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：
1、练习越久，发现的问题越多。
2、stopped and /stɑpt ənd/，习惯尾音做个嘴型就不念出来t的音，不过文章原声都是把尾音念出来，貌似还连读了and，变成了dand，虽然知道，但是一录音就是按照习惯来，很不容易改过来。
3、during的英式跟美式的两种读法，都是读成英式的，最近两篇文章，尝试改过来。
4、明天开始，有更多的任务，要合理分配时间了。
