One advantage of following reading is that it can strengthen the training of pronunciation and intonation. Experts have found that as long as a student can follow and imitate ten standard recordings continuously, his pronunciation and intonation may make great progress. From the teaching practice, it can be seen that students can master the correct pronunciation and intonation, and their listening will be improved quickly. Second, it can cultivate a sense of language and enhance memory. Many English learners will find that some words, sentence patterns and idioms can be recited and blurted out without deliberately memorizing them. Many experiments by language experts have proved that one can only keep short-term memory by memorizing words repeatedly. By listening to others and forming an image in your mind, you can consciously keep it for a relatively long time. But these two methods of memorizing words belong to the category of low-level vocabulary processing, and reading sentences and paragraphs and putting vocabulary into the stream for further processing are the advanced vocabulary processing. This can revitalize the existing vocabulary and maintain long-term or permanent memory. Accumulated a large number of vocabulary, sentence patterns and idioms, cleared the biggest enemy in listening, listening will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Follow-up reading is conducive to the improvement of listening and speaking, but it is only imitation, and variation is conducive to the cultivation of different thinking. After listening to a short passage or dialogue, change the first person into the third person, change the story into a dialogue, change the dialogue into a story, and express the idea again. From imitation to creation, draw inferences from one to the other to achieve mastery. In this way, both thinking ability and oral ability can be exercised and improved.
