学习英语一点都不难。任何一个学好了英语的人都会发现,只要听够一定量的材料,阅读够一定量的材料,练习一定量时间对话一定可以轻轻松松的学会英语。 那么为什么英语还是中国人的老大难问题呢?因为不知道读什么。因为读的时候挫折感太大。读小学英语课本每个单词都认识没有意思。但是读新闻,真的找本英文书看,不会的单词太多太挫折,一个词一个词的去查去发音太麻烦了。 英语轻松读就是我们针对已经有一定英语阅读能力的人群推出的阅读辅助工具。 你只需要简单的选择你的大致英语词汇水平(事后随时可修改),我们就可以在新闻正文里面自动给你可能不理解的词语加上短注释来提示你。这样即使一篇新闻你有一半以上的生词,你仍旧可以非常快速轻松的阅读它。 *小窍门,你不需要马上牢牢记住那些生词。你只要多阅读,用这个app,你可以轻松的积累你对真实世界英语的词汇量,语感和理解。记住,一切只跟你曝光的词汇量有关系。 即使有些词系统没有自动标出,你也直接点击任何一个单词,哪里不会点哪里,你都不需要单独买个点读机…… 细节功能太多,我们随便列举一些: - 聚合各种主流新闻媒体的新闻 - 自动辅助阅读 - 点击查词,自动发声 - 支持黑夜模式 - 热门列表 - 阅读历史 - 稍后阅读 - 生词表 - 已知单词自动隐藏提示 - 可以针对Safari浏览的英文页面打开阅读辅助功能 等等 应用内订阅 – 以27.99美元/年或2.99美元/月的价格购买黄金会员的月费。 – 您将以您当地的货币按iTunes规定的现行汇率进行收费。 – 付款将于确认购买时从iTunes帐户中扣除。 – 在有效的订阅期间,不允许取消目前的订阅。 – 除非在当期结束前至少24小时关闭自动更新,否则订阅将自动更新。 – 订阅由你的iTunes帐户管理,购买后可在帐户设定中关闭自动续订。
