练习材料：Lesson 31 Success story 时长：78s
Yesterday afternoon, Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
ˈjɛstədeɪ ˈɑːftə ˈnuːn, fræŋk ˈhɔːkɪnz wəz ˈtɛlɪŋmi əˈbaʊt ɪz ɪksˈpɪərɪənsɪz əz ə jʌŋ mæn.
Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used too work in a small shop.
bɪˈfɔː hi rɪˈtaɪəd, fræŋk wəz ðə hɛd əv ə ˈvɛri lɑːʤ ˈbɪznɪs ˈkʌmpəni, bət əz ə bɔɪ hi juːzd tuː wɜːk ɪn ə smɔːl ʃɒp.
It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.
ɪt wəz ɪz ʤɒb tə rɪˈpeə ˈbaɪsɪklz ənd ət ðət taɪm hi juːzd tə wɜːk ˈfɔːˈtiːn ˈaʊəz ə deɪ.
He saved money for years and in 1958, he bought a small work shop of his own.
hi seɪvd ˈmʌni fə jɪəz ənd ɪn 1958, hi bɔːt ə smɔːl wɜːk ʃɒp əv ɪz əʊn.
In his twenties, Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.
ɪn hɪz ˈtwɛntɪz, fræŋk juːzd tə meɪk speə pɑːts fər ˈeərəpleɪnz.
At that time, he had two helpers. In a few years the small work shop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty eight people.
ət ðət taɪm, hi həd tuː ˈhɛlpəz. ɪn ə fjuː jɪəz ðə smɔːl wɜːk ʃɒp həd bɪˈkʌm ə lɑːʤ ˈfæktəri wɪʧ ɪmˈplɔɪd ˈsɛvn ˈhʌndrəd ənd ˈtwɛnti eɪt ˈpiːpl.
Frank smiled when he remembered his his hard early years and long road to success.
fræŋk smaɪld wɛn hi rɪˈmɛmbəd ɪz ɪz hɑːd ˈɜːli jɪəz ənd lɒŋ rəʊd tə səkˈsɛs.
He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in.
hi wəz stɪl ˈsmaɪlɪŋ wɛn ðə dɔːr ˈəʊpənd ənd ɪz waɪf keɪm ɪn.
She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle.
ʃi ˈwɒntɪd ɪm tə rɪˈpeə ðeə ˈgrænsʌnz ˈbaɪsɪkl.
任务配置：L0+L1+L2+L4
知识笔记：/ɜː/
1）半张开嘴巴，双唇略扁平，向嘴角两边略拉开。
2）舌身平放，舌中部伸向硬颚，但不要接触到硬颚，舌部肌肉紧张。
3）震动声带，发出/ɜː/音。
/ɜː/个长元音，这个音听起来和汉语的"饿"相似
a、通常情况下字母组合er,ir,ur在重读音节中都发[ɜː],例词：

skirt /skɜːt/ n. 裙子 dirty /'dɜːtɪ/ adj. 肮脏的 sir /sɜː/ n. 先生

c、ear字母组合后接辅音时通常发[ɜː],例词：

练习感悟：一些很早养成的发音习惯真的是很难改。。

@［00］ziq 西安 学生 你好。语音语调非常好注意一下：head你读成hand.repair中eə你读成aiə，spare的eə也是没发对。

@[00]XY-武汉-公路设计 您好，你的朗读整体偏快，然后注意telling company money helpers这几个单词的的发音。
@[00]Janet-深圳-外贸 您好～您的朗读流利，希望您可以再模仿一下语音语调，experiences的前面ex发音是iks 不是 eks
@Queen-河南-行政 您好~可以注意一下company的发音以及hundred的后半部分是drəd 不是drid
