最近有一些私事不在本地，虽然也在听但是没有在听写－－，ＢＳ我吧

Campus topic:
第一篇（打工场景）
It seems like only yesterday but(that，it seems like...that...从句结构，当时并未注意句子结构) I was sitting like(where，听错) you are, just finishing my first year __(of) medical school and wandering(wondering，低级拼写错误) if I(I'd，I would?) ever get a chance to use all of(无of，all my books不等于all of my books?)my new knowledge on real life patient.(a real live patient!，怎么能是life...不动脑子)
Well, I have a(无a，单复不分，已听到news)good news for you! You don't have to wait until     forty years(your third or fourth year of)
Medical school to get enhance your experece(some hands-on experience!，这里的hands-on应表示传授的经验，experience为拼写错误) The __(dean，大学院长，听到了但不认识，生词) let(has invited，完全听错) me here to tell you about the university__to oppotunity(university's rural opportunity，所有格没听到，rural听到不认识，opportunity拼写错误) program. If you enrole(enroll，不认识，听音写下的) __(in，应该是连读没听到) this program, you can have a(the，虽然错了但还是觉得用a合适) opportunity this summer, after your first year in(of，不妨碍句子理解，但是听得不精确！) medical school, just bend from forty just 6 weeks absurding and system real possesion(to spend from four to six weeks observing and assisting a real physician，这句完全听糊涂了，to spend听错后面就是一堆什么也没听懂。) like me it's(in a，不知道怎么错的) small rural community. You won't have to compete with other students for tired(time) and attention, and you can see was the life of(what life as，对于从句结构很不敏感) a country doctor is really like.
The program was designed to incorage(encourage，见过，但不知道意思也不会拼) medical students like yourselfs(yourselves，低级错误) to consider careers in community(rural communities，rural没听到，后面复数也未听写) better(that are) still under stuff(understaffed). It seems the(that) medical student(students，后面听到are前面单复数还反应不过来) are afraid to go into the road practice family(rural family practice，rural不懂) for two reasons. First, they don't know much about it. And second, specialy things(specialists) in city(in the cities) usually make more money. But, on the upset(up-side), in __(rural) practice, doctors can really get(get to) know their patients and they respect the number to community(be respected members of the community.)
I participate(participated，时态不对) in this(the) program when it first started and spent six weeks in more rurly town(a small rural town，small听错). Let me tell you, it was really great! I got to worked(work) with real patients. I watch the broth of the child(watched the birth of a child，时态不对，birth处未处理语意), a system accident weekend(assisted an accident victim文中的assist都未听懂，victim本来是听到的，但是犹豫了), and __(had) lots of really practical enhance(hands-on，全文未听懂) experience --- all in one summer. And you might surprise(to my surprise，听到的不精确，虽然语意说的过去), I found __(that) country like has a lot offer city like,doesn't it(country life has a lot to offer that city life doesn't，理解为乡村生活有很多城市生活没有的东西) --- no plution(pollution，没见过) or traffic jams, insprise(for instance，没听懂)!
My experience may be(made me) want to work were(where I'm) need it and appreciate it(needed and appreciated). I don't miss the city at all!

总结：语速上没有感觉太快，吐字比较清楚，基本每个词都能听到。但是意思反应不上来，有一部分是因为单词不熟或不认识，另一部分则从语意上是可以看出来的，但是听写的时候只有语音没有语意。另外一点重要的是对从句很不敏感，从句的连词基本都听错了。

反正听写 练毅力!

