情景对话
Emir：Hi, Paul. I made you a cup of tea. Just how you like it, milk and two sugars.
Paul：Oh, thanks, Emir.
Emir：You're welcome. So what do you do when you're not working?
Paul：Oh, umm, not much. I'm always really tired in the evenings and at weekends.
Emir：Haven't you got any hobbies?
Paul：Well, I've recently started doing meditation.
Emir：I didn't know you did meditation. I do too!
Paul：Oh, right. So, um, how often do you practise?
Emir：Most mornings usually, but if it's really busy, then sometimes it's hard to find time.
Paul：Yeah, I know what you mean. I normally meditate once or twice a week. I never have enough time to do it more than that.
Emir：What are you doing now?
Paul：Nothing much, just drinking my tea …
Emir：嗨，Paul。我泡了杯茶给你。照你喜欢的方式，加牛奶和两块糖。
Paul：哦，谢了，Emir。
Emir：不客气。那你不上班的时候都做些什么？
Paul：哦，嗯，也没做什么。我晚上和周末都累得不行。
Emir：你没有什么兴趣爱好吗？
Paul：这个嘛，我最近开始学冥想了。
Emir：我都不知道你有在冥想。我也有做呢！
Paul：哦，是吗。那你多久练一次？
Emir：大部分早上都会练，但如果特别忙的话，有时候真的挤不出时间。
Paul：嗯，我懂你的意思。我通常一周冥想一到两次。再多我真的没那个时间了。
Emir：你现在在做什么？
Paul：没什么，就喝喝茶……

发音 / 语调提示
- "How often do you...?" 里 often 有两种常见读法（有些人会读出中间的 t，有些人不读），重点是重音要放在 OF-ten 的第一个音节。
- "I didn't know you did meditation" 这句 didn't 要读得清楚、带一点重音，才能表达出"我是真的不知道"的惊讶感，含糊读过去会显得没什么反应。
- once or twice a week 这类频率短语，重音落在 once 和 twice 上，week 读得轻而快，整体节奏要连贯，不要把四个词平均用力读断。
