New Concept English II - 23 (12/22/2008)

Lesson 23

A new house


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.

My flight was delayed yesterday because of snow. So I missed a reading.
Beijing No.2's point about melody is taken. I still focused on pronunciation but paid more attention on the intonation and fluency.Thanks.

Happy Holidays.
