Lesson26 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!

任务配置：L0+L1+L4

知识笔记：

1.朗读(L0): 提交录音的时长为1分16秒，原音正文部分1分16秒左右。

2. 音标(L1):appreciate/əˈpriːʃɪeɪt/ she/ʃi/

sh  /ʃ/

1）上下齿自然合拢，嘴唇张开不要太大，稍微收圆。

2）舌端抬起，靠近齿龈后部，但不要贴住。

3）舌身抬起，靠近上腭，形成一条狭长的通道。气流通过通道时摩擦成音。

4）/∫/是个清辅音，声带不震动。/ʃ/和汉语中的声母sh很相近，但要注意的是/ʃ/不卷舌，是个平舌音。

3. 今天是第二十六天: 发音练习是一个长期的过程，不要期待一个月就解决多年养成的不正确习惯。
