[Speedy Reader]开贴记录一下孩子的英语学习进程

8天的假期，每天的听读仍然坚持着，就是出游的两天也没拉下，还把树屋带上了。
最近听到泰坦尼克号了，貌似她开始对树屋故事慢慢有了一点兴趣。
本来树屋是只作为听力资料，最近她自己加上了跟读，听一遍读一遍，虽然不多，但总比没有强啊。
平时仍然是听读新概念，不知道进行到哪里了。
每天早车上听SBS，也不知道听进去多少，就当是背景吧。
希望网络课快快恢复。

小小还是很认真的呀，听一遍还跟读一遍。骐没看过的不肯听，都是先看一遍，然后再听，喜欢的听好几遍

十一月份开Harry Potter，这个消息实在太吸引人了。
Helen一向反对我买书，唯有英文版的Harry Potter是她指定我买的，算得上是她自己要的第一套书。
中文版的是借着来看的，英文版的买回来后看她翻过好几次，大概是想钻一下，但是难度太大，明显力不从心。
特别希望她能上这个课，但不知道她的水平是不是离入学标准太远呢？

今天有道学堂的文章是关于减肥，这4种食物绝对不能碰。留存一下，给我和小小做个警示。

All the while, you should be avoiding foods that offer empty calories or no nutritional value. There are a lot of these types of food out there — but here are some of the worst.

1. Soda

Soda is said to be the leading source of empty calories. It is filled with nothing but sugar and offers absolutely no nutritional value. In short, it fills your body with a great deal of calories but zero nutrition. If you drink soda on a regular basis, you will be susceptible to gaining weight. See for instance, a can or 330 ml of Coke contains around 160 calories. This means that if you drink one can of Coke every single day, you will end up with 4800 extra calories or 1.4lbs at the end of a month and 57, 600 extra calories or 16.8lbs in a year.

2. Alcohol

If you want to lose weight fast, you need to stay away from all the booze. Like soda, alcohol also contains only empty calories and has no nutritional value. It does not in any way satisfy your appetite or give you the feeling of fullness, so it does not keep you from eating less food but still adds a sizable amount of calories to your diet. They also have this tendency of loosening up your resolve to lose weight and make you eat without thinking. And lastly, being a depressant, alcohol slows down your metabolism. Drinking a can of beer is like gulping down the same amount of calories you get when you eat 3 whole apples.

3. Trans Fat

Trans fat, which is found in many fried and processed foods, is said to be the worst form of fat. Studies reveal that a person whose calorie consumption is composed of 8% calories from trans fat is bound to gain 7.2 percent increase in body weight in 8 years time. Trans fat does not only trigger weight gain but also cause fat from other regions of the body to be transferred and stored to the abdominal region. The best way to avoid trans fat is to keep away from processed food. When buying products, check the label or ingredient list for words like partially hydrogenated, hydrogenated, high stearate, and stearic rich.

4. Refined Grains

Basically, refined grains include white flour, white bread, white rice, white pasta and their derivatives. These are what nutritionists often label as “bad carbohydrates.” They are termed as such because they are mostly responsible for many people’s weight gain and are also associated with many degenerative diseases. Refined grains are stripped of their fiber and nutritional contents as they are processed, leaving only sugar, starch and an enriched taste. Starch and sugar tend to get converted to fat and stored in the body; hence, making people fat. If you want to lose weight without totally eliminating grains from your diet, go for whole grains or whole grain products.

能翻译成中文吗，亲？我也要减肥

大大姑娘

简单说来就是这4种食物绝对不能吃：
1、苏打水、碳酸水饮料。主要就是可乐，全是热量，没有营养。
2、酒精类。也是无营养食品，而且喝酒时难免会不知不觉吃很多菜。
3、反式脂肪。最坏的脂肪，主要指油炸和加工食品类，这种食品不但使人增肥而且主要会使腹部脂肪堆积。 如果不得不买加工类食品，就看看里面有没有“氢化”或者“硬脂酸”这类字眼。
4、精制的谷物。白米、白面等原料做的食品，在制造过程中去掉了大量粗纤维和营养，使得口感很好，但是剩下的糖和淀粉使人不但容易长胖还会得退化性疾病。要多吃全麦食品，大米最好也带点稻壳的那种。

没等我给小小提起这个话题，她就真的开始减肥了，周末除了早饭吃的多一些，午饭只吃一点零食，晚饭也很少吃肉了。
于是我跟她说了这几类食物，她这两天也不喝饮料了。

骐同学严重需要减肥

英语月考没进前五，听力和阅读全对，错在音标和语法。外教课上异常活跃，说老师似乎讲的是SBS的内容。想提高成绩恐怕还是要做题，但是我更愿意让她继续加强听读，并且能进一步开始原版阅读。不知这个想法对吗？成绩倒并不是首要问题。

周末正常上课，我拿着书坐旁边，想蹭着听听，结果被暴力推出书房。
也不知道她最近上课情况如何。
现在是周一到周四听读新概念，每天一课，大概是听2读2吧，大概进行到30课。
周五到周日听MTH，因为20本之后，一个故事听完比较长，建议她分2天听，结果她执意一天一本绝不打折。
照这个速度，我得赶紧找下一个长篇故事听了，目前还没有任何想法。HP太难，还得再等等。
