在这一课里, 我们学习以 t-i-o- n 结尾的名词. 比方 education, introduction, production 等等. 我们还要学习以 a-l 结尾的形容词, 比方 national, emotional, historical 等等.
首先我们还是听两位英文老师念一段对话,内容是说彼得和玛丽谈起了有一出 歌舞剧在纽约上演轰动一时的事情.请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.
F: Peter, listen to the lyrics of this song.
M: What's so special about this song?
F: It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now. Do you like it?
M: Not very much. It sounds too emotional to me.
F: That's why it is so popular. It was recorded by Barbara Martin. I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night, she created quite a sensation.
M: I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.
F: Well then, you need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical production. Why don't you take me?
M: I have a better idea. Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.
