Due to the special nature of the tape, the quality of the audio files that can be saved is not very good.

Naturally, all kinds of repeaters and simple multi-function radios have different decoding effects on tapes because the magnetic heads on them are different from other things.

As a result, Wu Zhen didn't know what kind of pronunciation the text was reading.

Wu Zhenzhen expressed great doubts about the word "high fidelity" on this repeater, which has been in service for more than four years.

However, it seems that this is the only tool for the time being.

Although I heard that the mp3 is better for listening to English, it seems that the price is still quite expensive.

It seems that the seemingly harmless headphones will also cause a lot of damage to the ears.

Moreover, the small and fashionable MP3 seems to be able to play only one kind of thing called MP3 file, and this kind of file, Wu Zhen really doesn't know what it is.

The text itself does not seem to have such a document, after all, only two cassettes were sent with the textbook.

So, in the evening, Wu Zhenzhen was accompanied by his mother, who had just rested, and started the first experience of direct reading.

Because, before Wu's real reading, he used a repeater to select a certain paragraph.

Then determine the cycle within 240 seconds (at that time, the maximum time of repeaters was generally 240 seconds, and there were also 480 seconds of repeaters, but the price of large capacity was very expensive.) ), and set the speed to -1 to repeat.

According to what Mr. Wang said, it seems that reading directly at the speed of the tape is more effective for people.

Because this tape is arranged at this rate, there is a reason why it is designed to be at this rate.

So, Wu Zhenzhen struggled to follow the speed of the repeater.

Naturally, looking at Wu Zhen's rather difficult appearance, the real mother also tried to read along.

The real mother does have some English background, so it is much easier to read than Wu Zhen.

After reading for five minutes, Wu Zhenzhen really couldn't keep up, so he had to stop first.

Then the real mother said: "Haha, I have lost my English for 20 years, and you are not as good as me." Let's do our best. ”

So, Wu Zhen rested for ten minutes and then started practicing again.

When it was time to go to bed, the real mother looked at Wu Zhenzhen, who was not afraid of failure, and looked very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's see if you have made progress when you come back next week or next month, and for now, you should go to sleep." ”

So, the practice for the night stopped.

When he got up in the morning, he saw his mother walking into the car with his suitcase, and Wu Zhenzhen started a new round of practice.

Since he couldn't keep up with the normal speed of the tape, Wu Zhen spent the next few hours with the repeater.

So, after five or six hours of high-intensity practice, Wu Zhenzhen gradually kept up with the normal speed of the repeater.

Although, when reading some sentences, I still can't keep up, but for these conversations with pauses in the first semester of junior high school, Wu Zhenzhen gradually found some feelings.

When he was almost finished, Wu Zhenzhen opened the cassette of "Longman Audiovisual Speaking", according to Mr. Wang, this textbook is slightly more difficult than the text, so Wu Zhenzhen also wants to experience it.

After opening it, Wu Zhenzhen found that there was not much difference between the difficulty of reading and the text.

At this time, Wu Zhenzhen remembered what Mr. Guan said in class: "When you open the tape, you can keep up with the tape of one text, then you can also keep up with the tape of other texts." ”

So, Wu Zhenzhen, who initially learned to read aloud and follow along, naturally picked up the repeater to try the repeating function.

Then, Wu Zhenzhen recorded the two sentences that he thought he had read best, and walked to the living room with the repeater in his hand.

Seeing that Wu Zhen looked very serious with the repeater, grandpa smiled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Zhenzhen said: "Well, you don't listen to this passage like a foreigner said. ”

Then, Wu Zhenzhen turned the TV on mute and asked the repeater to start reading the recording he had just recorded.

After hearing this, my grandfather smiled and said, "Haha, neither your grandmother nor I know English." ”

Wu Zhenzhen said, "Ah, how is that possible? Aren't you college students?"

Grandma smiled and said, "Haha, who said that college students learned English, we studied Russian at that time." ”

Wu Zhenzhen said: "Ah, why did you learn Russian before?"

Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story, but in short, Russian was very important at that time, and English is very important now." ”

After a pause, Grandpa continued, "In general, in fact, any language is very important, but you can't go wrong with learning a foreign language well." ”

Naturally, my grandmother smiled and said, "Haha, sometimes we speak in Russian." ”

Then, the grandparents said a few words to each other in Russian, and naturally Wu Zhen was confused.

"Grandparents, what did you just say?" Wu Zhenzhen asked.

"Haha, let's just tell old stories. Grandma said with a smile.

Then, the grandfather said: "By the way, as for the question of whether you say it is like a foreigner, it is actually very simple, because there is a CCTV-9 (Note: CCTV-9 was an English channel in the early days, and later it became a documentary channel in an update, and a foreign language channel became several. It's an English channel. ”

So, grandpa jumped to the English channel, listening to the fast speed of speech, Wu Zhen found that now this reading level is not even a skin.

Looking at Wu Zhenzhen, who was a little depressed, grandpa said: "Haha, after all, these people all rely on this to eat, so they must be at different levels of reading, and you seem to have only worked hard to read on the first day." ”

Wu Zhen nodded after listening.

Grandpa continued: "In short, it takes a certain amount of time to see the effect of this thing, and until then, all your investment will definitely not be immediate. ”

After a pause, Grandpa continued: "By the way, except for standing a pole in the sun, other things cannot have immediate results in the process of learning. No matter what, be sure to lay the groundwork, one step at a time. As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so your voice is a little dumb today, so you might as well do something else. ”

Since his voice was indeed almost used, Wu Zhenzhen returned to the desk and picked up the two Olympiad books that he had taken from Li Zengfan's hand before and began to read.

Looking at the book carefully, Wu Zhen found that the first problem seemed to have a lot of detours, and this problem seemed to be just finding a greatest common divisor, but it had to use a lot of mathematical principles that seemed to be unusable.

In this way, Wu Zhen understood that this math Olympiad might not be suitable for him.

In the evening, after finishing the other assignments, Wu Zhenzhen began to try to read along, and seemed to have gradually adapted to this speed that seemed a little difficult before—the process of following up no longer seemed difficult.

In this way, the rest of the English reading will not be as troublesome as before, you know, 240 seconds of reading often covers less than one long conversation, and the speed of -1 means more extra time to read the text.

Without these things, the process of reading is naturally no longer painful.

However, it seems that new passages that are completely unfamiliar still have to be tempered by re-reading, and you can only follow them well when you are proficient.
