听力题 M: Hi, Emily, What do you think of our class in Children''s Literature? W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education? M: Yes, I can use this to fulfill the requirement in my course. W: Have you finished the first assignment yet? M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you? W: I started this afternoon. It''s great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Brown. M: Doctor Brown? I don''t remember seeing his name on the reading list. W: His full name is Jonathan Brown Smith. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Brown is his pen name. M: I love reading those stories as a child. It''ll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they''ll give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How''s that? W: Well, take a typical Doctor Brown''s book like The cat in the hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words. M: So that means the children get lots of practice using a small number of words over and over. W: Exactly. In fact The cal in the hat was written mainly to show how a controlled vocabulary reader could also be interesting and fun. M: It sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I''ll get started on those reading tonight.
