基础篇
一、模仿朗读
听以下短文一遍,给你50秒钟的时间准备,然后模仿朗读。当听到“开始录音”的信号后,立即在50秒钟内朗读短文,当听到要求“停止录音”的信号时,应立即中止朗读。
Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. This is a very important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding.
In Western countries, using eye contact in conversations is very important. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening. And if you look away, they may also think that you are lying.
However, in many Asian countries, looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, an Asian person might look down while listening to a Western speaker. The Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying.
Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous.
