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:n/a
练习感悟:练习时长25分钟+4分钟。今天的重点在于 1)把学过的音标读到位,比如after里面的a,usual的嘴型,woman的发音等等。2)感觉到把每个词读得舒展,不用着急,语调可以是第二位练习的。3)最后在复查时发现了一个读错的词——chose,我把o发成了[u]音。
