Hi, I'm John, and I want to help you learn English. 这里有纯正又充满磁性的美音,这里有多样化的学习素材,这里有超过 19 万充满激情的英语学习者。关注清晨朗读会,让我们共同向梦想前进!
今天的练习内容来自 The Globe and Mail 的 First Person 栏目,标题是 I’m thickening around the middle. But I’ve lived long enough to be okay with that。今天的故事相信很多朋友都有同感。作者年过六十,不再有纤细的腰围。一方面觉得软软的肚子手感不错,另一方面,穿不上原来的裤子,心里还是有些不舒服。Have fun!

I’m thickening around the middle. But I’ve lived long enough to be okay with that
I have lost my waist. It has been slowly disappearing through menopause, the pull of gravity on a 62-year-old body and the fact I am no longer a workout junkie.It has been replaced by a soft Buddha belly that rests overtop the shelf made by my low-waisted pants. It becomes a jelly roll when I bend over. It is uncomfortable. It gets in the way. My feelings about it are mixed.I do like the softness and roundness of it. I find myself touching it, cupping my hands over it. That feels comforting. However, it is uncomfortable when I try and do up my pants. It gets cut off by the waistband reminding me I don’t have the figure to wear low-waisted jeans any more.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/first-person/article-im-thickening-around-the-middle-but-ive-lived-long-enough-to-be-okay/

这里就是清晨朗读会。我每天早上6点左右发送可以模仿和朗读的材料,包括语音和文本。希望我们能够每天一起练习。
如何使用此练习材料
较理想的状态
先听一遍我读的语音(最好第一遍不看原文)
再听一遍,这次跟着模仿(听不懂你模仿的没关系,跟不上也没关系,就尽量模仿你听到的音!)
朗读一遍原文
这个时候才花点时间查不懂的内容(但查询的时间不要超过总练习时间的三分之一!)
1-3步骤再重复2-3遍
发到朋友圈里,告诉朋友你今天练了英语!(对我来讲,日常的转发与分享是最大的支持和帮助,提前感谢!)
起码要达到的状态
听一遍
跟着模仿一遍
朗读一遍
