练习材料：

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. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. 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. He will soon be working in an office. 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. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

本篇文章中没有太多难读的词，不过开始联系时，我总是会忘记主人公Alf的读法。有时出现他的全名，此时我读的重音感觉不大对劲。看来，我确实对重音这部分还不太熟练。但是有时在读句子的声调部分时，我会感觉到这个升调的部分正好打上了重音符号。可能语句的升降调与单词重音的位置有关。

练习感悟：

我做不到很快，但至少要跟得上进度。就算之前拉下了，赶紧补上，把该做的做好。
