First listen and then answer the question
Where was the Statue of Liberty made?
One of the most famous monuments in the world,the Statue of Liberty,was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France,The great statue,which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholddi,took ten years to complete,The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel,Before it could be transported to the United States,a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built.The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour,By 1884 ,a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris,The following year,it was taken to pieces and sent to America,By the end of October 1886,the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi,Ever since then,the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the milions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

训练任务:今儿又是一上午的练习早上6:15起床,6:30的晨读学习,完后马上解决最棘手的问题,新概念朗读,现在感觉每一篇都很难,倒不是音标的难,借一句话细思极恐,当你知道大部分的音标,力求把舌头做到每一个音标的发音,一个单词读时感觉很简单,整句,整篇连起来时就崩溃了,今天也是,单词很简单,整篇读下来就崩溃了,感觉整个舌头都绕进去了,整个的人的情绪非常紧张,在读时喉咙和身体都紧绷,非常专注,但是发现越是这样,越是无法正常发挥。在晨读群里学习的音标,学习完后读新概念后才知道怎么虐自己,不过倒是很庆幸,庆幸自己遇到这个坎儿,我想这是有进步空间的,因为自己已经意识到什么是正确的,只是舌头的转换跟不上而且,剩下的就是大量的烧脑练习了。