今日再补一贴，听写完成后跟读花了两个小时

一开始跟读是跟不上的，从听到句子到反应上来到从嘴里说出来是需要一定熟练度的，所以刚开始跟读搞得我很痛苦，又不能糊弄过去

这里推荐一个方法：就是李阳老师的疯狂英语方法，再说的具体一点就是机械操练法。

用最大的声音，最快的速度，最清晰的语调（李阳老师那里叫“三最口腔肌肉训练法”）训练文章。不要整篇文章的读，那样没效果。要分开，一句一句的练。短句子一句一句的练，长句子一个意群一个意群来练（比如可以把长句拆成主句和从句，不定式等）这样练的话，语感再差，功底再差的朋友每句一两百遍下来，应该可以很容易跟上录音。最开始可能需要念上百上千遍，因为第一口腔肌肉僵化，第二没什么语感，所以会很慢。但是以后应该会很快的。我今天就花了两个小时念一篇－－，不过已经可以跟读了，能跟读的时候再来纠正发音连读等小毛病。

这个方法我就不另开帖了，主要是因为一个是这个方法其实算我引用李阳老师的训练方法。其次其效果如何只是我的推测，目前我正在试验阶段。再次至于是否和听写冲突等副作用我也不知道。

所以只写在这里，仅作参考

第二篇（选课场景）
In the few minutes     remain    class,(that remain of today's class), I'd like to discuss the(无the)next week's schedul(schedule，拼写错误) with you. Because I   paper concentrate on Thusday(I'm presenting a paper at a conference in Detroit on Thursday，听到present但未听清，conference未听懂，Detroit纯粹不知道，Thursday拼错), I won't be here for ever(无此词，和either音错位)either Wensday and Friday's(Wednesday's or Friday's，拼错，并列关系所有格错误) class. I will have ever(, however,没注意此处是插入语) be here for Monday's. Next Friday, awake(a week，理解成了从今天开始打起精神加油的意思) from today, is (the) midterm exam, marking the halfway point message(in the semester，未听懂). Professor Andrews has agree(agreed，时态不对) to exminiter this(administer the，意为调整考试，应语意理解，the听错后为元音未注意) exam. Inplies(In place of the) usual Wednesday class, I'll be arrange the oportional review acception.(I've arranged an optional review session，时态不对，optional拼写错误，理解错误). Since a year(it is，返回听仍觉得得不像it is) optional, atend    (attendance，听到有东西，但未辨出) will not be taken; however, attending the class would be a good idea for those who(不是从句？) worry(worried，时态不对) about the midterm. So, remember: optional class next Wednesday; midterm, Friday.

总结：１、听写中难以顾及到时态。
　　　２、单词音，有些未听过，另一部分发音不准，无法识别
　　　３、要加强听到音后的语意层面的反映
　＊＊４、要注意：听完一句再写一句才能扩大存储能力，听几个词写几个词是不行的。现在我的储存能力大概在３秒左右，习惯以后慢慢拉长。＊＊

第三篇（打工场景）
注：尽量加长一句的时间，扩大存储最重要。
Good afternoon. I'm here today to talk to you about __(a) career without our line(with our airline，其实后面多次听到airline应该可以改正此处，听写的时候分音不对). We're specially(especially，听错) intreseted(interested，低级拼写错误) in cluding people who imply fly attendence(recruiting people to fill openings for flight attendants.recruiting没听懂词不会，第一个airline没有听出来，所以此处的flight语意就未听懂，导致全错)
First of all, to work     attending(as a flight attendant，全文的flight都没听到，或者说听到了但是不相信，打工怎么能和飞机有关系) with us, It(you) must be express(accepted，未理解语意) into our training program __(and) with some many(so many) people inply(applying，后文反应到是apply), it's not be easier to supply(easy to be selected，selected在重听时听出来了，这里be应为被动，没注意语意). For(From) the thousand applycacient we would see annually(thousands of applications that we receive annually，拼写错误，单词不熟，receive处应该是能听到的) , we chose(choose，时态) fewer __(than a) thousand people for training. So, we were(多，由此主被动搞错)require experience serving in(the) public; and it also help people in some course credit(helps if you've earned some college credits.没听懂，胡写的)
Also, not everybody who get sur   (gets accepted) into the training program makes it true(through，听错).
The course need(meets，我觉得need更合适) sixty way(six days a week) for five weeks. The training close to(includes) extensive classroom working(work in，理解错误) such subjects ___(as first aid，全文就和飞机没联系起来，故此处听到但未听懂) and passenger sicology(psychology，不认识) as well as pratical(practical，拼写错误) training in fly percy like new serves(flight procedures and meal service，单词不认识，meal未反应到). A lot of our graduates saved(say that，听错) our fight attendence to(attendants) develop ___(the) skills of nurvers(a nurse), I had wait(a headwaiter，单词不认识), and a population exactly they do(public relations executive!没听懂)
But, it flyed attend(as a flight attendant) myself, I can see(say that) all my(of the) hard work is worth __(it，连读没听出来). Of crouse(course，低级拼写错误), I get to trouble(travel) throughout the country, and the airline pays all of my expensive way(expenses while，词性错误，while连词听错) ___(I'm) away from ___(my) base station. And, what I like best of all is better than(is that) I make friend people(I've made friends with people，从语意上应该可以写对) from all over __(the) country!

