Exercise 9-3: Finding V Sounds        CD 4 Track 30 


Underline the five V sounds in this paragraph. The first one is marked for you. Don't forget "of."


Hello, my name is________________. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation 1 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 Iused to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like  walking down a staircase. 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?



Chapter 10. S or Z? 


The sound of the letter S is [s] only if it follows an unvoiced consonant 2. Otherwise, it becomes a Z in disguise. When an S follows a vowel 3, a voiced consonant, or another S, it turns into a [z]. The following exercise will let you hear and practice S with its dual 4 sound. There are many more Z sounds in English than S sounds.
