Practice 1,Listening
? Page 15,Listening Exercise 1
? What are the differences between
stops at the beginning of a word and
those at the end? e,g,pat,lap
? How to discriminate sounds like need
and neat?
? Voiceless stops
? At the beginning,strong releasing (送气 ); pat
? At the end,very weak; lap
? Voiced stops
? At the beginning,vibration before releasing;
bed
? At the end,very weak; robe
? neat & need,which /i:/ is longer?
? The vowel in front of a voiced consonant is
longer than the one in front of a voiceless
consonant.

Unit Three,Fricatives & Affricates
Learning Objectives
? What are fricatives and affricates?
? How to discriminate and pronounce
fricatives and affricates correctly?
?What are fricatives?
?Fricatives are made by partially
blocking the airflow,thus causing
the friction-like noise characteristic
of these sounds.
