SOUND Focus:



  1. Short sounds
Unstresssed syllable of words starting with schwa are very short, weak and difficult to hear:  
Examples: 
alone/ alive/ aware.


Don’t you get lonely in that big house?
No, I like living…alone

Is the bank near here?
Yes, it’s…about…five minutes…away…….


 b. Elision of /h/ sounds 
     /h/ is sometimes not pronounced. 

Examples:
 Does he like it?
 I used to love her but I had to kill her.
