Lesson 93 A noble gift

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

练习感悟：

1.给自己定目标，一篇文章听20遍。数到13遍就给忘记了，因为一心二用，一边听一边做听写的笔记。

2. just keeping reading, not for pursuing how standard the accent is, but just let it become a habit.

3.发现自己的目标变来变去的，但是如果不一段时间思考一下，很容易陷入为打卡而打卡的窘境。我究竟是什么目的在学习，自己要搞明白，别看起来勤奋，实际上都在抓瞎。
