L12(2):Life on a desert island
? Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day由境,and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

練習感悟:除夕夜快樂蓖议,爸媽在看春晚虏杰,歐巴在娛樂,我在練英語口語勒虾。讀到麻木纺阔,錄音總愛錯某個單詞,比如tanker, dinghy,rainwater,簡單的事情重復做修然,重復的事情認真做州弟。堅持做有用的事,提升技能低零。甭管Ta直接作用
