This is the end of Lesson Two.

练习的不错，先坚持练习完第十二册你对英语就有信心了。
练习时注意一下几点：
1、高级篇句子很长，要有能够连续增加3-5个韵律的节奏的能力，由于声声入耳，所以听完一个特别长的句子，也能压码回想出来，并压码下沉到音节，而不是浮在上面。
2、语音下沉到音节了，你对应到文本上面，就感觉到了变音的自然现象，无非就是单词和上面一个字母拼读形成的，而不是什么读音规则的作用。记住了完整句子的读音和文本，也就理解了。
3、整理完文本，听看、看听、看看、听听。。。一篇文章各进行一、二遍练习，语音印证到文本，文本印证到语音，进行反复检验4遍，基本课文的内容就适于你自己了，大约就是一、二个小时左右，就大大提高了练习效率。
4、看文本时候要注意两个句子的对应关系的单词变换，对于特别长的句子要有连续不停变换的能力，记住这些变换的单词，就能学会复杂的任意句子变换的应用。在听语音的时候自己进行造句练习，就实现了连续压码记忆系列长句子的能力。
5、学会通过每个句子去提前造句回想，然后再听语音进行检验、修正，就能融化很多句子到很少句子的感觉。造句理解就象将雪融化一样，压码记忆了，句子群就在大脑结冰固化了，这样一篇文章理解记忆的雪球就会滚越大。
6、一天不要太疲劳，保持最佳的状态、兴趣，坚持到底练习完这一册。
