练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉:

    Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as "prizefighters". However, boxing was very crude, for these were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match. One of the most colorful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves  was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In this day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.

    Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him.

Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了（朗读20遍 and 音标 and 复述）

New tasks: 搞定这两本书，可以对学习成长这件事有个整体的框架知识，可以了解各个阶段的不一样，就可以提点如何精进。

    - 《刻意练习》，已经读完，写好review。

    - 《刻意学习》，开始读，目的为了了解整个学习成长过程中的各个阶段的变化。

besides，AAT课程，可以在学习新概念三的时候开始看了，了解究竟如何发音，而不是现在简单的读到流畅然后不知道如何更“像”native speaker，不知道如何提高。
