对话：
A: This is Madeline Wright, for BCC News reporting live from Washington D. C. where, very shortly, the new President will deliver his inaugural address.

学习步骤：
1. 精听:
使用aboboo软件播放原声音频, 一句一句听写。听不出来的语句可以尝试慢速播放, 实在听不出来的时候再耐下性子调整播放速度多听几遍, 如果还是听不出来可以到文本中翻看这句话。切忌精听之前就去看文本(可以提前预习一下对话后面的词汇)，那是一点儿作用都没有的！
2. 模仿:
一句一句反复模仿, 假装自己就是对话中的主角。 确保语音语调与原声音频尽可能一致（精听模仿都离不开分析音变现象）；
3. 总结:
挑出文中好的单词或语句, 总结使用表达并尝试自己造句。
