五步英文背诵法：
第一步：不看课文听录音5遍
第二步：不看翻译读原文，标出难点并解决
第二步：借助翻译精读课文
第四步：一次一句背课文
第五步：连句成段，最终达到全篇背诵。
说明：本文共两段，根据意群拆分为4个小段。但每个句子能够单独背诵之后，就以这4个小段为目标，连句成段。
Lesson 15——Good news
The secretary told me that Mr Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. 秘书告诉我说哈姆斯沃斯先生要见我。我走进他的办公室，感到非常紧张。
He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. 我进去的时候，他连头也没抬。待我坐下后，他说生意非常不景气。
He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.他还告诉我，公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支，有20个人已经离去。我知道这次该轮到我了。
'Mr Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.'Don't interrupt,' he Said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &1000 a year!“哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我无力地说。“不要打断我的话，”他说。然后他微笑了一下告诉我说，我每年将得到1,000 英镑的额外收入。
重要提示：
1、一定不要忽视前面几个步骤，没有理解的背诵是无用功。
2、背诵时，从句子入手，背会一句才背下一句。
3、同时背了下一句，别忘了及时复习上一句，如此循环。
4、连句成段时，不要心急，慢慢来，搞清逻辑关系，搞清内容。
