Lesson32 Shopping made easy

People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !

练习感悟:

不知不觉每天的朗读练习已经持续了32天，这32天从未间断。S老师在开班仪式上的那句“你要是放弃了，就永远不要再学了”，这句话给我的影响很大。每月回家带娃的一周，哄娃睡着后挣扎着爬起来，不管多晚，都要完成L0的基本任务。

在最近十来天的练习中，虽然朗读的文章篇幅变长了，但不知不觉也适应了。不过每天的朗读练习似乎又进入一个瓶颈期，读着读着似乎成为了习惯和自发性动作。有点担心，如果不增加难度和任务量，会不会进步比较慢。但考虑到目前毕业的写作进入攻关期，所以还是要把多数的时间和精力放在论文的写作上，英语的朗读练习只要以完成基本任务的形式，持续练下去，不掉队就可以了。还是要时时提醒自己，认清现实，分清事情的主次和轻重缓急，合理分配和安排时间，保持好自己的学习和生活节奏。
