，代表了极高的制作水平。它的编剧兼导演William Greeves，以及动画制作群英会Dovetail Group, 都曾几度获电视界最高荣誉的艾美奖（Emmy Awards）。它的演员都是优秀的专业演员，美语发音清晰，体态语言丰富，和常见的一些粗糙作品不可同日而语。 第四： 这套教材，是以快速增进听说能力为主要目标，但也同时兼顾了语法、阅读和写作能力的全面培养。它把语法教学巧妙地结合在“学习焦点”（Focus in）一节中，用轻松的歌谣、说唱、卡通、游戏等方式，使原本枯燥的语法学习，变得活泼有趣，达到寓教于乐的效果。 第五： 这套教材，使用了典型的美式英语。由于故事的角色涵盖了祖孙四代，因此，读者可以熟悉属于不同年龄层次的美国口语，这也是一般英语教材罕见的优点。另外，值得一提的是剧中人物有意地使用正常的语速（Normal speed）说话，一方面让学习者习惯并模仿实际场合的正常语言，以使学以致用；另外一方面，更重要的，是让学习者充分体会美语口语中常用的缩短（Contractions）和弱化（Reductions）形式，养成听美语的正确习惯。 第六：

Can you help me? 当我们向别人寻求帮助时，可以说Excuse me. Can you help me?（劳驾，可以帮个忙吗？） 本文中的officer，是指police officer，即警官。 2. Can you tell me how to get to Linden Street, in Riverdale? "Can you tell me how to get to ...? "可以用来向别人问路，意思是“您能告诉我怎么才能到达某某地点吗？” 3. 46 Linden Street, Riverdale, New York. 这是一般地址的说法。地点由小到大排列。
