Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

When you turn something, you rotate it or move it around an axis, the way you turn a key in a lock or turn a car's steering wheel.
Gears and wheels turn, and you can turn a screw with a screwdriver. You can also turn by shifting direction or changing position: "She turned away from him when he started telling terrible jokes." When you flip the page of a book, you turn that as well. And to transform or change is another way to turn: "He turned pale when he saw the ghost." Turn can also be used a noun meaning "an act or instance of rotating." And when you play a board game, you roll the dice when it's your turn.

点评:(昨天欠下的)
@【00】查理-厦门-教育 读的棒棒哒~kept in读的慢一点哈,可以先把kept发好,再尝试跟in连读,还有strings读成了strange的感觉,继续坚持喔,等你发今天的哈~
@[00]何丹_四川_全职二宝妈 clavichord没有听到l的音,1681的16听着像60,room中oo的发音不够饱满,recently多了一个音,struck中uh的音,发的不够清脆,嘴巴跟舌头放轻松,嘴巴稍微张开,收腹发音,shocked这个词可以在模仿看看,sh的音,发的时候双唇撅起,舌尖不碰齿龈,往后缩一点点~
@【00】查理-厦门-教育 读的好棒,gave的ei发的饱满清晰一点,就很好了~
复述
练习感悟:
1.复述的时候,会发现平时经常会犯的语法错误,比如第三人称的谓语忘记加s,he跟she不分啦,等等,所以复述的时候脑袋要够清醒,嘴巴要利索。
2.这周是听写深度复盘周,今天复习了听写,就没有太多的时间打磨自己的朗读。
3.儿子学轮滑,想要一蹴而就,觉得滑的越快越好,所以他不喜欢教练叫他背着手滑轮滑,因为速度变慢了很多,可是如果不背着手,他滑的快的时候就很容易摔倒,因为基本功不扎实。基本功,基本功,最基本的都没有做好,想要溜的飞起,根本不可能。所以,我要归零,好好再学习一遍音标,这是基本功,练得越扎实越好,并且系统化,并且一步步形成自己的理论框架。
4.怎么都打不开简书,好了,现在行了,已经过12点了,是不是只能算是补的作业了?下回不能这么晚写笔记了。
