日常英语 - 通过一小对话学习掌握关于英语听力口语的若干语言现象

“Whaddaya Say” 这本书，给很多人推荐过。今天，拿出其中一课同大家一同学习。

建议大家在学习这一对话时，先把慢读的版本模仿读好，然再过渡到语速快的版本，也把它模仿好；语速快的版本不是现在就要用在说上的，主要是用在听力的，模仿语速快的版本，对听力的提高帮助很大，有立竿见影的效果。

平常尽量使用慢速的英语同别人交流，这样，别人能听懂，自己也少犯错，讲的英语也比较一致consistent。 不至于一句话讲的很流利，别人用正常语速来同你继续谈的时候，自己跟不上了。
等到自己各方面都提高到一定程度以后，正常语速交流自然就水到渠成了。

感兴趣的同学可以将自己模仿的录音放上来，让大家给提意见，自己再改进。

对话脚本：

WOMEN:      I want to make a reservation for Tuesday April 6 (sixth).
MAN:            We have a single room and a double room available for the 6 (sixth).
WOMEN:      Does the double have a refrigerator and an extra bed?
MAN:            It has a refrigerator, and we can get you a rollaway (roadway) bed.
WOMEN:      Is it quiet? And is there a charge for children under 3?
MAN:            Yes, it’s very quiet, and there’s no charge for children.
WOMEN:      Great. I’ll take it. There’ll be four people, myself, my husband and two children.
MAN:            Fine, I’ll need your name and a credit card number to hold that room.
WOMEN:      My name is Julie Kim, K-I-M, and my credit card number is 453...
MAN:            Excuse me. An airplane flew overhead and I couldn’t hear. What’s your ... ?
