练习材料：

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：

今日读sister时有些蜻蜓点水一样，稍稍略过。但晚上再次听自己的声音，并与原声对比，还是能感觉到自己的重音没有发到位。sister里的短i音可以稍稍提高一些音调，这样短i音可能发出来就更像原声了。其实深究下去，感觉好像并没有什么不对，但总是觉得自己的读音很好了，这样的想法终究不会让我走得更远。
