Daily English Dictation Number Eight

以下内容同時會在微信公衆号同步更新:電子小彭友 (便于手機随時随地翻閱)

Coach Shane 是美國的一位幫助熱愛英語的人更好地掌握英語的老師,他的微網誌口号是:“Helping students master english !”。

據我所知,老師已經推出四個作品,按照難度級别分别是:E-cubed(Daily Easy English Expression日常英語輕松表達),Daily English Dictation(DD每日聽寫),DDM(Daily Dictation Members會員每日聽寫),PIRF(Pronunciation, Intonation, Rhythm and Flow發音、語調、節奏和流暢);其中DDM和PIRF是收費的,有志提高自己相應能力的朋友可以去聽老師的課程,在老師的微網誌就可以找到報名連結(老師人挺不錯,算是幫老師宣傳一下吧)。在學習他的DD時,發現視訊下面字幕不完整且有部分錯誤,我就嘗試在網上找了一下資源,發現隻有一個叫“譯學館”的網站上有DD的字幕(隻做了五個視訊且大量錯誤,有時間的同學可以去看一看我說的是這樣的情況不)。于是我決定做把自己的分享出來,幫助大家在看Coach Shane老師的DD作品時有不懂的,可以來參照,哈哈。
