Lesson64 The Channel Tunnel

In l858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea-level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7, 1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent

知识笔记：1.  W音标学习，would, was ,well,railway.wait  world

练习感悟： 1. 生词较多,读音不够准。2. 一轮48个音标已经学完，下个计划听赖世雄音标。

3. 连个月的读写效果感觉不是很明显，唯独收货的可能是看到音标知道怎么读，能避免大的错误，但是发音精确性还有待提高。

4. 一轮的简书笔记对个人而言意义不是特别大，短暂的时间里将简书这个环节抽掉用来听音标，打算暂停试试看效果。
