L2-(1): Thirteenequals one
Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since. One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck 13 times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognised as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.

练习感悟:
这半篇材料也很绕口为什么,是我下意识的模仿朗读者的语气吗?断句和之前不同,发音也有些微小的不一样,好的方面是可以听辨音(录音里的老师读的都很清晰了),不好的事,其实也就是不习惯,那么看看我要到什么时候才能习惯吧。
最近有点厌学了,可能因为自己加入的小组太多,不确定因素太多,任务完不成,心态也崩,如果我是被干掉的那个,希望我可以多坚持一会儿……
