练习材料: Lesson 5 No wrong numbers Mr.
James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.

音标学习:前元音/æ/
/ æ /美式读音符号 / æ /英式读音符号 / æ /传统的国际音标的读音符号
该音是个前元素,是字母a在重读闭音节中的发音。//是短元音。发音时舌尖抵下齿;舌前部稍抬高,舌位比/e/更低;双唇平伸,成扁平形。
练习感悟:
“Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.”这句原音好难模仿啊!
单词“garage”、“own”发音再听原音,读得也不准!
