爱英语 使用说明书

1 练习口语
口语是说出来的，跟读模仿是最行之有效的方法之一

剧集中的对话都是生活常用语，是练习口语最好
的材料。通过这种跟读模仿，既能了解美国文化（习
语表达与文化背景）， 又能熟悉语音语调，又有语言
环境（剧集的上下文语境），而且模仿你喜欢的角色非
但不会使你对学习产生厌烦感，反而会让你越来越感
兴趣。需要注意的是，跟读模仿要大声放纵的朗读，
要放得开（当然，对内敛型的学习者来说，按自己的
方式模仿未尝不可）。跟读或者模仿时遇到到不会的单词凭印象或感觉先读出来，
不要停下来研究这样影响练习口语的连贯性。
操作说明：爱酷所有美剧，电影上面都有视频，下面有中英文对照剧本，打开视
频主要是听，然后大声模仿跟读下面剧本

2 练习听力
听力无他法，多听就是王道。需要注意的是听力最好
不戴耳机听，这样可以长时间地练习，并保证用耳健
康。

操作说明：通过单页上面视频， 练习听力。 听到不
懂的地方， 暂停， 用ctrl+f 网页搜索（有的浏览器是
在左上角显示搜索栏） 在剧本中查找你刚才听到的或
者看到的句子或者单词，找到相关词汇解析的解释 或
者 中文译文。

3 想每天积累一些英语的朋友

可以每天上 网，
听一首英文歌 ，
看一集小漫画 。
积跬步，积小流 ，
功在不舍。

4 想过四级的朋友

网站所有词汇解析，都是以四级以下单
词为起点的，四级单词是重点，所以欢迎大家把大块
时间“浪费”在我们网站上。
