Phonetic drills

Natalia K.Ivanova

Данная разработка, включающая короткие традиционные английские стихи и лимерики, предназначена для отработки произношения английских простых и сложных гласных, согласных и их правильной фонетической реализации в составе слога, слова, синтагмы, фразы.

На основе данных материалов может осуществляться тренировка в акцентно-мелодическом оформлении английских предложений, а также работа по расшире-нию лексического запаса студентов, по закреплению навыков орфографии и транскрибирования.
Надеюсь, что подобранные стихотво-рения и рифмовки будут полезны препо-давателям в их повседневной работе и принесут радость учащимся.

The natives of New England are often very uncommunicative. A traveller engaged a certain villager, Gabriel Gates by name, in the following conversation:

“Who owns this house?”, he asked.
“Moggs”, replied Gates.
“What in the world is it built on?”
“Logs”, answered Gates.
“Any animals hereabouts?”
“Frogs”, said Gates.
“What sort of soil have you?”
“Bogs,” said Gates.
“What do you live on chiefly?”
“Hogs”, said Gates.
“Have you any friends?”
“Dogs”, said Gates.

To meet Mrs Brown.

She gave me a pin.

15. /a/
I think mice are rather nice.

Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They don’t have any chins at all.
Their teeth are white.
They run about the house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn’t touch.
And no one seems
To like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.

As I was going to St.Ives,

How many were going to St.Ives?

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere the Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,

That was against the rule:
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,

But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.

-Why does the lamb love Mary so?

The eager children cry;
-Cause Mary loves the lamb, you know,
The teacher did reply.

19. A PIN /a- /

See a pin and let it lie,
Sure to want one before you die.
See a pin and pick it up,
All the day you’ll have good luck.

Sat in a oak.
The more he heard,
The less he spoke,
The less he spoke,
The much he saw.
Why doesn’t we
As this old Owl.
