Lesson 5 No wrong numbers
Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.

练习感悟:这次节奏快了一秒,总长应该是53秒,我读成了52秒。另外我发现,节奏,断句之所以找不准,不是我没有意识,而是我拿着后面这个音标全文在读,其实最后录制的时候还是要回到原文,看单词看句子,自然我们的节奏就会很快跟得上了。看原文,读了之后,在根据发音不准的地方,看哪些单词的音标我没读出来或者重音不准,后续我录制的时候还是以连原文为先,这样可以解决节奏,停顿和断句的问题。
