Lesson 7 Too late
原文：
Did the detectives save the diamonds?
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa.
A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.
When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield.
Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House.
While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others openedthe parcel.
To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

点评我：
Hannh- 河北 - 学生
@Gilbert（耐烦） 亲，整体发音偏降调，可以尝试模仿原音，语速较快，可以尝试慢慢朗诵，Too late， plane， hours， main， guard at连读 opened the连读 以上发音出现轻微偏差，麻烦请参考原文or词典发音。

@[0.2147222]Gilbert-郑州-司机lateplane里面都有ei的发音，这是个双元音，但是你读的太短促，e不够饱满，i也没有发出音，尝试读慢一点
我点评：
@Yuki-xiamen-宝妈
detectives的v没有读出来;someone的m音没有读出来;th的音读的不对thetheytheir;parcel的ce读s音。
@青青-济南
was的s读z;all的l音有点奇怪。
@[00]artern-深圳-化工
plane的a读ei.expecting的ec读错了;thieves的v读错了;while的l音没读出来;door的oo读u音;最后的was读成了were.
练习感悟：
突然感觉今天联系的句子长了，明明是很简单的句子但是结构感觉和前几天读的内容不一样，所以没有之前读的那么随和；今天还有小伙伴点评说我读的快，也许是我真的着急读完着急上班去吧！更可能是我对这篇文章的练习熟练度不够。晚上回来又把字典搬出来查了一下这些基础的单词，看看释义发现diamond 还有纸牌的方块意思stone 有果实的果核意思，突然感觉印象更深了。
