Lesson20 One man in a boat
Fishing is myfavorite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this doesnot worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catchold boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything-not evenold boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home withan empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.' It's a waste oftime.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested infishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

音标:/f/ 上齿轻触下唇,用力将气息由唇齿之缝隙间吹出。
练习感悟: 通常让人放弃的,并没有一个非常明显的界限,而是在日常生活的消耗中不知不觉就不再坚持与努力了。要是没有每天必做任务,最近激情确实几乎没有了。
