晨读的第一天，寒假第一次五点起床，心情很好~早睡才是王道~
小屁孩日记特别有趣，表达不贪多，消化了才是王道~
很幸运在eric的带领下，和大家一起晨读小屁孩~今天没有分析语音，主要的问题是注意下语调，不要一直是青少年的上升调~

Summary

After seeing the movie calledThe Truman Show,he has kind of suspected that he is also secretly being filmed by a bunch of creeps.It is anyone's guess that whether we are Trumans. Sometimes he is afraid that all the things around him are shams and he has no idea whether his life is real or rigged. And he figured out it is cool that millions of people are tuning in every day to see what he is up to.
In order to give people a good chuckle,he comes up with some juicy story lines every now and then.For example,sometimes he will let us know he is in on the secret. Unlike those washed-up celebrities who sell pictures on autograph convention to a make cheap buck,he is kind of thinking waiting for money to start rolling in, by selling different types of merchandise on which his catchphrase ( buzzword ) is slapped.
