精听建议:
先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。
下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?
(参考文本,欢迎指正^^)
Lesson55 An Amateur Artist
When Sebastian was at school, his favourite lesson was art, and he won several prizes because he was so good at 1 .
Once he left school, he got a position as a clerk in a bank, but 2 he went to evening classes in art, and whenever he had time at the weekends, he painted.
After a few months he thought, "Perhaps I can sell some of my pictures and get enough money to leave the bank and become a real artist because I don"t like life at the bank. I only enjoy painting."
In the bank, Sebastian sometimes had to 3 a man who owned a picture shop. Sebastian invited him to his home one evening to see some of his work. Sebastian took the man to his studio and started to show him some of his pictures, with some 4 .
The man looked at them one after another while Sebastian watched his face, but to Sebastian's disappointment the man did not say anything, and his expression did not change at any of them either.
Then, when he had finished, he looked around, and his 5 fell on something else. A happy look came over his face for the first time, and he said, "Now I like this one very much! It's so full of deep feeling! I"m sure I could sell this one for you!"
"That," said Sebastian "is the place where I clean the paint off my brushes."
