(一)语言点
1⃣️ adult /grown-up
2⃣️ 那是另外一回事了:
That's another/a different story.
3⃣️ Roger/ Copy that. = Got it. 收到
4⃣️ What he really wants to do is write不是writing
主语部分含有实意动词do(包括do 的其他形式或非谓语形式),同时含有all(所有概念), the first(序数概念), the best(最高级概念)等表示“所有,唯一”等概念的词语,或由what 引导的主语从句,后面不定式可以省略to。例如:
All I want to do now is (to) drink some water. 我想做的一切就是喝点水。
All she did yesterday was (to) sweep the floor. 她昨天做的一切就是打扫了地板。
The first thing for the thief to do is (to) run away. 小偷想做的第一件事就是逃跑。
If you want further information the best thing to do is have a word with the driver as you get on the bus. 如果你想了解更多信息,最好的办法是在上公交车时问一问司机。
What he wanted to do was (to) become a skillful worker.他的愿望是成为一个技术熟练的工人。
5⃣️ 如果我没记错的话:
If I remember/recall correctly.
If my memory serves right/correctly.
6⃣️ 带个好儿:
Give my regards to everybody!
7⃣️ 怎么形容job?
menial job 报酬低又枯燥的工作

(二)语音点
1. r有两种念法,retroflex(右) 和 bunched (左)
2. 元音r+t+元音,中间的t也会变成flap T,如;reporter
3. 单词内部连读加j creative j /kri (j)ˈeɪt ɪv/ Brian /ˈbraɪ(j)ən/
4. tr和dr连缀辅音(consonant blends)是两个单独的音拼起来的,一定有r的舌头动作。(control tree interesting)
5. translate translator 两种重音都可以。我听了欧路和人人里面的原声,几乎都是重音在最前的。
6. Pairs Alice 大多时候读/ə/
7. 务实的:practical pragmatic
(三)其他takeaways
1. 不要怕紧张,紧张是一种情绪,要问问自己为什么会紧张。
人生本身就充满了问题和艰难,我们要做的就是不断地解决问题。情绪的本质是对问题的反馈,负面情绪意味着有该解决的问题没有解决而已。(疼痛的感觉本质上也是一种反馈)
延迟满足 delaying of gratification
承担责任 acceptance of responsibility
忠于事实 dedication to truth
保持平衡 balancing
推荐阅读:祝你快乐,也愿你放过自己
2. 不断去重塑自己所学,因为每次都会有新的收获。
