知识笔记：
单词：1、 in spite of this: 尽管如此 ;2、appear：显得，看来，呈现；3、stage：舞台，阶段，时期；4、stockings：长筒女袜；
音标：/əʊ/:old,grow
/əʊ/是元音音标，属于开合（也叫合口）双元音。学习这个音之前先学习/ə/和/ʊ/的发音。发音时先发/ə/然后滑向/ʊ/音，/ʊ/发得弱而短。
练习感悟：In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.这一句读得不太好，和原音相比总是有差距，spite的s不够明显，often appears和appears on的连读也经常不注意，往往是听录音的时候才发现。