总结：１、扩大听觉存储能力最最最最最最重要
　　　２、在听的时候组织语意最最最最最最重要，绝不能只见树木不见森林，只听到会的词而不组织整句整段的意思
　　　３、要消灭生词，有很多词是认识的，但是耳朵不熟就听不出来
　　　４、单复数、词性、时态、冠词、介词等，在很多时候是不影响句意的，即使听错也没有影响，但句子结构，语态等不能忽略

第四篇（Housing场景）
I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for the(多余) next year. When you entered as a student in your first year(as first-year students this year，应该能反应上来是完成第一年学业的学生，但是语序没搞对), the school assigned you to (a) dorm and (a，这里的两个为何用a？) roommate, but next year as returning students you(you'll，语意) choose both the dorm and roomate(your roommate and your dorm，语意正确，但是不知道怎么漏了your). But wether(whether，低级拼写错误) or not you actually get to leave(live，语意不对) in your first choice depends on what number you and(or) your roommate draws in the lotry(lottery，没见过这个词，但是能听到并理解到是某个系统，高兴一个^_^) system. The system guess by lortiy(gives priority to the students who，完全没听懂) have been here longest. Fourth-year students get the first block (of) numbers, third-years get (the) second block, and second-years --- like you bay(you'll be，语意没听懂) --- get (the) third. The lower ___(the) number you draw, the sooner you choose. Number one gets ___(the) first choice, number two gets the second choice, and so on.
You can use either your own(won，没理解) or ___(your intended roommate's) number to make your room choice. If your roommate for next year has been to school as long as(at the school longer than，已理解是比你长的意思，但没听对) you have, they'll be in the(a) better block of numbers and so ___(will) have ___(a) better number than any in the(多余) second-year student. But most of you will probably be roomate(rooming，听到ing的音但未反应上来) with other second-year students and so neither of you may have grade(a great) number. You may not get ___(into) your first or even second choice. Of course, if you may(you've made) plans all of the(to live off，虽明白是说住在校外但是没听懂live off) campus, you don't need to enter the lortry(lottery) at all.
Dorm space is specialy ties here(will be especially tight this year，理解但听错) because the dorms on North Campus are close to the renovated(will be closed for renovations，没听懂最后一个词). This means that those who you(of you who，反应错误) draw the worst numbers won't be able to get dorm ___(housing) at all. In that case, the housing office will help you find off-campus housing.

第一篇（舞蹈）

The club is pleased to present the TV version offer the custom will(of The Catherine Wheel，完全理解错误), twice asorbs of rock bola(Twyla Tharp's rock ballet，整句只听到rock一个词).

Following the video, dance teacher Mary Parker will lead the discuss of the symbol mistable abuse(a discussion about the symbolism Ms. Tharp used，胡勒，完全没听懂). we can see the help(We hope you can stay) for that. So, enjoy tonight's video... and thank you for your support.

