四、五两个月没有参加晨读，Eric这篇五月的晨读可以作为这个月的指南

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/iogijMe-q5cEUecNedjXBQ

1）高频、简单、地道的

谁说的啊： Says who？

去哪儿呀： Where to？

我有选择困难症： I am having trouble deciding.

信号不好：My calls are always breaking up. 

我就随便逛逛： I am just browsing. 

2) 学完就能用：场景很重要，我们要能想象自己会在哪些场景中表达，如果无法派上用场，说明它对你来说并不重要。另外一方面要学适合万能改编的句型。

3）主动背诵和整理

不要背单词短语，而是要背整句话， 而且要一并把这句话的语音语调都背下来。[连声调语境一起克隆到脑子。]

重复出现、可以打包学习的表达一网打尽。

4）最好的复习方式，不是review，而是recall。

5）语调节奏和发音同等重要。

动词词组的重音一般在后面的小品词上，比如 break up. 【up是主重音】

e.g.  check in, get into, box up, put out, drag on, clear up, fill in, fill out, mark down, pull over, run over

downhill, side order, magic bullet, pile-up, Bloody Mary, real treat, first rate, waiting list, new suit, laundry detergent, pet peeve
