练习材料:Lesson 14 Do you speak English?
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town,when the young man suddenly said,very slowly, ' Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

练习感悟:好些单词读起来好熟悉,但拼写起来不是少胳膊就是少腿,才发现原来经常自认为发的音还不错的单词,今天突然发现一直都读错了,但纠正起来好难,慢慢来吧!今天一直在想,嗯,就这样每天读下来,不知道坚持一年后(当然目前不知道还能坚持多久),会有什么变化?走着瞧吧!
