Lesson 83 After the elections
The former Prime Minister, Mr. Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad. My friend, Patrick, has always been a fanatical opponent of Mr. Lane's Radical Progressive Party. After the elections, Patrick went to the former Prime Minister's house. When he asked if Mr. Lane lived there, the policeman on duty told him that since his defeat, the ex-Prime Minister had gone abroad. On the following day, Patrick went to the house again. The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance, when Patrick asked the same question. Though a little suspicious this time, the policeman gave him the same answer. The day after, Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question. This time, the policeman lost his temper.' I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday,' he shouted, 'Mr. Lane was defeated in the elections. He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!' I know,' answered Patrick,' but I love to hear you say it!'

temper跟mood的區(qū)別是什么呢舞吭？有什么相同之處嗎秉沼？
Temper?can refer to a tendency to become unreasonably angry. If you’re not sure whether you have a?temper, ask your friends — but don’t get mad if you dislike what they have to say.
Temper?has a number of related yet distinct meanings. In addition to describing a tendency to anger,?temper?can also refer to one’s mood in general; if you use the word in this sense, you might describe someone's temper as "angry" or "mild."?Temper?can also be used as a verb meaning “to restrain.” If you have a nasty temper, you might try tempering your temper by counting to ten whenever you’re tempted to throw a "temper tantrum," or fit.(第一次知道tantrum這次個凉馆，看的wimpy kid瞪慧，超級搞笑的小屁孩兒铃剔，那段“快樂讀書”的日子一去不復(fù)返了)
Are you feeling good or bad, cheerful or irritable right now? This is your?mood.
Mood?refers to how you feel at the present time. If you want to ask your boss for a raise, wait until he or she is in a good mood. Don't ask, though, if he or she is "in a?mood" - that means the person is grumpy. If you are in the mood for something like ice cream or spicy food, you would like to have it now.?Mood?can also describe the attitude of a group of people or the feeling of a film, novel or piece of music.
語音知識：
unvoiced: only air passes through the mouth
voiced: make the sound with the vocal cords
stop consonants: there are two parts to each sound
1. Stop in airflow
2. Release
the back of the tongue reaches up to touch the soft palate, which is closed; the tip of the tongue can remain forward. lightly touching the back of bottom front teeth; the jaw drops a little bit and the lips are open.
the lip position doesn't matter for these sounds, so the lips might start forming the next sound, like great, you can start the mouth position for R as we make the G
當(dāng)后面跟著輔音時，g跟K沒有release的動作翼抠，直接往下讀另外一個單詞店煞。這樣就像一個整體很順暢的往下，更符合自然語流诵原。
練習(xí)感悟：
1.當(dāng)你不走心的朗讀時英妓，你的手指怎么都不想發(fā)送這樣的朗讀。雖然聽上去也很不錯绍赛，但是你自己知道蔓纠，你在放水。
2. 讀得正確吗蚌，再加上Rachel的講解腿倚，一下子就有一種茅塞頓開的感覺，原來我發(fā)這個音蚯妇，舌頭在這猴誊，聲帶在震動，嘴唇是這樣擺的侮措，有一種完完全全摸著口腔讀一遍的感覺，比如今天學(xué)習(xí)的乖杠，以前就覺得簡單分扎，一個清輔音，不震動聲帶胧洒，一個濁輔音畏吓，震動聲帶；今天聽了講解卫漫，明白了菲饼，舌頭跟軟腭接觸發(fā)音，然后要讓它倆分開列赎，氣流沖出去宏悦，所以實(shí)際上是兩個步驟，一個是停止，一個是釋放饼煞。
3. 家里的娃兒笑點(diǎn)異于大人源葫，突然想起來: 笑點(diǎn)低用英語怎么說呢？ amused by even the weakest joke, ready to laugh at the smallest thing; 那么砖瞧，笑點(diǎn)呢息堂？funny bits, humorous parts, punchline
He forgot the punchline and the joke fell flat.
4. 昨天還碰到了一個單詞fast，可以當(dāng)動詞跟名詞用块促，只有一個意思荣堰，“節(jié)食、禁食竭翠、齋戒”振坚，幸虧只有這么一個意思。
to go on a fast/ to break or end your fast
5. same這個詞逃片，原文有多處屡拨，發(fā)現(xiàn)發(fā)的不夠自然，雙元音發(fā)的不夠清晰好聽褥实，還有m呀狼，因?yàn)樘s著要發(fā)鼻音了，所以把前面的元音忽略了损离。趕快看看rachel如何講M的發(fā)音哥艇。
M is a voiced consonant, pressing the lips together lightly while making the sound with the vocal cords.牙齒要分開一點(diǎn)，這樣好準(zhǔn)備發(fā)下一個音僻澎，這樣的話貌踏，有點(diǎn)感覺舌頭往后拉
because the soft palate is lowered, air comes up through the nasal passages
so it's a nasal consonant.
you can feel the vibration in your nose.
