Lesson 8 The best and the worst
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!

筆記：
1. /u/? ?pool? too
This sound is a little different from all of the other vowel sounds.
Other vowel sounds have one mouth position, ee for example.
And it's the position of the tongue, lips and jaw that make the sound.
For this vowel, the movement into and out of the position is just as important as the position itself, ih-oo
Let's take a look at the mouth position.
To make this sound, the back part of the tongue stretches up towards the soft palate. The front part of the tongue remains down, lightly touching or just behind, the bottom front teeth.
The lips have to start out, more relaxed, and then come into this tight circle.
This transition into position for the sound is just as important as the position itself.

練習(xí)感悟：
1.今天放水了抖拦，沒有好好練習(xí)讨衣；周末的“龍卷風(fēng)”殘留現(xiàn)場讓我無法安心讀書胎围；
2.音標(biāo)感覺復(fù)習(xí)得沒有章法石咬，還是要再捋一捋壹粟，每次都要翻到前面去看看愕乎，我到底復(fù)習(xí)了哪些音標(biāo)崎坊；
3. 今天的/u/要注意备禀，比較特別，發(fā)音嘴型做好之前的準(zhǔn)備嘴型動作很關(guān)鍵奈揍，二者結(jié)合才能發(fā)出好聽的/u/曲尸；昨天的音標(biāo)UH sound /?/再復(fù)習(xí)了一遍，跟今天的/u/的音完全不一樣我男翰，除了嘴型相似之外另患。
4.晚上開始復(fù)述看看如何？
