This is a fun and effective exercise called shadowing.

這是一種有趣而有效的練習，叫做影子練習。

It is effective because in order to build your fluency, you have to say things over and over.

它之所以有效，是因為要想提高流利程度，就必須反覆說。

So, by mimicking a native speaker like me, you can improve how you sound and you'll sound more natural.

是以，通過模仿像我這樣的母語人士，你可以改善自己的發音，讓自己聽起來更自然。

So, here's what we're going to do.

所以，我們要這麼做。

I'm going to read aloud a passage at a slightly slower pace than real life so that you can follow along and mimic me as best as you can.

我將以比現實生活稍慢的速度朗讀一段話，這樣你們就可以跟著我儘可能地模仿我。

There will be words on the side of the screen, but also there will be in the description below a PDF document so that you can practice on your own.

螢幕一側會有文字說明，下方的說明中還會有 PDF 文檔，您可以自行練習。

Also, there will be a link for just the audio.

此外，還將提供音頻鏈接。

Okay, so this is something that I wrote from the perspective of a friend sharing advice of how to save money when moving to a city.

好吧，這是我從一個朋友的角度寫的，分享了搬到一個城市後如何省錢的建議。

Let's get into it.

讓我們開始吧。

Living in a city can be quite expensive and saving money can be difficult.

在城市生活可能相當昂貴，省錢也很困難。

No matter where you go, there are stores surrounding you.

無論你走到哪裡，周圍都有商店。

There are so many fun things to do and so many friends to do things with.

有這麼多有趣的事情可以做，有這麼多朋友可以一起做。

And things in the city just cost more.

城裡的東西就是貴。

Thankfully, I've come up with some strategies to help save money and make the most of your budget.

幸好，我想出了一些策略，幫助您節省開支，充分利用預算。

First, you can consider your housing options.

首先，您可以考慮您的住房選擇。

Sharing an apartment with roommates or choosing a location slightly further from the city center can significantly reduce rent costs.

與室友合租公寓或選擇離市中心稍遠的地點可以大大降低房租成本。

Additionally, you should take advantage of public transportation.

此外，您還應利用公共交通。

Food is another key area to pay attention to.

食品是另一個需要關注的關鍵領域。

You can save so much money by cooking at home instead of dining out.

在家做飯比外出就餐省錢多了。

To lower grocery bills, shop at local markets and use meal prep plans.

為了降低食品雜費，可在當地市場購物並使用餐前準備計劃。

When you do eat out, look for deals, happy hours, or use apps that offer discounts.

外出就餐時，尋找優惠、歡樂時光或使用提供折扣的應用程序。

Entertainment doesn't have to be costly either.

娛樂活動也不一定要花錢。

Many cities offer free or low-cost events such as museum days, outdoor concerts, and community festivals.

許多城市提供免費或低費用的活動，如博物館日、戶外音樂會和社區節日。

Libraries also provide free access to books, movies, and sometimes even digital resources like ebooks and streaming services.

圖書館還免費提供書籍、電影，有時甚至提供電子書和流媒體服務等數字資源。

And make sure to be careful with utilities.

另外，一定要注意公用設施的使用。

Small things like turning off lights when you're not using them, using energy-efficient appliances, and regulating heating and cooling can lead to lower utility bills.

不用電時關燈、使用節能電器、調節供暖和製冷等小事都能降低水電費。

By making small adjustments and being resourceful, you'll enjoy city life without breaking the bank.

只要稍作調整，並善於利用資源，您就能在不花一分錢的情況下享受城市生活。

Alright guys, I hope this was helpful for you.

好了，夥計們，希望這對你們有所幫助。

I encourage you to keep practicing this over and over to the point that you don't have to rely on the script so that you can build your fluency.

我鼓勵你們堅持反覆練習，直到不需要依賴腳本，這樣才能提高流利程度。

Stay tuned for more videos like this in the future.
