CD 3 Track 63 录音下载
You should be pretty familiar with the idea of a set phrase by now. The next step is when you have more components that link together to form a new thing—a three-word set phrase. Combine three things: finger + nail + clipper. Leave the stress on the first word: fíngernail clipper. Although you are now using three words, they still mean one new thing. Write your own sentences, using the word combinations from the previous exercises.
