L11(2):Not guilty
'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.'
'But it isn't perfume,' I said. 'It's hair gel.' Then I added with a smile, 'It's a strange mixture I make myself.'
As I expected, he did not believe me.
'Try it!' I said encouragingly.
The officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.

练习感悟:1.今日的s词汇结营这own story.练了好久发的Mp3录音。越录越录不好,估计是有点着急了。为我那很菜的英文表达堪忧,忽然回想起第一天练新概念练错的细节,还有担心自己是否能坚持的问题。不知不觉已经54天,日更45天。无论如何一定不能放弃,从0-50再从50-100天的的阶段,纵使心里有起伏,也一定要调整好。不断完善自己,继续加油鸭鸭鸭!
