Lesson 9 A cold welcome
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.

知识笔记:
1.朗读(L0): 提交录音的时长为58秒,原音正文部分59秒左右。
2. 音标(L1):evening /ˈiːvnɪŋ/ we /wi/ people /ˈpiːpl/ twenty /ˈtwɛnti/ Fifteen /ˈfɪfˈtiːn/ Suddenly/ˈsʌdnli/ everybody /ˈɛvrɪbɒdi/
e /iː/
1)张开你的嘴巴,好像你在微笑,露出你的牙齿,嘴唇向两边伸开,成扁平形。
2)将舌前部向硬腭尽量抬起。舌头轻微接触下齿背部。
3)嘴唇绷紧,舌头肌肉保持紧张,震动声带,发出/iː/音。
3. 今天是第九天:/iː/ 和/ɪ/这两个音,由于我们中文是没有对应的两个音,因此对我们来说就没有要区分的概念。这在学习英语发音时造成的一个问题是我们既发不出区别,也没有办法区别英语母语的人说的这两个音。这里要注意的最大区别就是高低了:/iː/是高音,发音部位靠近上颚;/ɪ/比/iː/要低,发音时口腔肌肉要自然和放松得多。比较形象的记忆是发/iː/时相当微笑,眉毛也上翘。
