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!

练习感悟：

朗读的时候按着课文的语气，该重音的读重音，语调该升就升该降就降，发音很舒服很流畅一次过无时差（实际上是读完之后，一下碰到了发送键哈哈哈），听上去就和讲故事一样。基本任务的完成是近阶段的任务，好好地做也可以进步。有趣的现象是，今天截至23：35，新概念朗读的文章投稿数量一共22篇，比半个月前又减少了一半，有好几天下来看到群里的消息，一天都累积未达200条，真是越来越少了啊，坚持做一件事有那么难吗？我无法了解，那群放弃了朗读的朋友是如何认为的，但我的的确确看到了，坚持到现在还在练习的朋友，他们的进步显而易见。有的朋友从刚开始的音标都没有几个能读对，而现在朗读的整体发音已经很连贯，甚至复述都能做的比较清楚；有些朋友基础好一些，提升空间小一点，但是现在也能比两个月前更流畅，更有英语的感觉；从自己的角度出发，我练完了至少一遍所有音标，现在的朗读发音有点接近录音的原文，有时自己听都会觉得是外国人在讲话。而且在养成了坚持朗读的好习惯以后，再做其它的事情时也更自律有目标。坚持朗读能带来的好处太多了，只需要花一点时间，每天投入相应的精力，就可以让自己一直提升，坚持下去是多好的事情啊，我只想说，明明是一条风景优美的坦途，如果运气好走上了这条路，那就一直走下去，才是理性的、明智的、应该有的选择，S君坚持每天一篇文章坚持了1000天以上，朗读到现在才多久呢？能坚持一直做下去的，很大概率会取得英语口语上的巨大进步，而且一方面的进步是可以拉动人的各个方面进步的，这么浅显的道理，能好好去实践的人缺太少了。希望在朗读的这条路上100天后人不会太少，人多才更有力量前进。

一句话，就是干。
