朗讀內容

Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says Son can you play me a memory

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes

La la la di da da

La la di di da da dum

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us all feelin' all right

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke

And he'll light up your smoke

But there's some place that he'd rather be

He says Bill I believe this is killing me

As his smile ran away from his face

Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place

Oh la la la di da da

La la di da da da dum

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talkin' with Davy

Who's still in the Navy

And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessman slowly gets stoned

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinkin' alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you got us all feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

'Cause he knows

That it's me they've been comin' to see

To forget about their life for a while

And the piano it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say Man what are you doin' here

Oh la la la di da da

La la di da da da dum

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you got us all feeling alright

什麼是清晨朗讀會?

這裡就是清晨朗讀會。我每天早上6點左右發送可以模仿和朗讀的材料,包括語音和文本。希望我們能夠每天一起練習。

如何使用此練習材料

較理想的狀態

先聽一遍我讀的語音(最好第一遍不看原文)

再聽一遍,這次跟著模仿(聽不懂你模仿的沒關係,跟不上也沒關係,就儘量模仿你聽到的音!)

朗讀一遍原文

這個時候才花點時間查不懂的內容(但查詢的時間不要超過總練習時間的三分之一!)

1-3步驟再重複2-3遍

發到朋友圈裡,告訴朋友你今天練了英語!(對我來講,日常的轉發與分享是最大的支持和幫助,提前感謝!)

起碼要達到的狀態

聽一遍

跟著模仿一遍

朗讀一遍
