Lesson 26 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!

练习感悟：
1. 生病的小家伙一直在旁边吵我，期间录音夹杂着各种哀嚎跟捣蛋的声音，真想打他。不过早上我在练习央元音的时候，他也跟着我练习了，兴致勃勃的，居然念得很标准，从前到后，包括嘴型从大到小，从咧开到圆，都模仿的很棒，不错。他很开心，因为觉得声音很像我，长大之后不知道会如何嫌弃了。
2.今天有一个小伙伴Helen告诉我我的more跟or的音发的都有带I的音。听了好几遍没有听出来，算了，再重新复习一遍音标好啦~后面何丹跟Joy也告诉我more有问题，只好默默再把书拿出来念一遍啦。
3.念完发现还是r音拉太长了，口腔不够紧。
4.不要吃老本，认真读书，好好朗读。
