练习材料：Lesson 54 Sticky fingers 时长：1’24
After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to shops.
ˈɑːftə ˈbrɛkfəst, aɪ sɛnt ðə ˈʧɪldrən tuː skuːl ænd ðɛn aɪ wɛnt tuː ʃɒps.
It was still early when I returned home.
ɪt wɒz stɪl ˈɜːli wɛn aɪ rɪˈtɜːnd həʊm.
The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet.
ðə ˈʧɪldrən wɜːr æt skuːl, maɪ ˈhʌzbənd wɒz æt wɜːk ænd ðə haʊs wɒz ˈkwaɪət.
So I decided to make some meat pies.
səʊ aɪ dɪˈsaɪdɪd tuː meɪk sʌm miːt paɪz.
In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry.
ɪn ə ʃɔːt taɪm aɪ wɒz ˈbɪzi ˈmɪksɪŋ ˈbʌtər ænd ˈflaʊər ænd maɪ hændz wɜː suːn ˈkʌvəd wɪð ˈstɪki ˈpeɪstri.
At exactly that moment, the telephone rang.
æt ɪgˈzæktli ðæt ˈməʊmənt, ðə ˈtɛlɪfəʊn ræŋ.
Nothing could have been more annoying.
ˈnʌθɪŋ kʊd hæv biːn mɔːr əˈnɔɪɪŋ.
I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates.
aɪ pɪkt ʌp ðə rɪˈsiːvə bɪˈtwiːn tuː ˈstɪki ˈfɪŋgəz ænd wɒz dɪsˈmeɪd wɛn aɪ ˈrɛkəgnaɪzd ðə vɔɪs ɒv ˈhɛlɪn beɪts.
It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later.
ɪt tʊk miː tɛn ˈmɪnɪts tuː pəˈsweɪd hɜː tuː rɪŋ bæk ˈleɪtə.
At last I hung up the receiver.
æt lɑːst aɪ hʌŋ ʌp ðə rɪˈsiːvə.
What a mess!
wɒt ə mɛs!
There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-knobs.
ðeə wɒz ˈpeɪstri ɒn maɪ ˈfɪŋgəz, ɒn ðə ˈtɛlɪfəʊn, ænd ɒn ðə dɔː-nɒbz.
I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell rang loud enough to wake the dead.
aɪ hæd nəʊ ˈsuːnə gɒt bæk tuː ðə ˈkɪʧɪn ðæn ðə dɔː-bɛl ræŋ laʊd ɪˈnʌf tuː weɪk ðə dɛd.
This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!
ðɪs taɪm ɪt wɒz ðə ˈpəʊstmən ænd hiː ˈwɒntɪd miː tuː saɪn fɔːr ə ˈrɛʤɪstəd ˈlɛtə!
任务配置：L0+L1+L2+L4
知识笔记：/əʊ/
1）学习该音发音方法请先学习/ə/和/ʊ/这两个单元音。
2）首先嘴型呈半圆并稍向前突出，舌后部向软颚抬起，不要与之接触,发出/ə/。
3）然后很快的滑向/ʊ/音，发音结束时，颚部慢慢抬起，嘴唇慢慢合上。
注意：/əʊ/是个"开合双元音"，发音时口型由略微呈圆形较大到收圆缩小，音量由强到弱，该音是字母"o"的读音。
sticky adj.黏性的 made of or covered in a substance that sticks to things that touch it

Stir in the milk to make a soft but not sticky dough.把牛奶搅进去，和成软而不黏的面团。

L2: @［56］-lemonice-南京-学生 同学你好，我觉得整体都读得挺好的，语音语调也很到位，但是好像有一个问题，我听了好几遍shops 的 p 是不是没有发出来，还有doorknobs 的b 好像也没发出来，直接读到了后面的s 。
@09David-常州-上班族 您好 ，我听了您的朗读，整体很流畅，第一是您的children读错了，第二是letter 的/e/的音没有发到位，可能是到最后嘴形就有点放松，嘴角可以再往两边拉一下，会更到位。
@[000]兆丽-济南-法律 您好，听了您的朗读，整体流畅，decided 的i 应该是没有发对，doorknobs 前半部分door 的音也没有发对。
