L15-1：Fifty pence worth of trouble 

Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If 50 pence pieces are not

 exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, 50 pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate. 

My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the 50 pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there. I gave him 50 pence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead he bought himself 50 pence

worth of trouble.

L15-2：Fifty pence worth of trouble

On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his 50 pence and it bounced along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not find his 50 pence piece anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm out.

A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire brigade was called and two fire fighters freed George using a special type of grease. George was not too upset by his experience bec ause the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troubles and rewarded him wit h a large box of chocolates.    

音标 ð：

自然张嘴，然后舌尖面轻抵上齿正下方，同时舌面两侧抵住两侧上牙床，憋气然后经舌尖面和上齿正下方之音的缝隙运用“呜式”方式挤气发音。the  then  gathered

音标 θ：

1）舌尖微微伸出，置于上下门齿之间，舌身成扁平。

2）气流由舌齿间泻出，摩擦成音，舌尖和下齿之间的气流通道非常窄小，气流从舌齿间的窄缝中泄出。

注意：/θ/是个清辅音，声带不震动。要注意与/ð/,/s/,/z/的区别，发这个音主要是舌尖与上齿之间的摩擦，所以千万不要紧紧咬住舌尖，应该是上齿轻触舌尖。

学习感悟：今天练习了两篇，连读感觉更加顺畅了，阅读多了，才能领悟文章中的连读、短语、陌生单词读音等。还有真的要大声读，小声容易咬字
