回饋（90 秒）

回聽今天錄的 8 句，記錄三欄：

欄 1：可理解度阻礙點	欄 2：可修正機制	欄 3：明日最小調整
（例：THE/though 的 /ð/ 變成 /d/）	（例：舌尖置齒間做 5 次 this/dis 對比）	（例：明天所有 /ð/ 詞加強摩擦音）
（例：THROUGH/threatened 的 /θ/ 不清楚）	（例：舌尖抵齒做 5 次 think/sink 對比）	（例：所有 /θ/ 詞刻意延長）
（例：therefore 前後沒停頓）	（例：therefore 前後各加 200 ms）	（例：所有連接詞強制獨立語塊）

韻律任務

今天選擇讓以下詞承擔核重音（每句僅一個主核重音）：

句 1：PRIces（消費者成本焦點）
句 2：adVANtages（貿易戰結果）
句 3A：TWENty-five / 句 3B：TEN
句 4A：interNAtionally / 句 4B：disPLACE
句 5：NETworks（供應鏈重組焦點）
句 6：efFIciency（經濟原則焦點）
句 7：DIFficult（政治挑戰強調）
句 8：SECtors（勞工轉型目標）

替換任務

保留句型骨架，替換關鍵詞練習其他議題：

貿易戰 → 科技冷戰：

tariffs → export controls
supply chains → semiconductor supply
comparative advantage → technological edge
displaced workers → restricted researchers

貿易戰 → 移民政策：

trade barriers → immigration restrictions
efficiency gains → labor mobility
protectionism → nativism
adjustment assistance → integration programs
