中级美式英语   第二课

一、本课要点及示例

今天我们要练习两个词组, 一个是 used to, u-s-e-d t-o, used to, 另外一个是动词加上 to, t-o, to 再加上动词, 也就是 like to do 和 want to go 等等的动词短语.

首先请你听一段对话, 内容是说 Henry 跟他表妹 Susan 在谈做运动. 我们先把这段对话用正常速度念一遍, 请你注意正确的发音跟语调的抑扬顿挫.

M: Susan, what do you do for exercise?

F: I go swimming once a week.

M: I used to swim in high school, but I don't have time anymore.

F: That's too bad. Exercise is really important.

M: I know. I'm getting a little fat. I didn't use to be this heavy.

F: Well, I'm going swimming tonight. Do you want to go with me?

M: Okay. I really need to get in shape again.

现在我们把这段对话用慢速度再念一遍, 请注意听.
