Hi,everybody.I'm Shelly,happy to see you again.So quickly,it is already to the chapter two about Michael in his friend's eyes.
由于近几次呢，此类文章均为分享内容，我想您可能在浏览之余觉得多少有点枯燥！（前不久有个可爱的小伙伴偷偷告诉我：视频语速太快，有的单词也不认识，根本听不懂！本想提升英语学习兴趣的我，这样一来，原本就不怎么高涨的热情不就又被打回原型了嘛…）
听到这样的回复，很想说声：我太认同了。但由于分享内容本身的局限性及其他因素的制约，因此未能如愿做到心底的那份趣味性……
鉴于此，今日此篇文章我将加上部分详解来加以说明，进而帮助我们更好学习此门语言，如果可以帮到您一点点，我也会很开心~
温馨提示：文章稍长，建议您给自己一个坚持看下去的勇气，相信看完文章的你也会有所收获。（视频帮助您纠音，但我更希望您投入到麦当娜的感人演讲中去…）
