写在前面的话。
新年快乐啊～
头一次这么认真的读一本书。从来没读完过一本英文原版书的我，在自习室坐了一下午，才把第一章读完，做完笔记。水平不够，用了五六个小时，目前实在无法像Eric说的那样一个小时足矣。这份笔记真的不够好，亟需改善，我踏踏实实慢慢进步吧。相信会越来越好，总不能越练越差，对吧。
used when you are admitting that something is true:
E.g. This has led to financial losses, though admittedly on a fairly small scale.
something that is necessary before something else can happen or be done:

E.g. A reasonable proficiency in English is a prerequisite for the course.

读完第一章我发现上了这么多年学，我确实是新时代的文盲。在这个信息爆炸的时代，我们每天要接受太多的信息，但我自知这些快速信息都是垃圾，就像李笑来说的，知识不会爆炸，爆炸的都是垃圾。每天用手机刷出来的订阅号微博朋友圈，都是让人看的想吐的东西，因为看这些的时候很少有人会去思考，盲目认同。我真的很懒，从来不想主动思考问题，这实在是很可怕。这本书反复强调the understanding of reading，简直是在不断的告诫我，你要自己思考啊，要主动的想问什么啊。书不在多在于精，读书是要引发思考的，而不是像我以前读完就读完了，以后别人提到，只会说，啊我读过那本书，但其实和没读一样。
群里的小伙伴昨天都发了，而我今天才读一名第一章，比别人落后一天，而且这几天忙考试，还会比落后别人一两章。坚持最重要啊，一定要坚持下去，会每天看，但是笔记不一定每天写，我一定努力补上。
练听力去了🤗
晚安
