Lesson80 The Crystal Palace

Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

练习感悟：

个人感觉朗读英语进步的速度有点缓慢，最近一段时间每天朗读英语花半小时左右，听自己的跟读觉得和原文相似度一直就在那个水平，是该增大投入的时候了，虽然在练习CATTI，但也不能拿这个理由来放松对其他练习的投入，既然要练就给我好好练，否则一直在原地填一个坑，不如不练，打死都别碰。

一句话，就是干。
