Lesson52 A pretty carpet

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

练习感悟：

今天不知道为什么感觉练习的状态特别好啊，不仅效率很高注意力很集中，念的效果也相对不错，夹杂了一些感情处理。

可能是昨天心情很好，连带着今天开心吧。

昨天为了拍摄弹钢琴的片段，穿着礼服在学校晃了一圈……深深感受到腐朽资本主义的好闻气息。
