说明：我觉得听写还是有些进步，不那么吃力的去听一句话了。
. w8 S8 z% J  v7 ]但是，我有两个很重要的问题很迷惑：
; ?3 A) w2 y4 m0 W1） 我听力的速度比跟读的速度快很多，如果我每天用两个小时做听力练习，其中半个小时听写，一个半小时读，我也不可能把听写的文章读得非常的流利，达到盲读的水平更是不可能，所以我会用2天－3天的时间读一篇文章。听写就会走在读的前面。我该怎么解决这个问题啊？是继续写下去，读就慢慢的读，还是读好了再继续往下写？
" `4 ]& I* U5 D; w
0 f1 K* W: b8 ~: n! P : k4 x1 }  R2 P$ \8 u  z
2） 我每天和外国人说话，没有发觉我的语言流利问题，但是我跟读时发觉用托福的语速，基本上舌头都是在打结，屡不值，然后就读得乱七八糟的。也就是我根本不可能用录音里的语速来朗读。怎么办啊？

1.听写之后跟读知道能跟上这篇文章文章的节奏才开始下篇的听写,刚开始跟读是会跟不上,就象听写一样,坚持一段时间就会好点. A. u9 X* j0 R8 Z% v/ F
2.平常对话用的基本都是日常口语,听写多是学术段子,大量的学术单词,因而会有和平常对话一样,熟悉文章的学术背景和词汇之后会好点

听写的功效应该说是逐渐显现，能很明白的听懂对话，而且听写也只错一些小词了。继续努力中。我现在很头疼的是跟读，是不是要读到基本背下来阿？而且我总是跟不是录音的速度。  L! H: E; f0 \& l( t$ l) q
