 L4-(2): The double life of Alfred Bloggs

Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

任务配置：L0+L4

笔记：overalls 工作服，status地位，注意与statues雕像的区别。

感悟：今天一直把status的音发成statues后面查音标才发现两个词的不同，还是得细心点，不能想当然。
