Lesson 8 The best and the worst
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
任务配置：L0 L4
学习笔记：competition 复习形容词副词的比较级和最高级。
练习感悟：近期有事儿耽误几天，瞬间觉得欠下的债好多，必须豪补把它补完，昨天把语音补上了，对于语音读一样现在还算可以，但是有些知识点我知道理解但是讲不出来一二三，所以还是要扎实一下。例如这篇课文比较级和最高级，我知道是这部分内容，句子也都理解，但是知识没有框架，没有形成条理，还是要好好学。

Lesson 9 A cold welcome
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.
任务配置：L0 L4
学习笔记：查了hall suddenly复习了一般过去时和现在完成时对比
学习感悟：town hall这两个一起读总是感觉读不好，整篇课文还算读的比较顺利，但是也是一遍一遍不是快了就是慢了，加油吧，三十岁好几还在学新概念，说明之前就没学明白过。

Lesson 10 Not for jazz
We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord(翼琴). It was made in Germany in 2001. Our clavichord is kept in the living-room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
任务配置：L0 L4
学习笔记：被动语态是做谓语的谓语动词＋及物动词的过去分词构成。
即：be+done（be就是谓语动词，done即代指动词的过去式）
既然be继续作为谓语动词，那么它也就是继续和时态一样有相应的变化，而所谓的被动语态无非就是在时态后+done
因此说被动的时候就离不开时态，即被动语态就是在时态的基础之上，体现出被动的含义。
即：be继续扮演时态部分，done来表示被动的语态，且be done视为一个整体即被动语态。
练习感悟：发现我读的文章1681，而我们的资料给的是2001，挺好玩的。这部分读完我觉得我有必要复习一下被动语态和主动语态的语法点。研究研究觉得语法还挺有意思。

Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'
任务配置：L0+ L4
学习笔记：状语从句。
练习感悟：嘿嘿，越来越有感觉了，不管是语法方面还是口语方面，第一句话就让我有想复习一下状语从句的打算，现在对句子的判断精准了些，能够说出一点所以然来，所以还是有进步的，嗯稳步向前。
