Lesson25 Do the English speak English?
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me; I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
任务配置：L0+L1+L4
知识笔记：
1.朗读（L0）
特别注意了几个词的发音：
arrive，London，railway，station，carefully，clearly，understand，question，several，foreigner，language（持续改正发音进行中）
注意了几个词的连读：
did not,in england(连读的部分练得还比较简单，弱读的部分比较难练。understood it的it听上去像省略了一样)
2.音标（L1）
新练的是音标/g/，发音时，舌后部隆起，舌根紧贴软腭，形成阻碍，然后突然张开，气流冲出口腔。
练习感悟：
看到大家提供的各式音标，一个音标有各类不同情况下的变音，解析有一百多字，我就在想我的音标参考必须该换一个来源了。我的音标参考的是缤纷英语听力里的，另外下了一个APP美式音标，附带群里朋友发的一张音标对比表，有时会发现三个信息来源各执一说，太费事。在练习朗读的过程里，连续观察很多天下来，我发现自己的发声用力比较大，这样可能造成肌肉的紧绷，练久了肌肉会麻木，而且发音会有误差。于是今天调整了一下力度，发现轻一点、慢一点读也可以把音发得比较接近。比如Joy Song-河南-行政 的读法，虽然是英音，但是参考价值还是一样。
睡了，明早早起背书！
一句话，就是干。
