L14(2)：A noble gangster

Six hundred years ago, Sir Johan Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a pictured with as dedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue.

练习感悟:1.在一篇文章看到练习动物叫可以使声音变得有力醇厚、富有感染力。后来发现经常正确发音可以纠正，但是如果动作不到位就会影响音质，今日因为吃东西舌头起泡，导致舌头不灵活，僵硬。(多注意)个别音发不过来。

2.人变懒只需要半克钟，变勤劳的小蜜蜂需要很久很久。(感悟)
