P2 Review

1 计划2h，实际3h。发现改写句子超出预计时间，为了找词搭在谷歌上花费了不少时间，但是觉得这样效率不高。

2 我的固定搭配输入不足，导致写的搭配自己都觉得很生硬。写作的时候也不能写一个句子就查一次搭配吧？是否需要像背单词一样输入一些词搭做日常练习？是否有相关的书籍可以推荐？感谢看到这个问题的朋友了，求解答。

3 忘了中文感想和总结，补充如下。

P3 Impression

哦，没啥感想呢…最打动的情节就是Sex的描写，特别是M与J第一次相遇就干柴烈火一把，J觉得他们是适合彼此的，后来被女儿的去世打击，他第一下想到的也是M的身体，想要用她身体的重量来缓解自己的压力。想起来米兰昆德拉的《生命中不能承受之轻》的Sex,那是情人中的一种无声交流。轻与重，灵与肉，生命与虚无，可能就是那么一回事。所以J小出轨，跟与女儿相同背影的助教，在情节上也是合理的，好期待后面会怎样…若是助教小姐自此成路人，我作为读者会很失望的…

P4 Summary

Lydia is dead.The story named Everything I never told you starts in an unusual way, and thousands of questions is unleashed by it: Is it a suicide or murder ? How does it happen? Is there any witness or insider? Celeste Ng use these suspense and arise everyone's interest successfully. As a woman writer with spiritual sympathy  and rich emotion, she use her talent of literature depict a upset girl who chose to leave the world instead of expose her secret to anyone.

With these questions I started reading this novel and try to dig deeper to find more information like a detective. However it is not a detective story which give us clear and effective clues and help us find the killer behind it step by step. The following chapters supplied me other information, such as the love story of Lydia's parents, a fight happened on her funeral, and even the smallest details of her parents life, but nothing about Lydia's life. These plots seem to be irrelevant and unnecessary with this case at first glance, however, play an important role in the story . 

It confused me when I read the piece that Lydia's mother find all her dairy book is blank. How weird it is ! Every family member had a dark side hid deeply and Lydia seems to be the only one without secret. It is a common sense in psychology that the problem from family of original may lead to a serious mental trauma of next generation. If only Lydia has knew his parent's secret and met some wise person who direct the way of comprehension to her, the tragedy may not happen.

If the tragedy was inevitable, may Lydia have peace and pleasure in heaven.
