浸淫熏陶多年。。。

那也得是有方法的啊，刚听写了一下你的文本，有些没听清楚，你看能不能校对一下，或者放在首页。

我算了一下平均你句只要4.5秒啊，这个速度太快了，而且基本上每一句都带从句啊！这个太佩服了，告诉点经验啊！

The first most important characteristic, I think, that the parents should have is to be loving and kind.
For me, the biggest source of kindness in my life has always been my mother.
As a doctor, she is just kinda, the kinda of person who is loving and care.
And when I was little, I was constantly ill, but she was always there for me.
The second characteristic of a good parent, I think, is to be respectful for your children.
Just like what my dad has always been,
As a professor, my dad has always supported my decisions on whether it's my study or my life.
And he never interfere for them.
Instead, he always shows supporter.
And I think, these are the two most important characteristics that make a good parent.

There are different approaches that students take towards finishing an assignment.
And for me, I personally prefer to do work individually instead of in a group.
Because, firstly, I am a person who gets very easily distracted.
And instead of having a whole group of people's ideas all around me,
I would rather just stick to my own ideas and thoughts about the project,
which is more challenging too, I think.
The second reason is that I have been able to control over what I do.
And working on a project independently allows me to have more freedom and decisions over how the work should be done.
So, I think, these are the reasons why I prefer to work individually instead of in a group.      

The university dining service is going to eliminate the hot breakfast and provide cold breakfast instead.
However, the woman obviously did not think that is a very good idea.
For the first reason, um, well, the university believe that cold breakfast is healthier than before.
The woman thinks that this is not even an issue.
Because on a cold morning, a warm omelet would obviously be healthier for you than the cold yogurt .
The second reason is that although the university asserts that they're helping their students to save money,
they are actually making things worse.
Because when students cannot get what they want,
they will go off campus and pay off-campus prices for hot breakfast,
which will eventually add up to a pretty considerable economic burden for them.
So these are the two reasons why the woman did not support the university's new breakfast plan in particular.         

Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that people come across
when they have a contradiction between their action and their belief.
To illustrate this concept, the professor used his own life experience as an example,
which is when he was in high school,
he was seriously addicted to video games,
which resulted in his failure in chemistry.
He was completely torn and feeling 'XXX'
Um, that's when the cognitive dissonance came in.
But then he came up with a solution of changing his perspectives.
Because he was only doing poor at chemistry, which really doesn't matter.
Because he didn't wanna grow up to be a chemist.
So he changed his understanding of what it means to do well at schools,
which is only to do well at courses that matters to his future.
He reinterpreted his situation and eventually eliminated the 'XXX',
which is also what people do, when confronting cognitive dissonance.      

The woman is in an awkward situation,
where she wanna a XX award in creative writing and was invited to the awards ceremony.
But she has a biology exam schedule for the same time.
She has two options.
The first one is to write a five page paper instead of taking the exam.
But she was afraid that it might it took too much time,
since she has so many other things to do.
The second option is that she could have some one else to receive the award for her.
But then it'll be a sorry for her parents who will be looking forward to see her at the ceremony.
I would recommend her to go with the first plan.
It's just a little extra work and time to write the paper.
But it's.. it's definitely gonna worth it to make it to the ceremony.
Because if it's me,
I will try to do everything to make my parents proud and not to disappoint them.
So I really think that she should try to write the paper and go to the ceremony.        

There are various strategies for an advertisement to appeal to its audience.
The first one that the professor talked about is repetition,
which means through repeat XX over and over again until people start to accept it or see it in a positive light.
For example, the professor talked about this advertisement for this small car.
in which the XX keeps saying XXX for friends, XXX for family, XXX for everyone.
And after her repeated it for a good amount,
people actually started to be convinced that it is a very spacious car,
although it didn't look like it.
The second strategy that the professor talked about is to use celebrities in advertisement.
Because people would think that celebrities are more convincing and trustworthy.
For example, if an advertisement features a popular car racer, saying that 'I like my car to be fast',
people actually believe that this car has a name for the speed.

这位同学，你居然听写文本？

就是研究一下牛X在什么地方（包括语音、语速、句子结构、用词），non-native speaker到底能达到什么样的程度，然后努力朝这个方向迈进。

被吓到啦！筒子你好认真！

如果说方法么，这种程度的句型词汇，谁都能写得出来，但是有这个语言材料但 ...

麻烦你校正一下吧，就跟帖好了，也方便大家学习。谢谢！

另外，这个“腹诽”的方法很有意思啊！是lz自创的吗？且不说我第一次听到这个词（居然还有典故，lz好汉语词汇量）。lz的意思是把这些东西先写下来，然后默念以形成英文语感和思维？这个和平常我们说的“背”有没有什么主要的区别？lz是不是练到最后就考试的时候也是这个语速和各种从句？

不是要写下来也不是背，是直接把想写的东西说出来。比背要高效，因为你要一边在脑子里组织语言一边说， ...

谢谢！受教了！:handshake
最后一个问题，lz练习“腹诽”的时候有依据什么材料吗？就是托福的这些题目吗，还是生活中想到什么就去练习用英文表达？就是说，如何才能系统性地多样化地去表达一些东西，因为我如果去练的话，就自己会说的那些练练，使用的句式啥的都是很简单的，这样也提高不了多少啊，lz是怎么拔高自己的？是依据什么材料然后找差距然后拔高吗？还是有更好的方法？

口语是质变到量变，就算觉得自己每次都没有提高，也不是无用功。针对考试当然还是用最贴近考试的材料最好 ...

你是不是想说量变到质变？所以也就是说从各种来源积累好的句型和词汇用法咯？还是说你觉得哪些材料特别给力？再问一个问题，在准备的那15秒或30秒的时候你一般都做啥啊？

哈哈今天写东西写得脑袋糊涂了，说反了。。

口语表达的练习就是很好的积累质的过程啊，很多东西会写不 ...

OK, I see, thanks again.
