Now listen to this conversation..
between a customer ..
and a salesperson ..
in a store.
This sweater looks a little small.
Do you have anything larger?
No, that's the largest sweater we have.   
First, play the part of the salesperson.
You hear the  customer say ..
something like,
"This sweater looks a little small.
Do you have anything larger?"
And you say,
"No, that's the largest sweater we have."
Use the same noun ..
and adjective you hear ..
the customer use. Ready?
Let's begin.
This sweater looks a little small.

Now this time, you be the  customer.
When you hear the  name of..
something you can buy..
in a store and ..
an adjective,
you make two sentences.
For example,
you hear, "Hat. . .  small."

Those are the bigge&tie eyes.
She's six months now.
Isn't that the nicest smile?
She's such a happy baby . . .
and so  quiet.
I hated to go back to work.
That must be the  hardest thing about..
being a parent.
Leaving  them.
Even for a minute.
I miss her during the day.
She's the most  beautiful baby.
You  must be the proudest  mother ..
in Stamford.

Now repeat the dialogue.
When you do,
notice all the superlatives:
the cutest baby,
the biggest eyes,
the nicest smile,
and so on.
Ready? Let's begin.

about being a parent.
Leaving them.
Even for a minute.
I miss her during the  day.
She's the most  beautiful baby.
You must be the proudest mother ..
in Stamford.

Now to finish the lesson,
let's imagine that ..
you're looking at..
pictures of someone's baby.
The person holding the pictures says,
"Isn't that a cute baby?"
And you say,
"It's the cutest baby I've ever seen."

The most wonderful baby picture you've ever seen?
You should be careful,
because if you use too many superlatives
- the most, the biggest, the best -
people are going to think you're exaggerating!
And what does exaggerate mean?
I'm going to spell it,
and you look it up in your Study Guide.
Exaggerate.   
E - x - a - g - g - e - r - a - t - e.
Now you know ..
why I said that if  you use ..
too many superlatives,
people are going to think that..
you exaggerate.   
This is the end of Lesson Six.

一，基本词组：


Lesson Six.
Here we are at the WEFL studio ..
in Stamford.
Listen to the conversation.
Well, I watched the tape.
I didn't see a man smoking.
Can we watch it together?
Sure. See?
The woman walked into the restaurant.
She talked to the waiter...
She asked for the non-smoking section ...
Then she followed the waiter to a table ...
Then she sat down and looked at the menu.

Now some pronunciation practice.
Listen and repeat.
I watched　
I watched the tape.
the woman walked
The woman walked into the restaurant.
she talked
She talked to the waiter.
she asked
for the non-smoking section
She asked for the non-smoking section.
then she looked
Then she looked at the menu.

Note, Sam,
that in the past tense ..
all these verbs
- look, walk, talk, and watch -
are pronounced
with a T sound at the end,
/t/, as in walked.
We watch a lot of TV every day.
We watched a lot of TV yesterday.
Look in the past tense is looked.
I look at the newspaper every night.
I looked at the newspaper last night.

The same for walk and talk.
You talk a lot.
You talked a lot last night.

In fact, when a regular verb ends..
with CH as in watch ..
or with the K sound as in walk, talk, and look,
you add a T sound at the end ..
to make the past tense.
Listen and repeat.
We watch a lot of TV.
We watched a lot of TV.
I look at the newspaper.
I looked at the newspaper.

Now, Sam, let's practice.
I say,  "We watch a lot of TV every day."
And you say. . .
We watched a lot of TV yesterday.
I say, "I look at the newspaper every night."
And you say. . .
I looked at the newspaper last night.
Ready? Let's go.
We watch a lot of TV every day.
We watched a lot of TV yesterday.
I look at the newspaper every night.
I looked at the newspaper last night.
She walks to the supermarket every day.
She walked to the supermarket yesterday.
You ask a lot of questions every night.
You asked a lot of questions last night.
It looks OK today.
It looked OK yesterday.

Good, Sam!
This rule about the T sound ..
is also true ..
for regular verbs ending with..
the S sound as ..
in miss and kiss.
I miss him.
I missed him yesterday.

For regular verbs ..
ending with ..
the P sound ..
as in stop . . .
We usually stop in Washington.
But last week we stopped in New York.

And for regular verbs ending with the..
F sound as in laugh. . .
He always laughs at everything.
Last night he laughed at nothing.

So, to make the past tense,
we add the T sound to regular verbs ..
ending with CH as in…
Watch;
Ending with the K sound as in…
Look, talk, and walk;
Ending with the S sound as in …
Miss and kiss;
Ending with the P sound as in…
Stop;
And ending with the F sound as in…
Laugh.

