練習材料：L19-2: A very dear cat 時長：60s
Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door.
At first she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again -- the letter had made that quite clear -- she changed her mind.
She withdrew $1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions.
The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word.
Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening.
He looked very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk.
The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done.
She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!

練習感悟：
?a cardboard box總是讀不順，還費了挺長時間的，還有drank 發音好像有點不準。
