Lesson 17 Always young

My aunt Jennifer is an actress.

She must be at least thirty-five years old.

In spite of this,

she often appears on the stage as a young girl.

Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.

This time,

she will be a girl of seventeen.

In the play,

she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.

Last year in another play,

she had to wear short socks

and a bright, orange-coloured dress.

If anyone ever asked her how old she is,

she always answers,

'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'

练习感悟：舌头有点打不开，发音有些不自然。练得太少吧？现在早上练一小时（包括录音），晚上复习，再在自己的打卡小群发录音。白天的时候需要再抽时间学习学习。
