练习材料:
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!

练习感悟:
今天的音频也比较长,复述感觉没有那么认真,可能是想着划水吧(゚o゚;确实稍微长一点的文章就想着怎么样快点读完。我仍然有想放水的心理,但怎么样才能让自己尽量少放点水呢?想了想,也没其他的,增加自己的练朗读的时间和专注度。
