Journal 8

I watched a CNN report in class this week, there were difficult to knew the content of all report without Chinese sub-title. Generally, we often heard Chinese dialogue everyday, it is did not need to carefully listen , but we can knew the topic and the content of the dialogue; On the other hand, we seldom use English as our conversation language. Though we pay attention to accent of the reporter or to his mouth, we are still did not understand the whole content of the dialogue. Therefore we should develop of our English listening ability other than reading more English writing, and to advance our whole English ability.

這禮拜看了CNN的一篇新聞報導，如何從沒有字幕的報導中了解整篇報導的內容對我來說是困難的。一般我們常聽見的中文對話，並不需要特別去聆聽就能知道對話的主題跟內容；而對於我們日常生活中不太常運用的英文來說，就算非常仔細去注意報導者的語調跟嘴型，說不定我們也只能聽懂幾句話。看來除了多看些英文小品之外，還必須再注意聽力的培養，才能達到英文整體性的提升。
