Lesson 4 An exciting trip
I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

练习感悟：
1. /n/的音发的不够好，还需要继续加强。
2. 将相似音放在一起复习，效果更好。
3. 今天的练习因为白天琐事多，加上晚上孩子的家长课，所以时间被打散，没有集中的时间练习，效果不好，不想发语音，但是必须得发，不能中断。
4. 熟词不熟。把认识的单词重新查一遍，收获很大，不过如果不怎么用，很快又遗忘了。
5. 有想法及时记下来，好多当时的感受在早上练习的时候很强烈，但是等到现在，都忘得差不多了。
6.录得差不多了，手贱取消了，现在连最基本的都读不了了，脸颊疼，下巴疼，Australia中tr的音已经没有办法从t顺利滑到r了。(I blamed my period for all that happened!!)
7.我在等待我的嘴巴恢复，造个句子好了。The suggestion that parents should learn how to appreciate kids drawings was received well
8. 11:19发出去了，糟糕到不行了，严重怀疑自己今晚的嘴巴坏了，节奏完全不对，原文念得不算慢，为什么我每次觉得节奏跟原文差不多时，却只能念到48s？没办法，只能慢下来，拖长了每一个单词念的感觉，非常变扭。一念到Australia我就想快进了。仔细反思一下，这篇文章听的次数太少了，觉得这篇文章好无聊，估计是我的懈怠情绪上来了，所以今天的练习其实没有走心？
