试着注意了一下/ou/这个音,但是效果似乎还不到火候。要继续努力。谢谢大家听我读,提出反馈。
昨天去了Toaster master,才发现美国人为了提高表达能力,也是专门练过的。很多人已经讲得很好了,还去练习,这其中包括年轻人,中年人,还有白头老头老太。
Toaster master提倡table talk方法练习讲话技巧,就是就一个主题做一到两分钟的即兴讲话。这种方法不错。任何事情要做好,都是要练习的,天才毕竟是小概率事件。

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
