Lesson 28(1) Five pounds too dear

Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything until I had disembarked. I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.

重新看了一遍Rachel关于e的发音视频。just relax your mouth, stretch your tongue, then everything is done.

今天的复述比昨天进步了一些，只记录了关键的单词，但是还是写了太多自己的话，感觉大脑都已经习惯不思考了，如果不写完整就会开始磕巴。

昨天文章的复述，我觉得难在我没有注意到文章一直在用a tramp在描述，在最后We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, 还有envious of写的时候用of，第二遍写的时候又写了about，念的时候发现用about马上就发现不对了，复述真的会发现很多细节。
