Yeah, I agree short passages are great. Because they focus on the flow of sound, not on the individual word. Lords prayer as something to read does not fit well for Chinese. Chinese cannot sanely be read using pinyin. Chinese must be read by characters. I guess you know this, as your username is xiaoma. Speaking and listening doesn't need remembering a lot of what are to early learners, symbols, and to later learners a collection of particles that sometimes make cute sense but are more often a sense of time waste and pain. Learning characters one-by-one however makes no sense. Unless on wants to sound like a CCTV1 7pm news announcer reading a script, words need to be put in to context, and for that is the need to relax, and just say things as they're said.
