Lesson42 Not very musical
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

音标专练：清辅音[k]
发音要点：首先舌后部隆起，紧贴软腭，憋住气；
然后舌后部迅速降低，使气流冲出口腔；
发音时，声带不振动。
练习感悟：利用早起时间，分别在晨读课前后各完成一篇朗读，感觉很好。
朗读中不时遇到跟平时发音不一样的单词，究其原因要么是英音美音的差别，要么就是读错。
今天发现的obviously [ˈɑbviəsli]属于读错的范围。通过朗读带动综合学习，加油。