Remember, Sam,
this rule works ..
for regular verbs,
not irregular verbs.
Now let's do an exercise.
I say, He laughs a lot."
And you say. ..
He laughed a lot.
OK, I really want to hear ..
that T sound. Ready?
Let's begin.
He laughs a lot.
He laughed a lot.
They kiss everybody.
They kissed everybody.
We watch a lot of movies.
We watched a lot of movies.
She stops at the produce section.
She stopped at the produce section.
She asks about the bananas.
She asked about the bananas.
They look a little too ripe.
They looked a little too ripe.
She laughs at the price.
She laughed at the price.

Good, Sam.
That wasn't difficult, was it?
Now listen to the conversation.
Then a man started to smoke.
The woman pointed ..
to the non-smoking sign ..
and asked him to ..
put out the cigarette.
No, she didn't.
Can you play the tape again, please?

Now some pronunciation practice.
Listen and repeat.
started   
then a man started
Then a man started to smoke.
Pointed 
the woman pointed
The woman pointed to the non- smoking sign.

Note, Sam,
that the past tense ..
of start ..
is started.
You add an extra syllable:
start, started.
A man started to smoke.
And that the past tense of ..
point is pointed.
You add an extra syllable:
point, pointed.
The woman pointed to the non- smoking sign.
Regular verbs ending ..
with a T sound like point..
and start in the past tense are ..
pointed and started.
The same is true for regular verbs ..
ending with a ..
D sound like add and end.
These verbs are pronounced with..
an ID sound a..
t the end ..
as in added and ended.
Listen to the conversation.
Did you talk to Mike?
No. I don't know where he is.
Now, what can I do?
Don't worry.
I talked to him ..
and I fixed the tape.
I added the part with..
the man  smoking.

The verb add in the past tense is added. 
I added the part ..
with the man smoking. 

Let's practice some of these verbs ..
ending with the T sound ..
or the D sound.
I say, "The woman points to the sign."
And you say…
The woman pointed to the sign.
OK? Let's go.
The woman points to the sign.
The woman pointed to the sign.
I add the part with the man smoking.

Very good, Sam.
The rest of the regular verbs ..
in the past tense,
For example:
follow and show,
pronounced with a D sound ..
at  the end,
/d/, as in followed
and showed.
She followed the waiter.
I showed a man smoking.

Now here's a story.
We tell the story ..
in the present tense.
But you, Sam,
tell the story ..
in the past  tense.
I say, "Sophia Loren walks ..
into a restaurant."
And you say….
Sophia Loren walked ..
into a restaurant.
I say, "The waiter shows her to a table."
And you say….

1.情景：

Lesson Six. Here we are at the WEFL studio in Stamford. Listen to the conversation.
Well, I watched the tape.
I didn't see a man smoking.
Can we watch it together?
Sure. See?
The woman walked into the restaurant. She talked to the waiter...She asked for the non-smoking section ...Then she followed the waiter to a table ... Then she sat down and looked at the menu.

then she looked
Then she looked at the menu.

3.引导学习：

Note, Sam, that in the past tense all these verbs - look, walk, talk, and watch - are pronounced
with a T sound at the end,/t/, as in walked.
We watch a lot of TV every day.—— We watched a lot of TV yesterday.
Look in the past tense is looked.
I look at the newspaper every night.—— I looked at the newspaper last night.
The same for walk and talk.
You talk a lot.—— You talked a lot  last night.

In fact, when a regular verb ends with CH as in watch or with the K sound as in walk, talk, and look,
you add a T sound at the end to make the past tense.Listen and repeat.
We watch a lot of TV.——We watched a lot of TV.
I look at the newspaper.—— I looked at the newspaper.

4.练习：

Now, Sam, let's practice. I say,  "We watch a lot of TV every day."And you say. . .We watched a lot of TV yesterday.I say, "I look at the newspaper every night." And you say. . .I looked at the newspaper
last night.Ready? Let's go.
We watch a lot of TV every day.—— We watched a lot of TV yesterday.

Good, Sam! This rule about the T sound is also true for regular verbs ending with  the S sound as
in miss and kiss.

For regular verbs ending with the P sound as in stop . . .
We usually stop in Washington.—— But last week we stopped in New York.
And for regular verbs ending with the F sound as in laugh. . .
He always laughs at everything. —— Last night he laughed at nothing.

