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.

任务笔记：

L1 练习蝴蝶音

garage， spare

the sounds of American English

Rachel's English

this is the sound that changes depending on the following sound. So it can either be a pure vowel or a modified vowel.

To make the pure AA vowel, the jaw drops quite a bit, AA.

the tip of the tongue stays forward, it's touching the back of bottom front teeth, AA.

The back of the tongue stretches up.

The tongue is wide, AA. Because the tongue is high in the back and low in the front, you can see a lot of it.

This is different as the vowel ah in the father vowel, for example, where the tongue presses down in the back and you see more dark space in the mouth.

You can also see the corners of the mouth pull back and up a little bit.

When AA is in a stressed syllable, the vowel will go up and come down in pitch; in an unstressed syllable, the vowel is flatter and lower in pitch,quieter.

重点来啦：完全蝴蝶音&不完全蝴蝶音。it's not a pure vowel when it's followed by nasal consonants.

When it's followed by the M or N sounds, the tongue relaxes in the back, making an UH sound after AA: AA-UH.当AA跟/m//n/在一块儿时，AA发成AA+UH的音，如man,can

the modified AA before M and N

CAN

First, the little part of the tongue lifts towards the roof of the mouth, the the front part of the tongue. 当AA跟ng的音在一块儿时，AA发成ay的音，如gang，thanks

modified AA followed by NG

BANK

练习感悟：

今天念着念着就想唱歌，于是用唱歌的感觉念英语，不过回听的时候觉得还是不够好，pigeon念的太重，其实拉长i音就行；还有spare的蝴蝶音a嘴巴张的不够大。

今天学习到AA音的不完全化现象，发现自己原来一直读错了好多音啊，bang, bank, can, man

今天任务完成，晚上可以趁娃儿上课放松一下了~
