Pronunciation

I sink vs. I think…focus on the words beginning with “TH”.

Recently I watch a TV show which named SHERLOCK, and he is a socially unaware and a talented observant detective. If you read this story or watched this TV show before, you should know that he has four real rivals in his whole life, who are three men and a woman. Today I would like to write the woman, whose name is Irene Adler appeared in the first episode of the Season two. It’s a woman who walks around different gentlemen and ladies of the high-end society and handles their sexual affair as her protection. All the peace are broken by Sherlock’s appearance.
