Lesson54 Sticky fingers

After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to shops. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some meat pies. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!

練習(xí)感悟：

朗讀的時(shí)候按著課文的語(yǔ)氣，該重音的讀重音，語(yǔ)調(diào)該升就升該降就降，發(fā)音很舒服很流暢一次過(guò)無(wú)時(shí)差（實(shí)際上是讀完之后，一下碰到了發(fā)送鍵哈哈哈），聽上去就和講故事一樣?；救蝿?wù)的完成是近階段的任務(wù)，好好地做也可以進(jìn)步。有趣的現(xiàn)象是，今天截至23：35，新概念朗讀的文章投稿數(shù)量一共22篇，比半個(gè)月前又減少了一半，有好幾天下來(lái)看到群里的消息，一天都累積未達(dá)200條，真是越來(lái)越少了啊，堅(jiān)持做一件事有那么難嗎？我無(wú)法了解，那群放棄了朗讀的朋友是如何認(rèn)為的，但我的的確確看到了，堅(jiān)持到現(xiàn)在還在練習(xí)的朋友，他們的進(jìn)步顯而易見。有的朋友從剛開始的音標(biāo)都沒有幾個(gè)能讀對(duì)，而現(xiàn)在朗讀的整體發(fā)音已經(jīng)很連貫，甚至復(fù)述都能做的比較清楚；有些朋友基礎(chǔ)好一些，提升空間小一點(diǎn)，但是現(xiàn)在也能比兩個(gè)月前更流暢，更有英語(yǔ)的感覺；從自己的角度出發(fā)，我練完了至少一遍所有音標(biāo)，現(xiàn)在的朗讀發(fā)音有點(diǎn)接近錄音的原文，有時(shí)自己聽都會(huì)覺得是外國(guó)人在講話。而且在養(yǎng)成了堅(jiān)持朗讀的好習(xí)慣以后，再做其它的事情時(shí)也更自律有目標(biāo)。堅(jiān)持朗讀能帶來(lái)的好處太多了，只需要花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間，每天投入相應(yīng)的精力，就可以讓自己一直提升，堅(jiān)持下去是多好的事情啊，我只想說(shuō)，明明是一條風(fēng)景優(yōu)美的坦途，如果運(yùn)氣好走上了這條路，那就一直走下去，才是理性的、明智的、應(yīng)該有的選擇，S君堅(jiān)持每天一篇文章堅(jiān)持了1000天以上，朗讀到現(xiàn)在才多久呢？能堅(jiān)持一直做下去的，很大概率會(huì)取得英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)上的巨大進(jìn)步，而且一方面的進(jìn)步是可以拉動(dòng)人的各個(gè)方面進(jìn)步的，這么淺顯的道理，能好好去實(shí)踐的人缺太少了。希望在朗讀的這條路上100天后人不會(huì)太少，人多才更有力量前進(jìn)。

一句話，就是干。
