Lesson 15 Good news

The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

任务配置：

L0＋L4

知识笔记：

新学：secretary 秘书；enter 进入；afford 供给；already adv 已经；interrupt 打断；extra 额外的

常用短语couldn't afford to 没能力做某事

练习感悟：

感觉新概念的难度这几篇难度和生词明显加大、加多。

现在也算是在锻炼语感的同时，积累常用的词组和词汇之类的，一定会有进步。

虽然成效是很久以后的事了吧。
