Lesson31 Success story
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins wastelling me about his experiences as a young man. Before heretired, Frank was thehead of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicyclesand at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved moneyfor years and in 1958 he bought a small work-shop of his own. In his twenties,Frank used tomake spare
parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years,the small work-shop had become a large factory whichemployedseven hundred and twenty-eightpeople. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long roadto success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. Shewanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/θ/这个音。
舌尖微微伸出,置于上下门齿之间,舌身成扁平。
气流由舌齿间泻出,摩擦成音,舌尖和下齿之间的气流通道非常窄小,气流从舌齿间的窄缝中泄出。
注意:/θ/是个清辅音,声带不震动。要注意与/ð/,/s/,/z/的区别,发这个音主要是舌尖与上齿之间的摩擦,所以千万不要紧紧咬住舌尖,应该是上齿轻触舌尖。
