▍原文
Britons are increasingly shunning traditional funerals in favour of more unusual send-offs, which last year included a McDonald's-themed drivethrough event and a service for a magician where the undertakers wore red noses.
Two-fifths of UK adults now want their funeral to be a celebratory affair, according to Co-op Funeralcare, while soaring demand for personalisation means the provider has seen requests for alternative hearses, such as adapted Land Rovers and rainbow-hued vehicles, rise by a fifth in three years.

什么是暴虐版？
暴虐版語音是夏老師以意群為單位進(jìn)行語音示范。
每個(gè)意群示范7遍
2.在每次語音示范后，會留出足夠的空白時(shí)間供各位進(jìn)行跟讀和練習(xí)。
暴虐版使用方法：
1. 小伙伴們需要先掌握生詞的發(fā)音方式和規(guī)律（練習(xí)耗時(shí)，因人而異
2. 再通過先單詞后意群的方式跟隨暴虐版進(jìn)行練習(xí)
3. 通過反復(fù)的朗讀，讓口腔肌肉熟悉且記住意群的流利和滑動感，不斷提升自己語音語調(diào)，連讀技巧，意群的把握。
