Lesson89 A slip of the tongue
People will do anything to see a free show--even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!’

今天事情特别多,然后晚上去回家真的就完全进入不了学习的状态,真的庆幸自己把学习的时间定在了每天早上,不然可能不会坚持得这么好~这两天觉得很疲惫,要赶紧调整状态。