So, to make the past tense, we add the T sound to regular verbs ending with CH as in…Watch;
Ending with the K sound as in…Look, talk, and walk;
Ending with the S sound as in …Miss and kiss;
Ending with the P sound as in…stop;
And ending with the F sound as in…Laugh.

This is the end of Lesson Eight

一点体会：刚刚整理上面那篇文章有点累了，又想待会再看文本听语音压码学习。
用25%慢速，整理文本很轻松，可做到听2遍整理完毕并理解90%以上的意思。

我有点能意会老师的“大脑反应图像”是什么意思：图像就是脑子里闪现电脑上打印字体的一排排随着语音流走，而并不是我们在心里苦苦思索用指头在脑子里划写。因为后者效率慢。

“滞后一句心中压码”的意思：并不是我们跟着那一句心里默读一遍，如果默读一遍就是在听我自己的声音，有所跑调了。正确的是脑子里回响磁带的声音，那才是正宗美语，控制自己不要听自己的默念。哎哟，这个发现可真要细心呢！

当然，这2点理解了容易，形成习惯就比较难。不断练习才能使自己感到自如，轻松。
不知这样理解有没有错误？请老师指正。

一，基本词组：


Lesson Nine.
Listen and repeat.
calm   
as calm as
not as calm as
nervous
as nervous as
Not as nervous as

listen to this conversation ..
between two people,
one who is calm and ..
one who is nervous…
very nervous.
Please, Jane.
Tell me your secreat!     
My secreat?
What secret?
Jack, what are you talking about?
Tell me why you’re always calm.
I’m never calm.
But someday I hope..
to be as calm as you are.       
As calm as I am?
Dh, Jack,
I'm not as calm as..
a lot of people.
And sometimes I get very nervous.
You nervous?
Well, you're not as nervous as ..
I am now.
And you're never as nervous as I am,
all the time.
Oh, Jack. Really!

Now say if these sentences ..
are true or false.
If the sentence is false,
give the correct answer. 
Jack thinks..
Jane is very nervous.
False.
Jack thinks Jane is very calm.
Someday he hopes ..
to be as nervous as she is.
False.
Someday he hopes to ..
be as calm as she is.
Jane says ..
she is not as calm as..
some people.
True.
She says sometimes ..
she gets very calm.
False.
She says sometimes ..
she gets very nervous.
Jack says,
"You're not as calm ..
as I am now."
False.
Jack says, "You're not as nervous as ..
I am now."
He says ..
Jane is never as nervous as he is,
all the time.
True.

Now, do you remember ..
the difference between ..
the question word ..
whose,
spelled
w-h-o-s-e,
and the question word
who's,
spelled w-h-o
apostrophes?
They both have the ..
same pronunciation,
whose - who's,
but the spelling is different.
Also, w-h-o-s-e is used ..
in front of a noun,
like whose book or ..
whose initials.
W-h-o apostrophe-s means
"who is."
Who's the boss?
means "Who is the boss?"
Now you're going to hear ..
some sentences ..
which start with ..
either w-h-o-s-e ..
or w-h-o apostrophe s.
After each question,
spell the question word.
Then you will..
hear the correct spelling.
For example,
you hear,
"Who's the reporter in 'Murder at Midnight'?"
And you say:
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Then you will hear the correct spelling:
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Ready? Let's begin.

Who's the reporter in "Murder at Midnight"?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Whose baby is six months old?
W-h-o-s-e.   
Whose apartment is on Eighth Street?   
W-h-o-s-e.   
Who's the star of "Murder at Midnight"?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Who's going to Stamford tomorrow?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Whose hair is very short?
W-h-o-s-e.   
Did you notice that ..
when you  say ..
some sentences,
your voice goes down ..
at the end?
This is called..
"falling intonation."
For example,
at the end of a statement:   
Maybe he went home.
Or at the end ..
of a question that..
you can't answer with..
only "Yes" or "No":   
Whose is it?
But when you can answer a  question..
with "Yes" or "No,"
the  voice goes up ..
at the end.
This is called
"rising intonation."
For  example:   
Is anyone here?
Listen and repeat ..
the following sentences.
Imitate the voice you hear.
If it goes up at the end,
make your voice go up.
If the voice you hear goes down,
make your voice go down.
Ready? Let's begin.
Oh, hi.  How are you this morning?
I'm fine. How are you?
By the way,
is this script yours?
No. It isn't mine.
Then whose is it?
It has coffee on it.
It's probably Charles's.
Yes, you're right.

