        也许你曾经对某个人甜言蜜语，为某个人赴汤蹈火；也许你曾经无意间语出伤人，偶然间犯下过错。时光流逝，带走了那人对你一言一行的记忆，却带不走当初留在心中的甜蜜或酸楚。今天Alison老师要和我们分享的是美国作家玛亚·安杰洛的一句人生感悟。
        首先来听Alison老师的朗读示范：
       
        I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. -Maya Angelou我了解了，人们会忘了你说过什么、做过什么，却绝不会忘记带给他们的感受。——玛亚·安杰洛
        【共通发音问题讲解】
        首先来看一看 did 这个词中的[ i ]音。这是一个轻音。我们要小心别把它发成 deed 一词中的长音[ E ]了。当你发这个[ i ]音时嘴型较圆，而且开口要比发[ E ]时大。来听一下：["did did did"]
        另外，[ L ]这个音对很多学英语的人来说都很难。要知道这个音在英语中是很重要的，必须发得清楚有力。特别是当它出现在单词结尾时，比如 will，people。要发好这个音，你得把舌尖抵在上齿后面，用力发出[ L ]这个音。听听看：["L" "L" "L"]["will" "people" "will" "people"]

        Hello everyone! This is Alison from HJ English. Today I'm going to talk about some of the common problems I noticed in this week's episode of English Unraveled: the Brilliant. The quote was written by an American author named Maya Angelou, famous for writing about her experiences growing up as an African American in the US. The quote reads: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel".
        Most of you had a good idea of what this quote means. One of your explanations reminded me of something a very dear friend of mine used to say when someone gave her a memorable feeling. She would say "you made my heart smile".
        Someone else had a neat explanation, saying that we spend a lot of time worrying about looking stupid, but that people don't remember when we do something stupid. They only remember when we make them feel something.
        Someone else wrote that we need to pay attention to the results or influence of our words and actions, and I think this is an excellent point. So if I want to know how I am influencing someone, first I need to understand them and how they think.
        I would like to see more creativity with your answers though. I want you to think of a person whom you remember through a feeling. Maybe every time you were around them, you felt nervous, excited, or even exhausted. Describe why they made you feel that way and whether or not they know the influence they have on you.
        Finally, a quick note on pronunciation: First, we need to be careful about the I-vowel in the word ‘did'. It's a soft vowel sound. ["did"] We need to be careful not to let it sound like a long-E vowel: ["deed"]. When you make the soft-I vowel sound ["ih"], the mouth is rounder and more open than for the long-E vowel.
        ["did did did"]
        Also, the "L" sound is difficult for many English learners. Remember that the "L" sound is very important in the English language and must be strong and clear, especially on the ends of words like "will" and "people". To make the "L" sound, press the tip of your tongue against the back of your top front row of teeth. Pressing harder creates a stronger "L" sound.
        ["L" "L" "L"]
        ["will" "people" "will" "people"]
        I hope this was helpful, and good luck with your practicing!
