L7(2):Mutilated ladies
John had very good day and put his wallet containing $3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping.
Then he and Jane went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash!John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle: the Mutilate Ladies!They examined the remains and John got all his money back.
'So long as there's something to identify, we will give people their money back,' said a spokeswoman for the Bank.
'Last year, we paid $1.5m on 21,000 claims.'

練習(xí)感悟:
開始練習(xí)復(fù)述,練復(fù)述之前已經(jīng)跟讀了很多次,這時候其實是能靠回想復(fù)述出來的。聽完一遍原文,紙上寫了原文的前半部分的一些詞,越往后只能聽然后用腦子記了,后來做復(fù)述的時候,速度還是有點慢,因為幾乎每一句都得想一秒才能復(fù)述的出來,而且并不流暢。明天改一改記錄方法,繼續(xù)復(fù)述。
一句話,就是干。
