知識筆記：

單詞：1、?in?spite?of?this: 盡管如此?;2、appear：顯得，看來，呈現；3、stage：舞臺，階段，時期；4、stockings：長筒女襪；

音標：/??/:old,grow

/??/是元音音標，屬于開合（也叫合口）雙元音。學習這個音之前先學習/?/和/?/的發音。發音時先發/?/然后滑向/?/音，/?/發得弱而短。

練習感悟：In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.這一句讀得不太好，和原音相比總是有差距，spite的s不夠明顯，often appears和appears on的連讀也經常不注意，往往是聽錄音的時候才發現。
