Lesson 23 A new house
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.

练习感悟：
不管去哪儿，想的都是先把朗读任务完成。不过，有时候会为了完成而完成，未必好。最近太懈怠，基本都是按照自己原来的语音语调走了，模仿的不到位。
