Step Two

Download the zip file from the sidebar (desktop/laptop) or below this description (Mobile APP). That zip file contains the following:

• Text tracking video(s) MP4 file(s)
• Audio MP3 file(s)
• Image file of the text & top-down words for your reference

Dialogues contain one text-tracking video file at 80% speed followed by native speed.

父母谁来决定宝宝的长相？妈妈决定宝宝的眼睛和鼻子， 爸爸决定宝宝的嘴巴。如果父母都不白，那这些宝宝一定不会白；如果一个人不白，一个人白，那那些宝宝可能白可能不白。如果父母都高，宝宝长大后一定很高，但如果父母都不高，宝宝长大后也不一定不高。有些人会担心父母长得胖的话，宝宝是不是比别的宝宝容易长胖? 不一定。因为宝宝完全可以多多运动来让自己不会长得太胖。
