Exercise 3-2: Finding1 [æ], [ä], and [ə] Sounds CD 3 Track 7
There are five [æ], ten [ä], and seventy-five [ə] sounds in the following paragraph. Underscore them in pen or pencil. (The first one of each sound is marked for you.)
Hello, my name is_______________. I'm taking əmerəcən æccent Training. There's a lät to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation2 pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys intonation more than I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking down astaircase. I've been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I? VNext, check your answers with the AnswerKey, beginning on page193. Finally, take your markers and give a color to each sound. For example, mark [æ] green, [ä] blue, and [ə] yellow.
X Turn your CD off and read the paragraph three times on your own.
Note It sounds regional to end a sentence with [ustə]. In the middle of a sentence, however, it is more standard: [I ustəlive there.]
