1、练习材料：Lesson23 A new house（49s）
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.

3、知识笔记：
生词和短语
get a surprise 中的surprise在这里作“使人惊奇、意外的事物”解，是可数名词
Work on it had begun ...，住宅的建设在......就开始了。
练习/ʃ/的发音：
发这个音时舌端抬起，靠近齿龈后部（但不要贴住），舌的两侧须贴住上齿的两侧，形成一条狭长的通道，气流通过时摩擦成音。
双唇要稍微向前突出并稍收圆。
这是个清辅音，发这个音时要送气，声带不振动。
