Lesson24 It could be worse

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost ￡50 and I felt very upset.' I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained ￡5o. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!’

知识笔记：

1、

现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/ə/这个音。

1）嘴微微张开，嘴唇放松，舌身平放。

2）舌中部伸向硬颚，不要与之接触。

3）口部肌肉和舌头放松，震动声带，气流向外发出/ə/音。

注意：/ə/是中央、不圆唇、非重读元音。

练习感悟：

1、manager's   [ˈmænɪʤərz]   和manager   [ˈmænəʤər]

2、短音还是不能读的原音一样的跳跃感，总是有些拖拉，或者是降调的时候降到底。

3、今天有些烦躁，不想一个一个读，原因在哪，是觉得进步不够吗，太慢了吗。急啥，别急。别跟别人比，没有什么怀才不遇，是无才才无成。要练的还有很多，没有时间焦虑。
