Lesson26(2) Wanted: a large biscuit tin
They offered to pay 10 dollars a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. A little later, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry. The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated, for they bought the biscuit from the student for $ 24,000.

复盘总结#
今天又得知一个小伙伴放弃英语学习,有点感慨。或许真的是因为刚需不够吧!她说因为太忙,我以前也这么觉得,现在有时候也会这么觉得。但其实,回头想想,我们不做某事并不是因为忙,而且骨子里认为这事不重要。
这一次,要么掌握英语这个工具,要么打死不再用英语!话说这么说还有得选吗?当然,就是没得商量,英语这个工具,必须熟练操作!