第二篇（Monticello）
Before starting our tour of Monticello, I'd like to give you some historical fact(facts，复数) that might help you appreciate to see(what you see，楞没听出来是what) today even more.
Monticello was a lovely(the very much loved，听出来是可爱的意思) home of Tomas Jeffsion(Thomas Jefferson，知道是谁就是不会拼) live(for，听错) over fifty years. Jefferson, who was called(, of course,，called听起来怎么都不对，明明听到s的音，但没想到是插入语) President, was also a great reader in(and，语意错误) language zuzist(enthusiast，没见过的词纯粹胡写). He read widely on different subjects, including arcitecter(architecture，背过但不会拼). He wasn't formaliy(formally，没反应上来语意) train(trained，时态不对) in architecture, but the other(as a，听错) result of his study and obsvating building in architect(observation of other buildings，没听懂), he was able to help to(多余)design an(and build the，这个怎么会听漏) house. He chose the setting themself(site himself，已经明白语意为自己选择地点), named it monticello(naming the estate "Monticello,"，语意为命名为什么，但听错) which means "little mountain" and talent(in Italian，没听出是意大利). In fact, many ___(of the，听漏) ideas behind this(the) design also came from the ___(Italian) architect ___(Andrea Palladio，没听出是人名，原以为是某个学说或某个理论，其实从后面的who lived应该能听出是人), who lived in the sixteenth century ___(and) who had a great influence on the architecture in(of) England.
Jefferson, however, ignore when pludiomprispose(ignored one of Palladio's principles，时态不对，one of没听出来，人名没听懂，最后一上词不认识) --- that is, no the(not to，语意上应该可以判断) build in a high place. Monticello's elevation made the traslation(transportation，听出是运输之意，但词不会拼) of what was needed up this(at the，理解成运送上楼了) house --- for example, food --- especially difficult. But will(the view，语意没听懂) from this data    (the estate would not be as spectacular，又一个整句完全没听懂) if Jefferson had followed Palladio's advice; that's(there) really exbondrik(is no boundary，胡写，没听懂) between house and nature around it(house和nature前短两个the), and so Jefferson was able to look out on his blavia date(beloved state，两个词都没听懂) of jenia(Virginia，听出是佛吉尼亚，不会拼) for this wonderful advantage(from his wonderful vantage，听错，语意不理解) point.
Now we'll go on to Jefferson's liberate(library，低级拼写错误).

第三篇（建筑thatching）

注：这篇听的狗屎不如。。。我只听出来是和盖房子的材料有关。。。

Welcome to for a winds systerm of our(the Four Winds Historical Farm，完全没听懂), perserve(where) traditional passed(traditions of the past are preserved) for visitors like you. Today, are(our) master thatches will be given(begin giving) beer(this barn，纯胡写) behind me are dirty fetch proof(a sturdy thatched roof) able to would stand(withstand) heavy winds and last for(up to a) hundred years. How did(do) they do it? Well, and on another shellp(in a nutshell), thatching in walls(involves) covering the been(beams) in are roughters(or rafters) --- they wouldn't scholed any rough(the wooden skeleton of a roof) --- with reaser sdraw(reeds or straw). our thatcher here have harvest there won is(Our thatches here have harvested their own) natural materials for the job --- the bamboo is water ree did you see realize(bundles of water reeds you see lying) over there beside the water bar(barn). Thatching is certainly on common(uncommon) ___(in the) Untied States today. I guess that(that's) why so many of you ___(have) come to see the demostration(this demonstration). But they(it) wasn't always that way. In ___(the) seventeenth century, the collen(colonists) here was strue and strawk(thatched their roofs with reeds and straw，词都是自己造的，纯粹胡写), just say doesn't(as they had done in)England. After a while, tho(though), they began to replace the thatch that what wouldn't shingle(with wooden shingles) because wood was so plantfull(plentiful). actually(And eventually), other roofing materials just() like stone, slay and staken tiles as use(slate, and clay tiles came into use). It's ___(a) real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long lasting a ___(thatched) roof is. In Irland(Ireland), we(where) thatching is still practiced, the roofs can serviour(survive) winds ___(of) up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That's because straw and wees(reeds) are so flexable(flexible). They bend but don't break in ___(the) wind like other materials can. and the other(Another) advantage ___(is that) the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then, of course, the(there's) the roofs' long jevity(longevity) --- the average is sixty years, but they can't(can) last up to a hundred. With all this(these) reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't ___(it) be wonderful ___(to) see this dispearance(disappearing) craft return in(to) popularity?
