Lesson 08

大名鼎鼎的一套听力书，最原汁原味的听力语料。作为一名曾经的英专生，直到自己作为雅思听力教师，这套书都一直是我最喜欢最百听不厌的。

PS：相信很多爱好英文的朋友都有听过，我自己在网上也听过，不过可能是由于传来传去反复压缩，音质不是很好，所以我把收藏起来的这套书的原版光盘无损地上传到喜马拉雅上，供大家学习。最后，强烈建议各位支持正版，去书店购买纸质书。^_^

Section Three:

Dictation 1:

I have a watch. It is a Swiss watch. It isn’t new and my friends are sometimes a little rude about it. They tell me to buy a new one. But I do not want a new one. I am very happy with my old watch. Last week it stopped. So I took it to the shop. I did not ask for an estimate. Today I went to get it. Do you know how much I had to pay? Five pounds. Five pounds just for cleaning a watch.

Dictation 2:

Have you ever thought what it is like to be one of those beautiful girls that you see on the front of fashion magazines? They meet interesting people, they travel to exciting places, and sometimes they make a lot of money. But they have to work hard. They often have to get up very early in the morning, and of course they have to be very careful about what they eat.
