练习材料:

L33 [1]：A day to remember

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.

A day may begin well enough,

but suddenly everything seems to get out of control.

What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.

It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions.

Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time.

The telephone rings and this marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.

While you are on the phone,

the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table smashing half your best crockery and cutting himself in the process.

You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, crockery, etc.

Meanwhile,

the meal gets burnt.

As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears,

your husband arrives,

unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

应用配置：L0+L4

练习感悟：今早的课文是在晋江的一个旅馆里录制完成。拿了备用手机看稿子，用另一只手机记录。不算完美，但是也算完成一个小任务。录制完整理准备，今天参加晋江越野50公里的比赛。
