有好多学生在平常的英语学习中，通过大量的阅读和写英语日记的方法记了很多单词和句型，但是到了跟老外实战交流的时候，却什么也说不出来。我的分析是：他们记单词的时候只是用眼睛把单词记在脑子里，他们的嘴没有动，没有发音去刺激自己的听觉，所以整体上缺乏“语商”的练习，下面我给大家提供两大法宝来训练你们的脸部肌肉：

　　第2大法宝——孩子的饮食表

　　The Miracle Toddler Diet

　　Over the years you may have noticed, as I have, that most two-year-olds are trim. It came to me one day over a cup of black coffee and a carrot that perhaps their diet is the reason. After consultation with pediatricians, X-ray technicians, and distraught moms, I was able to formulate this new diet. It is inexpensive, offering great variety and sufficient quantity. Before embarking on the diet, however, be sure to check with your doctor°≠otherwise you might have to see him afterward. Good luck!

　　°˙DAY ONE

　　Breakfast: One scrambled egg, one piece of toast with grape jelly. Eat 2 bites of egg, using your fingers; dump the rest on the floor. Take 1 bite of toast, then smear the jelly over your face and clothes.

　　Lunch: Four crayons (any color), a handful of potato chips, and a glass of milk (3 sips only, then spill the rest).

　　Dinner: A dry stick, two pennies and a nickel, 4 sips of stale beer.

　　Bedtime Snack: Toast piece of bread and toss it on the kitchen floor.

　　°˙DAY TWO

　　Breakfast: Pick up stale toast from kitchen floor and eat it. Drink half bottle of vanilla extract or one vial of vegetable dye.

　　Lunch: Half a tube of “Pulsating Pink” lipstick and a cigarette (to be eaten, not smoked). One ice cube, if desired.

　　Afternoon Snack: Lick an all-day sucker until sticky, take outside, drop in dirt. Retrieve and continue slurping until it is clean again. Then bring inside and drop on rug.

　　Dinner: A rock or an uncooked bean, which should be thrust up your left nostril. Pour iced tea over mashed potatoes; eat with a spoon.

　　°˙DAY THREE

　　Breakfast: Two pancakes with plenty of syrup, eat with fingers, rub in hair. Glass of milk: drink half, stuff pancakes in glass. After breakfast, pick up yesterday’s sucker from rug, lick off fuzz, and put it on the cushion of your best chair.

　　Lunch: Three matches, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Spit several bites onto the floor. Pour glass of milk on table and slurp up.

　　Dinner: Dish of ice cream, handful of potato chips, some wine, coffee.

　　°˙FINAL DAY

　　Breakfast: A quarter-tube of toothpaste (any flavor), bit of soap, an olive. Pour a glass of milk over bowl of corn flakes, add a half-cup of sugar. Once cereal is soggy, drink milk and feed cereal to dog.

　　Lunch: Eat crumbs off kitchen floor and dining room carpet. Find that sucker and finish eating it.

　　Dinner: A glass of spaghetti and chocolate milk. Leave meatball on plate. Stick of mascara for dessert.
