Practice 6: Reading Practice

Read the following text TWICE paying attention on the pronunciation. Your tutor will correct your pronunciation while you read the sentences. <The Tree House> Rick and Misty live in a tree house which is covered with leaves. It is very weird to live in a tree house, but Rick and Misty think its neat. In the winter when it rains their house leaks and they dont have any heat. Thats when Misty misses living in a real house and she thinks about leaving. But she just grins and wishes for more green leaves to live in. <Cheap Pete> Pete lives near a peach orchard, and is a peach picker. Every morning, he leaves his living quarters and picks peaches all day. Peach picking leaves Pete with a good living, though his wages are sometimes cheap. So, Pete picks the peaches when they are at their peak, and he leaves the peaches without the pits in the green leaves.
