English Listening OEC_Training

This audio is specially provided for members of Oral English Club, a global association that will help you with your endeavour to speak English fluently and clearly and powerfully. For more information about our free OEC program, please visit www.oralenglishclub.com. Enjoy listening and have fun.

本编辑是供Oral English Club 会员培训用的专用听力故事集。会员在一个级别（Entry Level, Primary, Intermediate, Advanced) 中只选择一个故事进行大脑语言区的深度训练(精听和情境模仿）。这样， 在一个训练长周期内一个学员最多‘精听’四个故事/影视。其他故事，包括在另一辑 （English Listening OEC_General)里的内容可供泛听。但建议在训练期间不要‘贪多’，否则因为时间有限导致学员的学习不可持续。

我在每星期天北京时间晚上8点到9点准时直播，希望会员积极参与和互动，一起讨论和帮助解答大家在训练过程中遇到的各种问题。

加入我们的英文口语俱乐部（微信：hemu_2013)，利用我们特有的培训方法，同我们的全球会员交流学习。我们帮助你 实现说一口流利标准英文的目标。

Method for our Oral English Club members

Key Words: Deep Listening & Live Imitating

• Choose a suitable story (audible from internet or other resources, about 5 - 10 minutes long) – a list of choice will be available for our members on club website (www.oralenglishclub.com - under construction), and WeChat (through the ID: hemu_2013), as well as the OralEnglishClub on ximalaya.com.

• Listen to the story at least four times a day for a period up to two weeks, do NOT try to speak until you feel for an instinct to imitate the speaker.

• Then, before doing the formal imitation, you may need a separate task to correct your pronunciation, so that you can say each word in the story correctly and clearly. Sessions of training may be required depending on individual circumstances. Please consult hemu_2013 for further advice.   

• Imitate the speaker, exacting the emotions and rhythms and intonation.

• Record your own voice, compare it with the original and fix the difference.

• Practice, practice, practice… until you become satisfied with your own speech.

• Join the regular gathering of club members - the English only occasions at each locality which are to be held every two weeks as recommended.

• Be active on Wechat, always be nice and ready to answer questions posted by other members in need.

• Attend to my every Sunday's webcast at 8:00pm - 9:00pm (Beijing Time), post your questions to be answered by me or by other members.
