Lesson26 The best art critics
I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. ' What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it ?' She looked at it critically for a moment.' It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

音标专练:[ar]
发音要点:
尾音卷舌音,由于有卷舌音,[a]的音嘴巴不要全张,介于汉语拼音"a""o"之间,然后将舌头卷起。
练习感悟:今天第9期S英语晨读第二天,S提到要慢一点,不要用快掩盖缺点。然后今天的朗读练习一改往日连续跟读的风格,开始一个单词一个单词读。前20分钟都在抠音,晚饭后的20分钟朗读练习。
还被cue练习时间短。。一个8个单词的句子练习15分钟算什么?看来30分钟的朗读练习要加码了。。
练起来!
