宁波新航道月湖校区看美剧把地道表达用进雅思口语

宁波新航道月湖校区看美剧把地道表达用进雅思口语-宁波新航道月湖校区，为您量身定制备考计划，能够为学员们充分保障学习质量，有效巩固英语听说读写能力基础，为您助力雅思考试。

提升英语口语和听力水平的有效方法之一，就是把自己融入到英语环境中。但如果身边没有native speakers经常和你对话，看美剧学英语不失为一个有效的学习方法。

大家在看剧时往往更关注剧情本身，其实选择适合自己当前英语能力的剧更重要。说到经典美剧，除了大家耳熟能详的《老友记 Friends》, 不得不提《绝望主妇 Desperate Housewives》。个人更推荐后者，因为这部剧的故事背景设定在美国四位中产阶级家庭主妇的婚后生活。中产阶级语言表达比较完整、通顺、规范；文采适当，既不会过于阳春白雪，也不是下里巴人的大白话，更容易帮助我们掌握英语的规律。

下面就来看到《绝望主妇 Desperate Housewives》S1E1开头独白,其中有不少可以运用到雅思口语话题中的素材哦！
