本日音频 · material.mp3
正常 1.0 倍速 · 用于 Step 1 Blind Listening 与 Step 5 Final Listening
今日材料
0-5 分钟 · Blind Listening（盲听）
规则： - 关闭字幕（中英都不开）。 - 正常 1.0 倍速。 - 禁止暂停、禁止倒退。 - 听漏一句就跳，绝不追回。
听后回答（口头或笔头）： 1. Who is talking? 2. What are they talking about? 3. What happened / what is the main point?
📝 答题反思
先盲听，再写下针对性题目的答案用 1-2 句话用自己的话回答下面的问题。点「✨ AI 判断」后，AI 会对照当天 transcript 给出参考要点与评分。
5-10 分钟 · Accent Mapping（口音映射）
目标：把「印度英语的声音」映射成你认识的词。
做法：
- 选刚才盲听时最「卡」的 2-3 个位置。
- 单独重放这些 3-5 秒的小片段，逐词听。
- 在 accent_observations.md 里记录：
- What I heard（你听到了什么音）
- Actual phrase（对照后真实原文）
- Error type（P/B/S/V/G/A/K）
提示： - 别急着下结论「他发音错了」，先问「这是不是印度英语里常见的声音对应」。 - 印度英语个体差异极大，同样的音在不同说话者身上可能完全不同。
错误类型标记： - P = Pronunciation 发音（词被读成另一个音） - B = Word boundary 词边界（没听出词与词的边界） - S = Stress/rhythm 重音/节奏 - V = Vowel quality 元音 - G = Grammar 语法 - A = Accent variation 口音变体 - K = Unknown word 生词
10-18 分钟 · Long Chunk（长段跟随）
做法： - 从头开始连续播放，目标连续跟随 2 分钟连续跟随。 - 中间不暂停（若材料不足目标时长，则一次听完）。 - 只追踪「意思」：谁在讲什么、下一步要做什么。 - 掉线了？Miss it. Drop it. Keep going. - 结束后用 2-3 句英文总结这段讲了什么。
18-25 分钟 · Transcript Check（对照原文）
做法：
打开本目录 transcript_en.txt（官方原文；Day39 为 AUTO_GENERATED 版）。
只对照以下三种问题：
A：单词认识，但声音没听出来。
B：单词认识，但意思反应太慢。
C：真正不知道的表达。
重点：只解决「没听出来」的问题，不做逐句翻译。
把最难的 3 个片段写进 difficult_segments.md。
25-30 分钟 · Final Retest（复测）
做法： - 关闭 transcript 和字幕。 - 从头完整播放（或播放目标长度），禁止暂停。 - 结束后 30-60 秒英文口头复述： Basically, they were talking about… At first… Then… The main point was… In the end… - 对比这次 vs 第一次盲听：理解率是否提升？掉线是否减少？
📊 每日记录
Daily Score
- 理解率：____ %
- 明显掉线次数：____
- 最长连续跟随时间：____
- 需要 transcript 才能理解的比例：____ %
- Accent Adaptation Score（1-10）：____
- 今天最明显的口音障碍（1-3 个）：____
Accent Adaptation Score 定义（1-10）： - 10 = 完全适应：第一次听就几乎不需要看 transcript，印度英语不再是障碍。 - 8-9 = 很好：能连续跟随目标时长，偶尔个别词要靠上下文猜。 - 6-7 = 良好：能跟住主线，但每隔一段会掉线一次，需要重听一句。 - 4-5 = 一般：能抓住大意，但频繁掉线，明显依赖 transcript。 - 1-3 = 困难：大部分听不懂，印度英语的发音/节奏造成严重障碍。

Transcript · 英文原文
先盲听再对照。只找 A（没听出）B（反应慢）C（真不会）三类问题。

Vocabulary · 本日最多 5 个重点
Vocabulary — Day 32

1. to some extent
Expression: to some extent Meaning: 在某种程度上 Original sentence: there are some people like who do understand Hindi to some extent.

2. national language
Expression: national language Meaning: 国家语言（官方语言） Original sentence: though our national language is Hindi, and also the constitutional national language is English.

4. every state has its own language
Expression: every state has its own language Meaning: 每个邦都有自己的语言 Original sentence: Every state has it own language. Our general language. Natural pronunciation note (Indian English): own 在印度英语里接近 /oʊn/，发音饱满。 My own simple paraphrase: 各邦语言不同。 Example: In India, every state has its own language.

Expression: can be able to / should be able to Meaning: 应该能够 Original sentence: I think that every child from India should be able to speak around two to three languages.
