Read a story
Once upon a time, there was a poor farmer called Fred. He and his wife Doris lived in a small, old house. One day, a fairy visited them.
“Fred, I’d like to give you three wishes,” said the fairy.
Fred and Doris smiled at each other and said, “Thank you, but we don’t need any wishes.”
“I can give you some gold. Then you won’t have to work,” said the fairy.
“Thank you. We’re poor,but we’re happy,” said Doris.
“ I can give you a big,new house,”said the fairy.
“Thank you. Our house is small and old ,but it’s warm and nice,”answered Fred.
“I wish you a happy life,” said the fairy.

音标/əʊ/的发音方法
1.先发/ə/的音
2.然后慢慢滑向/ʊ/的音就可以了
3.注意口型从开始的半开到最后收圆的变化过程
4.值得注意的是发音是不要把/ʊ/发成长音/u:/,也不要用中文中的"乌"来代替它。
音标/aʊ/的发音方法
1.先嘴巴放松张大,嘴唇向两侧分开。
2.舌身放平,舌尖轻抵下齿,发/a/。
3.然后嘴巴收圆合拢。
4.舌尖离开下齿,舌身后缩,舌后部身软颚抬起,发音慢慢滑向/ʊ/。
5./aʊ/与汉语中的"奥"非常相近,而汉语的"奥"要比/aʊ/短促,发音不要开始时就把嘴收成圆形。
