练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉文章）：
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.

单词/词组:
- arcade
- admire a new window display
- velvet
- gaze at
- the silence was suddenly broken
- with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade.
- it came to a stop

音标发音: /ə/
现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/ə/这个音。
1）嘴微微张开，嘴唇放松，舌身平放。
2）舌中部伸向硬颚，不要与之接触。
3）口部肌肉和舌头放松，震动声带，气流向外发出/ə/音。
注意：/ə/是中央、不圆唇、非重读元音。

Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了（朗读10遍 and 音标 and 复述）
开始读 American Accent Training，作者提到其实没有什么标准的american accent，因为本身美国各地的口音都不统一，所以尽量做到流畅通顺，同时掌握大多数美国人的发音习惯即可。作者提到了几种不同的发音节奏，后续补上。
