Lesson 15 Good news
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

今日练习发音
/æ/发音技巧:英式发音偏啊,口型张开张大(两根手指),嘴角往两边延展;舌位低,靠前。
常见发音字母:a
Apple,glad,mat,fat,flat,active,ash,stand,brand,land,accident,accent,lack,max,add,have
/ɔː/发音技巧:此音是特别英式的英语发音,口型上嘴唇要特别的聚拢,只能容得下一个小指头,嘴唇崛起,舌位靠后抬起,向后发力。且为长元音,发音时较长
常见字母组合:aw, augh,or,oar,ore,oor
law,awful,daughter,naughty,important,sport,sort,nor,for,according,board,soar,score,core,more,
floor, door
water,talk,walk
/aʊ/音标:
发音较为夸张,就像别人踩了你一脚,你说owch。双元音要有滑动感,前面的原因嘴巴张的要比较大,然后滑动到后面的元音,嘴巴聚拢。反正就是前面的元音嘴巴张的比较大
常见字母:ou ow
out,about,aloud,around,south,doubt,ground,sound,hour,loud,mouse,count,mouth,couch,shout
/ɑː/音标:下巴下沉,口型垂直打开,舌位稍靠后。感觉像在唱美声。可以嘴唇稍微用力觉一点
常见字母:ar,a
farther,far part car star arm art alarm bar///pass glass after banana answer dance last class
/iː/音标:左右嘴角往两边张开,为微笑型,上下齿之间的空隙十分十分的小。舌位关系不大,主要就是嘴角咧开,空隙变小。
常见字母:ee ea ie
three seem meet week sleep agree tree //team least dream cream seat eat tea//believe relief //we he metre key police
