Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

训练感悟:对于一个习惯于早起早睡的人,今儿差点儿延后任务,所幸把休息时间拿来用用,把任务完成,已经11天了,继续保持,下一步要把音标搞定,增加训练量,步步为营
