Lesson32 Shopping made easy
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then停 the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week ! (1'14'')

知识笔记:今天着重练习了早上刚学的音标:/w/,/l/。前者是一个半元音,发音要看后面跟的音。后面是全音标唯一的舌边音,气流从舌头两侧泄出。
练习感悟:练习时间20分钟。今天注意了2处连读,感觉到朗读时不甚流畅,再听再读后感觉好一些。
