练习方法：先不看文本听3遍以上，尽量听清每个发音，然后将故事听写出来，发到我们电台社区的贴吧作为作业。接着看文本，改正听写的错误，并弄懂每句话，每个词。然后不看文本同步跟读，直到能流利朗读并完全理解，最后用自己的话将故事复述出来。以上步骤可根据个人情况进行调整。

2. Grandma's sweaters 奶奶的毛衣

Steven loved almost everything about his grandma. There was only one thing he hated. She always knitted sweaters for him. Steven understood that she did it to be nice. However, all the sweaters were very ugly. Steven visited her once a week. She had a new sweater for him each time.

史蒂夫几乎喜欢奶奶的一切。只是有一件事他很讨厌，她总是给他织毛衣。史蒂夫知道她这么做是好心，但是所有的毛衣都非常难看。史蒂夫每周去看一次奶奶，她每次都给他一件新毛衣。

Steven lived in a small apartment. There was no room for him to keep all the sweaters. He had to give all of them away. "Grandma will never find out," he thought. One day, Steven's grandma visited him by surprise. She asked to see his sweaters. "Someone stole all of them!" he said. "They were too nice." She made him ten more by the next month.

史蒂夫住在一个小公寓，没有那么多空间给他放这些毛衣。他只好把毛衣都送人了。他想，奶奶永远都不会发现的。一天，史蒂夫的奶奶突然来看他，她想看看他的那些毛衣。他说，毛衣全被偷走了！他们太好看了。第二个月奶奶又给他做了十件毛衣。
