Lesson69 But not murder!

I was being tested for a driving license for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, 'Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.' I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr. Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice,' you have just killed that child!'

心得感悟:以前在练习时,一般是自己先读一遍,再听一句录音自己读一句,很少跟着录音读。今天回过头去看了s老师在开班仪式上讲解的具体练习方法，才发现漏了一个环节，就是整体上跟着录音读。跟着录音读在刚开始几遍，基本上跟不上录音的节奏，但练习几遍后就能大体上跟上录音的节奏。
