听力原文:
It's important to prepare for your trip in advance and to take precautions while you are travelling. As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don't want to get to your destination only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport isn't valid any more. Make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver's license. Don't accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. Finally, remember to smile. It's the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!

1. V
手掌朝外摆出“V”字形在英国意味着胜利victory,在北美意味着和平peace。
2,Patting
在北美,手掌轻拍小孩的头部是一种表示喜欢的手势。如果你需要引起小孩子的注意,最简单的方法就是轻拍他们的头部。不过,在佛教信仰中,头顶是身体的最高点,也是灵魂的所在之处。 触摸一个人的头顶,无论他是小孩还是成人,都是非常不敬的。在以佛教为主的国家,比如在泰国Thailand 和斯里兰卡Sri Lanka尽量避免这个动作。
3,Crossing your Fingers
很多西方国家用这个手势来祷告祈福,不过在越南Viet Nam,尤其是在看着别人或者对别人说话时,做这个手势是很猥琐的。
希望老师能讲得更细一点,其中那句don't accept rides from strangers,读得特别快,应该是有吞音,希望老师能讲解一下
Don't accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift 这句好难,好多卷音连读没有重点讲呢
It's the friendliest and most sincere form of communication这句连读也好难
根本不能提高 听不懂能不能讲解细致啊
完全不行啊
可以用来测试,这是日常的正常语速?
拾火采 回复 @1803255qqos: 这个肯定要慢的
老师讲的真好
为什么就只能听一分钟
网易有道考神 回复 @琥珀_o6c: 这里是原声音频,所以只有一分钟,完整版的带老师讲解的在:初阶旅行|第7集:这种语言,全宇宙通用! 麻烦您找一下哦
我觉得在自测版原声前可以告诉我们应该从听力中需要听哪些关键信息,这样对考试或许更有帮助。
