朗讀內容
What is life all about? Self-exploration is good for the 『Soul』By Michael Ordoña
「Soul」 isn’t what most might expect from a big-studio, animated movie for kids, but Pixar’s success affords it the freedom to try new things — including exploring the oldest of questions.
「I think a lot of us have fallen into that idea of 『Just find your passion; do what you love, and everything else will fall into place,』 and I came to a point where I’m like, 『Not everything is coming into place. I’m not happy and content all the time just because I love doing animation,』 」 says 「Soul」 director and co-writer Pete Docter, a two-time Oscar winner.
「What’s life really all about, and what are we meant to be doing? The film was really an investigation into that.」
「Soul’s」 main character, Joe (voiced by Jamie Foxx), is a frustrated jazz musician-turned-teacher about to get his big break at a club when he unexpectedly dies. His struggle to return to his life (accompanied by a kind of baby soul voiced by Tina Fey) to fulfill what he sees as his purpose forms the story. As Docter says, 「Soul」 is not concerned with religious dogma, but with being present and alive right now, which makes the highly improvisational art of jazz an appropriate theme.
It helped considerably that co-writer Kemp Powers used to cover jazz as a journalist, but there’s no replacement for lived experience. Docter refers to the opening scene, in which Joe conveys to his students how he fell in love with jazz when his father took him to a club:
「Where that came from was me asking Jon Batiste, who played the music, 『Describe to me a moment like this.』 And I almost literally transcribed what he said and put it in the film.」

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
