Place it in the fridge and chill until it’s set. This should take 5 to 6 hours but overnight is preferred. You can also set it aside in the freezer to have an ice cream consistency. Serve and enjoy your no bake Oreo cheesecake.

【英文聽力要學好，先分好這兩件事情】a state-of-the-art article

上一篇文章我們談到了，如果一句話聽不到的時候，要怎麼剖析自己需要加強的地方（因為不是所有的聽不到、聽不好都跟聽力不好有關係)。

這一篇文章要以Top-down approach 和 bottom-up approach 來跟大家分析，練習英文聽力時，要注意的事情。

大多人在練習英文聽力時，想到的都偏向 bottom-up approach 的面向，如:
1. 發音 (pronunciation)
2. 抑揚頓挫 (intonation)
3. 連音 (connected speech)、消音 (deletion)
4. 字的重音 (stressed syllables) 和字間連結等等。(and more)

這些面向雖重要，在教學過程中，也會發現學生也可能會「每一句話都了解，但句子間的關係沒弄懂 -- focusing on individual sentences, missing the relationship between ideas」那樣也會造成有聽沒有懂。

因此，除了跟「聲音」相關係的部分要注意外，也要採取 top-down approach 來聽。而Top-down approach 著重

(1) 對話/演說的重點、主題、背景 (gist, main ideas, topic, and setting of the text)
(2) 資訊與資訊的關係 (general information or details)
(3) 資訊的整理 (how the speaker sequences the information)
(4) 對於內容的猜測 (inferencing, guessing, predicting)

大家要記得，母語人士、亦或聽力很好的人一定是不管有意識到、無意識到、還是些微意識到地同時使用這兩個approaches 在聽，才能培養出好的listening skills. (Skilled listeners simultaneously engage in top-down and bottom-up processing, using both types of skills to construct meaning. )

下一篇文章，我們將討論可以看電影來練習英文聽力嗎？電影和美劇的英文是不是最好學英文聽力的管道？此問題。

Feel free to share the article! Happy listening!

Hi, everyone. :) Today we'll show you how to make a delicious classic dessert: Classic New York Cheesecake.

There are so many different types of cheesecakes, and each one has its own unique recipe and ingredients. But New York cheesecake is my favorite dessert. It tastes fantastic and ultra-rich, creamy and dense. New York cheesecake uses digestive biscuits in the bottom, and a cream cheese base, and sour cream to create a lighter and denser taste.

This recipe doesn’t require a water bath, so it’s easy even for beginners. And no worry it’ll be cracks or sinking. The cake is classic and perfect. Hope you like. Enjoy. :)
