Lesson50 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.

练习感悟:
有一个很值得思考的问题:
如果你在学习,并且学的东西在将来可能很有用,那么你为何不在自己的能力范围内,把需要学的东西吃透呢,而不是仅仅只学某一个专项?
学习新知识可以不局限于需要精确掌握的范围,那样看似效率会高,但是在人的记忆方面,大脑形成深刻的记忆的途径,除了死记硬背的长期记忆,另一种就是在知识点和已有的体系之间不断建立新的链接,通过对相关神经元的不断刺激来使连接稳定,通过对学习范围以外的相关知识的深度学习,来达到强化印象的效果。练完朗读,可以把比较常用的短语和特殊表达学习一下,可以在加深单词印象的同时 ,把英语表达能力也提上去了,因为表达也是需要用语的积累的。
一句话,就是干。
