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：catastrophic/but 的 /æ/–/ʌ/ 混淆） | （例：做 10 次 cat–cut、bank–bunk 對比） | （例：明天所有 /æ/ 開口大於 /ʌ/） |
| （例：although 前後沒停頓） | （例：although 前後各加 200 ms） | （例：所有讓步詞強制邊界標記） |
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：CONsequences（後果嚴重性）
- 句 2：SEE（可見性需求）
- 句 3A：THIRty-year / 句 3B：TERMS
- 句 4A：DIStant / 句 4B：FEEL
