Lesson40 Food and talk
Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
' A new play is coming to" The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?' ' No,' she answered. 'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.
' Will you be staying in England?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
' Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'
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:
hostess,conversation,talk,both,coming,enjoy.(持续改正发音进行中)
2.音标(L1)
练习了/dʒ/,发音时先做好/t∫/的动作,然后通过声带处的震动形成声音,与/t∫/的音很像。
练习感悟:
训练量保持在基本的L0+L1+L4,进步的量有点小。现在一天的时间,没课的时候就是看书、睡觉、读英语、吃饭,现在的英语练习目标也就是维持水平慢慢进步了。刚刚看完书才到床上,明天的目标是把时间利用的更有效率。
一句话,就是干。
