Algunos tips de pronunciación:

La B/bi/ es diferente a V/vi/. La primera es bilabial y la segunda labio-dental.

La C/si/ es diferente a Z/zi:/. En la última se vibran las cuerdas vocales.

La M/em/ es diferente a N/en/. En la primera se unen los labios y en la última no.

13

13

Algunos tips de pronunciación que pueden ser útiles.

La doble “e” siempre se pronuncia como una i:

Ex: see /si:/=ver

La combinación “ea” mayormente se pronuncia como una i:

Ex: Eat /i:t/=comer . Mean /mi:n/=significar. excepto en: dear /díar/=querido- pear

/péǝr/=pera, etc.

La doble “o” tiene 4 variaciones, las cuales hay que memorizarlas: (1) /u:/ (2) /ʊ/ (3)

/ɔ:/ (4) /ʌ/.

(1)La primera es una “u” fuerte con labios tensos y redondeados y sonido alargado. Se

representa así /u:/

Ex: food /fu:d/=comida- school /sku:l/=escuela

(2) La segunda es una “u” no tensa casi tendiendo a “o”, sonido corto. Se representa

así /ʊ/

Ex: good /gʊd/=bueno - look /lʊk/=mirar – book /bʊk/.

(3) La tercera es una “o” prolongada. Se representa como /ɔ:/ Ex: door /dɔ:r/=puerta

- floor /flɔ:r/=piso.

(4) La cuarta es una “a” con labios menos tensos que la “a” española representada

como /ʌ/. Ex: blood /blʌd/=sangre - flood /flʌd/diluvio.

El símbolo /δ/ se pronuncia como la “D” pero es interdental. Mientras que el símbolo

/θ/ se pronuncia igual pero sin zumbido en la garganta, es decir, como la zeta

española.

Cuando las vocales tienen dos puntos señala que se debe pronunciar con prolongación.

La “r” en inglés se pronuncia más suave que la “rr” española.

La ‘aw’ o ‘au’ se pronuncia /ɔ:/. Ex: law=ley. Saw=sierra.

Do/du:/ I, you, we, they.

Does/dлz/ he, she, it.

-Does se usa con he, she, it. Y cuando no esté el ‘Does’ se le agrega ‘s’ or ‘es’ al verbo.

Add ‘es’ to the verbs ending in ‘x, s, sh, ch, o, z’.

Los verbos que terminen en ‘consonante+y’ cambian la ‘y’ a ‘ies’. Así que, Study

cambia a studies la 3ra persona singular (he, she, it).

Ex: My mom works in the hospital….sentence.

Does your mom (she) work in the hospital?...question

Yes, she works in the hospital…affirmative long answer.

C: Where is it?

C: Oh, nice! Does it have a view?

L: Yes, it does. It has a great view of another apartment building.

GRAMMAR: THEREIS/ THERE ARE. ANY/SOME.

There is……..Singular There are……Plural

For asking questions the verb BE is at the beginning:

Is there any…? Are there any…?

ANY/SOME are determiners used before uncountable and plural nouns. Before another determiner or a pronoun you must use some of/any of.

In English it is usual to use ‘some’ in affirmative clauses and ‘any’ in questions and

negations. Ex:

Do you have any aspirins?....Yes, I have some aspirins.

I need some medicine.

And we use ‘some’ in questions if we expect or want people to answer ‘yes’. For

example, in offers and requests.

Ex: Do you want some ice cream?

Do you have some money that I can borrow?

We use ‘any’ after words that have a negative meaning: for example: never, hardly,

without.

Ex: you never give me any help.

We got there without any trouble.

There’s hardly any tea left.

We use ‘any/some’ when we are talking about small quantities. Or in uncertain,

indefinite numbers.

Ex: Do you have any animals?

Would you like some more ice cream?

Wednesday…….. named after Woden, the chief Anglo-Saxon / Teutonic god

Thursday... ……. named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder

Song Lyrics:

Track 71. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You Bryan Adams

Look into my eyes you will see, What you mean to me. Search your heart, search your soul, And when you find me there, You'll search no more. Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for. You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for. You know it's true. Everything I do, I do it for you. Look into your heart, you will find, There's nothin' there to hide. Take me as I am. Take my life. I would give it all. I would sacrifice. Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for. I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more. You know it's true. Everything I do, I do it for you. Oh, yeah. There's no love like your love. And no other could give more love. There's nowhere, unless you're there. All the time, all the way. Yay. Look into your heart, baby. Oh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for. I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more. Yeah, I would fight for you, I'd lie for you. Walk the wire for you,

Yeah, I'd die for you. You know it's true. Everything I do, oh, I do it for you.

Track 72. Take My Hand (Simple Plan) Hey Hey Hey Hey Sometimes I feel like everybody's got a problem Sometimes I feel like nobody wants to solve them I know that people say we're never gonna make it But I know we're going to get through this (Close your eyes and please don't let me go) Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't let me go now (Close your eyes don't let me let you go) Don't, Don't, Don't

The city sleeps and we're lost in the moment Another kiss says we're lying on the pavement If they could see us they would tell us that we're crazy But I know they just don't understand (Close your eyes and please don't let me go) Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't let me go now (Close your eyes don't let me let you go) Don't, Don't, Don't [Chorus] Take my hand tonight Let's not think about tomorrow Take my hand tonight We could find some place to go Cause our hearts are locked forever And our love will never die Take my hand tonight One last time Hey Hey Hey Hey The raindrops The tears keep falling I see your face and it keeps me going If I get lost your light's going to guide me And I know that you can take me home You can take me home [Chorus] Take my hand tonight Let's not think about tomorrow Take my hand tonight We could find some place to go Cause our hearts are locked forever And our love will never die Take my hand tonight One last time.

[Chorus] Take my hand tonight Let's not think about tomorrow Take my hand tonight We could find some place to go Cause our hearts are locked forever And our love will never die (Love will never die) Take my hand tonight One last time.

heeey Your lipstick stains On the front lobe of my left side brain I knew I wouldn’t forget you So I went and let you blow my mind Your sweet moonbeam The smell of you in every single dream I dream I knew when we collided You’re the one I have decided Who’s the one of my kind. Chorus Hey Soul sister, ain’t that Mr. Mister On the radio stereo The way you move ain’t fair you know. Hey soul sister I don’t wanna miss A single thing you do tonight. Just in time I’m so glad you have a one-track mind like me, You gave my life direction A game show love connection we can’t deny I’m so obsessed my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest I believe in you, like a virgin, you’re Madonna, And I’m always gonna wanna blow your mind.

The way you can cut a rug, watching you is the only drug I need so gangster, I’m so thug, you’re the only one I’m dreaming of You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there’s nothing I can’t be I want the world to see you be with me
