Lesson 1 A private conversation
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'

②知识点:could在tophonetics上面查到是显示kəd,但是根据以往听到的我又去查了下词典,发现美音中也可以用kʊd来标注,enjoy这里现实ɛnˈʤɔɪ,但也可以用ɪn'ʤɔɪ来表示,单词可能是有多种单词标注方式的,而且同一个符号读音是不同的。如enjoy和end中的e在tophonetics上都是用ɛ来表示,但是两个的读音是稍有区别的。
③知识点:在美音中长元音是没有:的,以往用来区分长元音和短元音的方式就不太适用。
练习感悟:不能贪图方便就只依靠tophonetics来查单词的音标,还是需要自己查一次。而且对于音标的读法跟以往的认识是不同的,以前都是英音美音混用,所以现在看到音标也是混乱的,先把音标重新认识一遍是必要的。练习时对于不熟练的词就会明显拖沓。本来以为一分钟的文章半小时就能搞定了,但事实上是花了差不多2个小时,一练起来才发现到处都是需要注意的点。尽管前阵子有练习过音标,但一天没练就退步了。
