PART2 Thoughts
今天第一次尝试读全英文的书，但是读的不是特别明白，我自己还是不能更清楚的了解框架，读着读着就跑到细节上了，好在这本书是在讲述例子。
我对今天的理解就是有两点：第一，就是要坚持，只有持续练习才能有突破。第二，就是要有大量的练习。这也是在阐述一个由量变到质变的过程吧。其他的没有读太懂，有空再回看看。
不过今天在书中学到的了很多关于网球类的词汇：
tennis outfits 网球套衣 racket 球拍
court shoes 网球鞋 serve （动词）发球
sweatband 防汗带 stroke 击（球），打法 backhand strokes 学习基本的反手击球法
