情景对话
Noelia：Morning, Bob.
Bob：Oh, good morning.
Noelia：It's so rainy today. The weather in this country is horrible!
Bob：Yes … yes … The weather was even worse when I lived in Canada.
Noelia：Oh, I didn't know that you lived in Canada, Bob. How cool!
Bob：One winter it was so cold and windy that I fell on the ice and broke my leg in three places.
Noelia：Oh no! You're joking!
Bob：I wish I was, Noelia, I wish I was. I was never the same after that winter. And my leg is still bad today.
Noelia：Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Poor you.
Bob：But it's not all bad. I met my wife in the hospital. She was the doctor who looked at my leg!
Noelia：No way!
Bob：It was love at first sight!
Noelia：Ah, that's brilliant!
Bob：Yes, and we're still in love 40 years later …
Noelia：So in the end, breaking your leg was the best thing that could have happened.
Bob：Yes, I suppose it was!
Noelia：早安，Bob。
Bob：哦，早安。
Noelia：今天雨好大。这个国家的天气太糟糕了！
Bob：是啊……是啊……我住在加拿大的时候天气更糟。
Noelia：哦，我都不知道你住过加拿大呢，Bob。太酷了！
Bob：有一年冬天冷到又刮风，我在冰上摔倒，腿断成三处。
Noelia：哦不！你在开玩笑吧！
Bob：我也希望是开玩笑，Noelia，真的希望是。那年冬天之后我整个人都不一样了。到现在我的腿还是不太好。
Noelia：真的吗？听你这么说我很难受。你也真是可怜。
Bob：不过也不全是坏事。我在医院认识了我太太。她就是帮我看腿的医生！
Noelia：不会吧！
Bob：那真是一见钟情！
Noelia：哇，太浪漫了！
Bob：是啊，我们四十年后依然相爱……
Noelia：所以说到底，摔断腿反而是发生在你身上最好的事。
Bob：是啊，我想也是这样吧！

发音 / 语调提示
- 这类"回应型"短语（How cool!、No way!、That's brilliant!）全都要读出夸张一点的语调起伏，声音要有明显的高低变化，平淡念出来对方会觉得你其实没在认真听。
- "You're joking!" 里 joking 重音在第一音节 JOK-ing，整句用上扬语调收尾，表示不敢相信、带点惊讶。
- "I'm sorry to hear that" 语速要放慢、语气放软，跟前面兴奋的回应（How cool!）形成对比，才能表达出真心的同情而不是敷衍。
