Lesson 24 It could be worse
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost ￡50 and I felt very upset.' I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained ￡50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!’

contain
The verb?contain?has many shades of meaning but it often describes something that's held back or held in by something. Kids on the last day of school may find it hard to?contain?their glee when summer officially starts.
Picture Times Square on New Year's Eve. People can barely contain — or hold back — their excitement at being there. They clutch cups that contain — or hold — hot drinks that help them stay warm. The police set up barriers to contain — or restrain — the crowd to keep everyone under control. The next morning, the heaps of trash on the street will contain — or include — streamers, party hats, and cups.
任務(wù)設(shè)置：
L0+L4
練習(xí)感悟：
1.第一遍的時(shí)候，把honesty的重音讀錯(cuò)了。為什么蠢笋？因?yàn)闆]有在想我要把句子的重讀放在is上面梯醒，那么still我要讀的弱一點(diǎn)户辱，連帶著some我也會(huì)跟著烫幕，慣性济炎，然后honesty我就很想升調(diào)讀了幻锁，于是就把重音往后移了凯亮。這是我一直的問題，感謝有同學(xué)指出來了哄尔；還有就是練習(xí)太少了假消，最近東奔西跑，懈怠了岭接；
2. 第二遍讀的時(shí)候置谦，start中ar的音念得不夠好，嘴巴太緊了亿傅，原因不夠飽滿媒峡，太快過渡到r的音。
3.查完音標(biāo)請(qǐng)?jiān)僮屑?xì)讀幾遍葵擎。
4.r我有時(shí)候發(fā)卷舌谅阿，有時(shí)候發(fā)往后縮舌頭，兩種都很喜歡，記錄一下發(fā)r的好心情签餐。
