Lesson 38 Everything expect the weather
Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?My old friend,Harrison,had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned th England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house abd went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather for even though it was stil summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

知识笔记
1.（L0）朗读Mediterranean、continually 花很长时间，特别是录音时总卡住。
2.（L1)跟读的是“美式发音秘诀”，练习了紧元音/æ/，发音时嘴唇裂开较大，脸部肌肉紧张。单词at、cat、dad 、hat、apple。
3.（L4）练习时间也长，新单词读不准。今天学习了一些语法关于no sooner …than、hardly …when、as soon as 他它们表示一……就，前面两个经常与过去完成式时态连用，as soon as 一般与一般现在时连用。还有as if/as though 象……一样，一种陈述式，表真实的或有可能发生。一种虚拟式，表不真实的或已知事实相反的。
练习感悟
进步或许是已毫米的速度在发生，比起昨日，今天读了课文，录了音，写了反思。
