练习材料：

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since eight o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.

The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweller's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars.

今天春节，一直在想着抽出哪里的时间来做练习。发现原来吃完饭之后的时间是最好的，其他的时间里要么有亲戚在屋子里，要么我又去了别处。因此，吃完饭之后的时间才是最佳练习时间。

这篇文章中，jeweller和jeweller's这两个词有点难读，可能是因为有/ʤ/这个音标存在，再加上有/u/和/wə/助力，非常绕口的感觉。

练习感悟：

时间就像海绵，挤一挤总是有的。
