一，基本词组：



Lesson five.
Now we’re going to ..
compare three ..
or more things.
But this time ..
we’re going to ..
use longer adjectives,
adjectives ..
that have at ..
least three syllables.
The adjectives you hear ..
first are all stressed ..
on the first syllable.
Listen and repeat.
beautiful       
powerful       
Elegant       
practical       
Popular

The next adectives you hear ..
are all strssed ..
on the second syllable.
Listen and repeat.

with the superlative forn ..
the most.
Listen and repeat.
the most beautiful
the most poweful
the most elegant
the most prcatical
the most popular
the most exciting
the most expensive
the most converient

Now let’s use three words ..
to talk about different things ..
that we think are..
the most …in town.”
For example,
I say . “that’s a beautiful house.”
And you say,
Yes, it’s the most beautiful house in town.
I say . “
that’s a powerful sports car.
And you say,

That’s an exciting job.

You know that shorter adjectives ..
like big and cheap form their superlatives ..
by adding –est ..
at the end:
the biggest,
the cheapest,
the tallest,
the smallest.
So we can say,
“He’s the smartest boy ..
in the calss.”
We can also say,
he’s the most intelligent boy ..
in the class.”
Let’s repeat each ..
of those sentences.
He’s the most smart boy ..
in the class.
He’s the most intelligent boy ..
in the class.

Listen to this talk ..
about three houses:
a small house,
a larger house,
and a very big house.
Notice the adjective.
Do they have –est ..
at the end,
like smartest,
or do they use the most in fornt,
like the most intelligent?
The small house ..
is the most inexpensive ..
of the three.
It’s the smallest,
of course,
but also the most practical to buy.
The larger house ..
is the most convenient.
You can walk downtown ..
in the shortest time.
It’ also the most comfortable.
The biggest house ..
is the most expensive.
It’s also the most elegant.
It’s in the safest neihborhood.
It’s not the most popular ..
because it isn’t as economical ..
as the other too.
But it is the most beautiful.

Now repeat each sentence ..
after you listen to it again.
The small house..
is the most inexpensive o
f the three.

the most expensive .
It’s also the most elegant.
It’s in the safest neighborhood.
It’s not the most popular ..
because it isn’t as economical ..
as the other two.
But it is the most beautiful.

Now let's see ..
if you know ..
which adjectives ..
take -est
at the end ..
and which use ..
the most in front. 
You be the car dealer,
talking about ..
the new cars ..
in your lot.
When I say,
"Is this car . . . ?"
then a long adjective,
like ----. popular,
you say,
"This car is the most popular ..
on our lot."
Of course if ..
I use a short adjective,
like nice,
you say,
"This car is the nicest ..
on our lot."
Ready? Let's begin.

Listen to this talk ..
by a woman selling TVs ..
and VCRs.
Are you looking ..
for a new TV ..
or a new VCR?
You can count ..
on video King ..
for the best prices ..
in  town.
We have hundreds ..
of great new TV s ..
and VCRs,
and we're waiting ..
to make a deal.
If you want a new TV ..
or a new VCR ..
at a low price,
come on over to Video King ..
on Main Street.
At Video King,
you don't have ..
to pay through the nose.

Now you be the salesperson selling TV s ..
and VCRs.
Try to make ...
your voice sound like ..
the  salesperson's voice.
Listen again and repeat.
Are you looking ..
for a new TV ..
or a new VCR?

If you want a new TV ..

To end this lesson,
let's practice answering the question ..
"Which do you like best?"
I name three things,
for example,
the colors red, blue, and green.
Then I ask you,
"Which do you like best?"
And you say:
I like red best.
Or:
I like blue best.
Or:
I like green best.
There is no right answer ..
or wrong answer ..
to the question,
"Which do you like best?" 
because you're giving your opinion.
Ready? Let's go.
Which do you like best,
a station wagon,
a sports car,
or a luxury car?
You do?

This is the end of Lesson Five.

no1vitas基础虽然不太高，但是慢功出细活，练习的很扎实。

人的性格决定你的成长高度。孙老师有勤耕不辍，不抛弃不放弃的可贵顽强精神，所以孙老师能取得巨大成功一点也不奇怪。
而我，我也了解自己，就喜欢在最关键的地方当逃兵。小时候老师就说我，如果我能把从聪明劲用在学习上，考上重点高中不成问题，但是谁都看得出来，我是个没有耐心，怕吃苦的人。老师上课讲解内容通常我接受是最快的，而课后枯燥的作业又是我难以安心完成的。所以，课上提问我回答最踊跃，而考试时我就萎靡了，因为我缺乏大量重复性练习。
现在我非常清楚我的压码练习到达了顶峰，也就是最关键的时候了，也是最痛苦的时候了，而我偏偏在这时候就不由自主玩玩电脑，看看网页娱乐八卦那些，每一课练习到这个时候我就跑了，把难担的担子放到第二天。
到底是练习的哪个时候呢？为什么我会跑？
第一步整理文本我做了这么久，可轻松要求自己听一遍理出基本词组，再听一遍整理好基本场景，就是听2遍整理文本完成。

这时候就应该看整理好的文本听着语音用力压码，眼睛专注盯着文本，而这时候也是比较累的，而我就容易在这时候心神不宁，很容易当逃兵。课文容易一点，我能坚持在当天完成一课，而那一课偏难的话，我就像小耗子一样不知不觉就把时间溜掉，等着第二天再压码听音，压码回想。

这情景就像我当年上学时一样，如果当时就克服了，我现在绝对不一样。而现在我又遇到和当年的情况一样了，就看我能不能克服了，克服了，我的明天也绝对不一样。

我很清楚，只要像整理文本一样熟练的压码听音做好，回想做好，那么，我将上升到一个非常拔尖的高度。其实这一天也不需要多久，只要把方法熟练轻松掌握了，自由吸收英语就可以实现。
