L10(1):The loss of Titanic
The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and crew of 891.
Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At the time,however,she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments.
Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.
Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy water of the North Atlantic, huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout.

练习感悟:
这几天学而思的英语课都上的很不错,哪怕是全靠着电子讲义都能拿下互动题目100%还是开心的。加了两个网校同学的Q,他们都无一例外觉得我英语很好……
其实也并不如何吧,这还真的不是谦辞,可能是期末考试失利送给我的一份礼物,也有可能仅仅是因为发现了世界的庞大而已。
