Exercise 6-2 : Double Vowel 1 with R CD 3 Track 44
Refer to the subsequent lists of sounds and words as you work through each of the directions that follow them. Repeat each sound, first the vowel and then the [ər], and each word in columns 1 to 3. We will read all the way across.
We will next read column 3 only; try to keep that doubled sound, but let the vowel flow smoothly 2 into the [ər]; imagine a double stairstep that cannot be avoided. Don't make them two staccato sounds, though, like [ha•rd]. Instead, flow them smoothly over the double stairstep: Hääärrrrd.
Of course, they're not that long; this is an exaggeration and you're going to shorten them up once you get better at the sound. When you say the first one, hard, to get your jaw 3 open for the [hä], imagine that you are getting ready to bite into an apple: [hä]. Then for the er sound, you would bite into it: [hä•erd], hard.
x Pause the CD to practice five times on your own.
From a spelling standpoint, the American R can bea little difficult to figure out. With words like where [wεər] and were [wər], it's confusing to know which one has two different vowel sounds (where) and which one has just the [ər] (were). When there is a full vowel, you must make sure to give it its complete sound, and not chop it short, [wε+ ər].
For words with only the schwa + R [ər], don't try to introduce another vowel sound before the [ər], regardless of spelling. The following words, for example,do not have any other vowel sounds in them.
- A long vowel is a long sound as in the word"shoe ".长元音即如“shoe” 一词中的长音。
- The vowel in words like 'my' and 'thigh' is not very difficult.单词my和thigh中的元音并不难发。
- The workmen are very cooperative,so the work goes on smoothly.工人们十分合作,所以工作进展顺利。
- Just change one or two words and the sentence will read smoothly.这句话只要动一两个字就顺了。
