新概念英语第二册 Lesson 54: Sticky fingers
After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to shops. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some meat pies. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!

练习感悟:
Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了(朗读+复述)。
- 我注意到我一个发音朗读的问题,就是每个句子开始的几个单词甚至就是开头的单词,总是读的很重。导致听起来顿挫感很强,不够流畅。要练习轻柔地切入句子,在关键的单词处重读,比如exactly,persuade,重读。
- 通过复述这个环节,让自己从被动型的学习转向主动性的学习,主动去理解文章的发展顺序和逻辑,主动去记一些典型的句型。
