L4-(2): The double life of Alfred Bloggs 时长：1'16

Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. 

ˈɛvri ˈmɔːnɪŋ, hiː lɛft həʊm drɛst ɪn ə smɑːt blæk sjuːt. hiː ðɛn ʧeɪnʤd ˈɪntuː ˈəʊvərɔːlz ænd spɛnt ðə nɛkst eɪt ˈaʊəz æz ə ˈdʌstmən. 

Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. 

bɪˈfɔː rɪˈtɜːnɪŋ həʊm æt naɪt, hiː tʊk ə ˈʃaʊər ænd ʧeɪnʤd bæk ˈɪntuː hɪz sjuːt.

Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. 

Alf dɪd ðɪs fɔːr ˈəʊvə tuː jɪəz ænd hɪz ˈfɛləʊ dustmen kɛpt hɪz ˈsiːkrɪt Alf's waɪf hæz ˈnɛvə dɪsˈkʌvəd ðæt ʃiː ˈmærɪd ə ˈdʌstmən ænd ʃiː ˈnɛvə wɪl, fɔː Alf hæz ʤʌst faʊnd əˈnʌðə ʤɒb.

He will soon be working in an office. 

hiː wɪl suːn biː ˈwɜːkɪŋ ɪn ən ˈɒfɪs.

He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. 

hiː wɪl biː ˈɜːnɪŋ ˈəʊnli hɑːf æz mʌʧ æz hiː juːzd tuː, bʌt hiː fiːlz ðæt hɪz raɪz ɪn ˈsteɪtəs ɪz wɛl wɜːθ ðə lɒs ɒv ˈmʌni.

From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

frɒm naʊ ɒn, hiː wɪl weər ə sjuːt ɔːl deɪ ænd ˈʌðəz wɪl kɔːl hɪm 'Mr. Bloggs', nɒt 'Alf'

任务配置：L0+L4

知识笔记：/ɛ/

The [ɛ] sound. It's a vowel, but it's a lot like the "r" consonant. To make this vowel sound, the tongue fattens up and comes up a little bit in the back. 

[ɛ]音是一个元音，不过它和辅音r的发音有很多相似处。发此音时，舌根处摊平并略微抬起, 舌跟碰到喉咙的后部
