Lesson96 The dead return
A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them. Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world. This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.

练习感悟:
今天的课文比前两天简单,生词较少,比之前的容易读些,但也不轻松。随着音标的学习,还是不断地发现问题,有些习惯的发音很难改,会意识地去纠正,但稍微不注意是就回到原来的习惯,同时要兼顾其他的发音,还要想着原声中的语调,可能在形成肌肉记忆以前,都要一直注意监督自己的发音,有时候感觉会发音,没多久就会忘记,读课文时会觉得很累,要持续练习。
第二册最后一课结束。听了一下第三册的开篇,感觉速度快了很多,很怕自己跟不上,要加油!
