练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉文章）：

[ˈlɛsən] [ˈtwɛnti]-[θri] [ə] [nu] [haʊs]. [fɜrst] [ˈlɪsən] [ənd] [ðɛn] [ˈænsər] [ðə] [ˈkwɛsʧən]: [waɪ] [əz] [ðə] [nu] [haʊs] [ˈspɛʃəl]?
I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to england next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

任务配置：L0 + L4
知识笔记：
单词/词组：
- have a letter from sb, 语言点 本句等于：I received a letter from my sister yesterday.
- Nigeria, [naɪˈʤɪriə] 尼日利亚（英文：Federal Republic of Nigeria，全称：尼日利亚联邦共和国）
- 尼日利亚是非洲第一人口大国，总人口1.73亿，占非洲总人口的16%，同时也是非洲第一大经济体，2013年，尼日利亚国内生产总值（GDP）5099亿美元。
- 尼日利亚是非洲能源资源大国，是非洲第一大石油生产和出口大国。截止2014年已探明石油储量居非洲第二、世界第十；已探明天然气储量居非洲第一、世界第八；已探明76种矿产中有34种具备商业开采价值。
- get a surprise, “感到吃惊，吃了一惊”
- 语言点 surprise = amaze = astonish = astound 使……吃惊
- 重点掌握关于amaze的搭配：
be amazed at / by对……大为惊奇
be amazed to see / hear / find看到/听到/发现……感到吃惊
- If she comes, she will get a surprise.
- 真实条件句 : 假设很有可能发生.If it snows，只要是状语从句, 一律用一般现在取代一般将来；如果在条件从句中, 从句往往是一般现在时, 主句仍然为一般将来时；真实条件句中, 从句往往为现在时, 主句中会用一般将来时或祈使句
- eg：If he is sleeping,don't wake him up.
- If 引导的叫条件句, without后面的名词也叫条件；without+n. : 如果没有；Without water,fish cannot live.；however=but, “然而”，however常常放在句首或句子中都可以, but习惯放在两个句子之间； but转折性语义比较强, however转折语义比较弱
- work on it had begun before my sister left, 划分句式：Work (on it) had begun before my sister left.
- Work在这儿是名词, 意思是“工作”on it --- 介词短语作后置定语修饰work; had begun 谓语动词, before my sister left时间状语从句.
- complete 可以被动，此句变为主动：We completed the house five months ago.
- stay with us, 与…呆在一起；同…住在一起
- large rooms,
- a lovely garden,
- it looks strange to some people,
- it must be,
- district, [ˈdɪstrɪkt] vs area vs region
- a beautiful new house
离一个名词最近的词跟该词的关系最密切, 冠词肯定是放在最前面的
朗读重点：
- new, [nju] / [nu]
- house, [haʊs] / [haʊz]
音标发音: letter ['letər], said, next, yesterday, get, many, very, left.
现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/e/这个音。
1）嘴唇向两侧微微分开，上下齿之间大约可容纳一个小指头尖的距离。
2）舌前部在发音过程中抬起，舌尖稍微接触下齿背。
3）发音时下巴逐渐向下移动，震动声带，发出/e/音。
练习感悟：
Answer: Because there is a lovely garden in such a modern house, which must be very strange to some people, so it must be a special one.
Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了。
现在对于英语的语感比较准确，稍微感觉“别扭”的地方仔细一查都会发现新的知识点，一方面说明自己的语感是对的，另一方面也说明是自己基础知识点确实掌握不足，碰到“别扭”的地方就说明这个知识点缺失。
另外，不要贪多，关于单词/词组学习，只学习文章中出现的意思，先把一个点攻克下来。
