英语文本

精听建议：

先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍，争取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精听，力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方，再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单，不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦，有些语速比较快。试试看，你能不能全部写对？

（参考文本，欢迎指出错误^^）

中文翻译和词汇注释

这些天很多英国人和美国人都没有穿以前的衣服，但是有时穿合适的服装是很重要的！很多英国人不太在意穿着。只要穿着舒服就可以了。当他们出去玩时穿什么都可以。在剧院，电影院和音乐厅，从优雅的外套和裙子到牛仔和羊毛衫，只要你喜欢穿什么都可以。

任何衣服都会穿的很长，只要你穿着干净得体。然而，在英国和美国，男人和办公人员通常穿外套打领带，女士穿女装和裙子，夹克和小裤子。医生，律师和商业人员穿以前的衣服。很难具体的说在英国和美国人们都穿什么因为每个人都不一样。

如果你不确定穿什么，看看其他人怎么穿然后照他们的穿或者问问你朋友或家里人的意见。如果你看上去和别人穿着一样你会感觉越放松。