Now listen to another dialogue.
Just listen.
Tell me something,
Mary Beth. Was Jeff  late again ..
for rehearsal?
No, he wasn't.
By the way, Rita,
what's your reaction to Jeff?
Is he too nervous ..
to be a  good actor?
I don't think so.
He's very young.
And very nervous.
He needs more reassurance from..
you older actors.
Rita! Jeff and I are almost..
the same age.
Do I look like ..
I should  be ..
in a museum?

Now listen to this dialogue again.
After each phrase,
there's going to be a pause.
During the pause,
say "Rising"
if the voice you heard went up.
But if the voice you heard went down,
say "Falling."
For example, you hear:
Tell me something,Mary Beth.
And you say:
Falling.   
Ready? Let's begin.
Tell me something,Mary Beth.
Falling.   
Was Jeff late again for rehearsal?
Rising.   
No, he wasn't.
Falling.   
By the way, Rita,
Falling.   
what's your reaction to Jeff?
Falling.   
Is he too nervous to be a good actor?
Rising.   
I don't think so.
Falling.   
He's very young.
Falling.   
And very nervous.
Falling.   
He needs more reassurance from..
you older actors.
Falling.   
Rita!
Falling.   
Jeff and I are almost..
the same age.
Falling.   
Do I look like I should..
be in a museum?
Rising.   

To end this lesson,
listen one more time ..
to that dialogue.
This time,
repeat what you hear.
Follow the intonation ..
of the speaker's voice,
either up or down.
Ready? Begin.
Tell me something,Mary Beth.
Was Jeff late again for rehearsal?
No, he wasn't.
By the way, Rita,
what's your reaction to Jeff?
Is he too nervous ..
to be a good actor?
I don't think so.
He's very young.
And very nervous.
He needs more reassurance
from you older actors.
Rita! Jeff and I are ..
almost the same age.
Do I look like..
I should be in a museum?
And, this, Sam,
is the end of Lesson Nine.

第二部分：who's ---VS--- whose：

1.引导语：

Now, do you remember the difference between the question word whose,spelled w-h-o-s-e,and the question word who's,spelled w-h-o apostrophe s? They both have the same pronunciation, whose - who's,but the spelling is different.Also, w-h-o-s-e is used in front of a noun, like whose book or whose initials. W-h-o apostrophe-s means "who is." Who's the boss?means "Who is the boss?"

2.引导学习：

Now you're going to hear some sentences which start with either w-h-o-s-e or w-h-o apostrophe s.
After each question, spell the question word.Then you will hear the correct spelling. For example,
you hear, "Who's the reporter in 'Murder at Midnight'?" And you say:W-h-o apostrophe s.Then you will hear the correct spelling:W-h-o apostrophe s.Ready? Let's begin.
Who's the reporter in "Murder at Midnight"?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Whose baby is six months old?
W-h-o-s-e.   
Whose apartment is on Eighth Street?   
W-h-o-s-e.   
Who's the star of "Murder at Midnight"?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Who's going to Stamford tomorrow?
W-h-o apostrophe s.
Whose hair is very short?
W-h-o-s-e.   

3.练习：

Did you notice that when you  say some sentences, your voice goes down at the end? This is called"falling intonation." For example, at the end of a statement:Maybe he went home.Or at the end of a question that you can't answer with only "Yes" or "No":  Whose is it?But when you can answer a  question with"Yes"or "No," the  voice goes up at the end.This is called"rising intonation."For example：Is anyone here?Listen and repeat the following sentences. Imitate the voice you hear. If it goes up at the end,make your voice go up. If the voice you hear goes down, make your voice go down.
Ready? Let's begin.
Oh, hi.  How are you this morning?
I'm fine. How are you?
By the way, is this script yours?
No. It isn't mine.
Then whose is it?
It has coffee on it.It's probably Charles's.
Yes, you're right.



第三部分：rising----- VS -----falling

1.情景：

Now listen to another dialogue.Just listen.
Tell me something,Mary Beth. Was Jeff  late again for rehearsal?
No, he wasn't.
By the way, Rita, what's your reaction to Jeff? Is he too nervous to be a  good actor?I don't think so.
He's very young. And very nervous. He needs more reassurance from you older actors.
Rita! Jeff and I are almost the same age.Do I look like I should  be in a museum?

2.引导学习：

Now listen to this dialogue again.After each phrase, there's going to be a pause. During the pause,
say "Rising" if the voice you heard went up. But if the voice you heard went down, say "Falling." For example, you hear:Tell me something,Mary Beth.And you say:Falling. Ready? Let's begin.
Tell me something,Mary Beth.—— Falling.   
Was Jeff late again for rehearsal?—— Rising.   
No, he wasn't. —— Falling.
