Lesson76 April Fools Day

'To end our special news bulletin,' said the voice of the television announcer,' we are going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Ricardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cart-loads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April 1st. We are now going back to the studio.'

心得感悟:

今天的朗读练习了好长时间，刻意去模仿录音中的语音语调，感受升降调带来的节奏感。但还是感觉有些困难，目前对升降调的把握也不是很准确。今天早起参加了s老师带领的早起晨读训练营，期待跟着老师学习的这一个月能扎扎实实突破语音语调问题。早起晨读和新概念朗读打卡会占用一定的时间，这对未来一个月还在写毕业论文的我来说是个很大挑战，不过分清事情的轻重顺序，把时间安排给重要的事情，把握好自己的生活节奏，也是可以做到兼顾和平衡的。

今天是新概念朗读持续行动的第76天，能走到今天还是克服了很多困难，主动抵制住很多诱惑。持续的行动，让我不再害怕时间的流逝，反而能静心专注去做好手头的任何一件事情，真是意料之外的收获。
