英语口语大赢家Topic5:社区布告栏Bulletin
阿美和丹尼尔放学回家,在布告栏处看见了停电通知。停电了,丹尼尔就看不了他最爱的动画片《奥特曼》了,同时爸爸也看不了《美国偶像》了。于是两人决定带着家里的小狗芭比去玩。 Listen Read Learn Daniel: Oh, come on, Ultraman! May: What’s up, Bro? What’s in the bulletin? Daniel: It says that there will be a blackout from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in our neighborhood today. May: Blackout? Even the TV has the limit. Daniel: (starting at May angrily) Don’t you know you will look like a monster in the blackout? May: Oops, no, Daddy can’t watch American Idol, either! Daniel: That’s not the point. Come on, can you imagine that there will be no electricity on such a hot day? May: Oh, my god! No air-conditioner! Daniel: OK, since you are the smart one, can you come up with a better plan? So that we won’t be baked like cookies here. May: How about playing Barbie out there in the neighborhood? Daniel: Barbie? You know, I might be seven, but I’m not a girl. May: Do you have a better plan? Daniel: All right, all right. 听看学 丹尼尔:噢,天哪,《奥特曼》! 阿美:怎么啦?弟弟。布告栏上面说的是什么? 丹尼尔:布告栏上说社区今天晚上5点到7点要停电。 阿美:停电?就连电视也不能看了。 丹尼尔:(怒视着看阿美)难道你不知道你现在看起来就像黑暗中的魔鬼吗? 阿美:啊,爸爸也看不了他的《美国偶像》了! 丹尼尔:那根本就不是重点。拜托,你能够想象在那么热的天没有电的情况吗? 阿美:噢,天哪,空调也用不了了! 丹尼尔:既然你很聪明,你能想出一个更好的计划吗?这样的话我们就不会像被烘烤的饼干一样了。 阿美:那么带小狗芭比一块儿去社区玩怎么样? 丹尼尔:芭比?虽然我只有七岁,但是我又不是女孩子。 阿美:那么你有更好的计划吗? 丹尼尔:算了,随便。 经典背诵 Recitation May: When blackout happened in our community my little brother Daniel couldn’t watch his favorite cartoon Ultraman, and my Dad couldn’t watch American Idol either.
