I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has beenthere for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is workingfor a big firm and he has alreadyvisited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs,a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin.From there, he will fly to Perth.My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

知识笔记:
单词:1. firm:商行,商号,公司;坚固的,坚硬的;稳固地;使强壮,使坚固。
音标:选择/æ/音练习:have,has,and,Alice
是元音音标,属于单元音、前元音及短元音,这个音是字母a在重读闭音节中的发音。发音时舌尖抵下齿,舌前部稍抬高,舌位比/e/更低,双唇平伸,成扁平形。发音方法:1)嘴唇向两侧尽量分开,嘴巴张开较大,上下齿之间大约可容纳两个手指的宽度。2)舌前部在发音过程中抬起,舌尖稍微接触下齿背。3)发音时逐渐压低舌头和下颚,尽可能夸张,震动声带,发出/æ/音。注意:/æ/个短元音,但在实际发音中有一定的长度。 要注意与/e/的区别。
练习感悟:本来以为跟读几分钟录音就能搞定了,没想到练着练着就是一个小时,总有不满意的地方,说明还有很大的进步空间,呵呵。
