Lesson 89 A slip of the ton:'gue

First listen and then answer the question

Who made the only funny joke that evening and why?

People will do anything to see a free show even if it is a bad one .When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P.and U.Bird Seed Company,we all rushed to see it.We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began.Unfortunately,the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen.Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed.as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come.The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme.He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkawrdly before the microphone.As soon as he opened his mouth,everyone burst out laughing.We all know what the poor man should have said.but what he actually said was:'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company,Good ladies,evening and gentlemen!

训练任务：L0+L4

训练感想：习惯了在上午就把任务完成，一旦推到下午或者晚上就不太想完成，犹豫不决，但是还是完成了，不过这个完成之后的感觉真的是太棒了，所以人还是要逼迫自己一把，今日的任务相对比较简单，可能由于今儿对自己的要求并不高吧，但是也并没有防水，已经快深夜了，向100天进军。
