Lesson 50 Taken for a ride
I love traveling in the country, but I don't like losing my way. I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected. ' I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,' but I don't know where it is.' ' I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
' You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'
' Is this Woodford Green ?' I asked. 'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.' I forgot to put you off.' 'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.' 'We are going back now,' said the conductor. 'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.

知识笔记:
发【ʌ】的嘴型:
元音【ɔ】的嘴型:
练习感悟:
prefer/prəˈfɜr /这个词跟着原声念了很久,找不到什么感觉,感觉跟我平时念的不一样,应该是在第二个音节升调了,很不习惯~
country中y的音念的太长了,不好听
passenger中ʤər连在一块儿时,我发的ʤ有时候不好听,还是要多多练习;
conductor也是,有时候念的不好听。
所以,重新录了一遍,
发现,passenger还是念的不好听。
