BOOK THREE LESSON SIX
Smoking section与non-smoking section段：慢速听，利用神奇变速器上的设置，慢速40%英语的速度，并且把“起始”和“结束”置在这一段上重复播放。这一段听时，尽力模仿。全神专心去压码听懂练习，不同时做其他事情。直到自己听熟。然后，再写这段文字记录下自己的做法。感觉和自己的理解不同音的地方，还有略读的地方，加上自己的注音符号：at the、studio in、watch it。“OW”有两个读音，follow和down 读音是不同的。

pronunciation practice段：这一册的发音练习加强。为什么这样设置？好像听到这一册，会发现许多地方的读音，和原来听的有了差别。所以是纠正发音的大好时机。这里主要练习，是过去时加“ed”读音为/t/的几个单词。这一段时间到3分18秒。
