SCRIPT :

Good morning everyone, on behalf of Team 2, welcome to our presentation. Let me briefly introduce
myself. My name is … and today I’m here to talk about ( chiếu slide 1 ) letters and sounds in English. My
objective today is to differentiate two pairs of consonants ( chiếu slide 2 ) first is /g/ and /k/ and second
is /h/ /w/ and /j/.

Now, let’s begin with the first part ( slide 3 ) /g/ and /k/. Before that, I would like you to listen carefully
to the following words ( slide 4 ) ( xong ấn ấn từng cái nút cho chạy audio ). Can you guess which is /g/
which is /k/ ? If you can, congratulation!! But if you can not, that’s ok, I will guide you.

First is (slide 5 ) /g/ sound. If you don’t know, this sound is a voiced velar stop sound. It is voiced which
means you use your vocal chords to make the sound; is a stop sound which is made by building up air
pressure by stopping air flow and then releasing it. A velar sound which means it is produced with the
back of the tongue touching or near the soft palate. And here is how we pronounce the sound ( slide 6 )
(đọc qua chữ trên slide) ( ấn audio 3 lần ) Besides that, I have some rules to use the /g/ sound in a word
here ( slide 7 ) First rule is ( đọc trên màn hình ko cần đọc example ) Second rule is …. Next, on the
screen here ( slide 8 ) are some tongue twisted sentences, can I have a volunteer to speak these up ?
( mời ng giơ tay ) Ok, good/ Great job … Okay so now we’re moving to the next part is ( slide 9 ) /k/
sound. It’s also a velar stop sound but unvoiced which means while you pronounce this sound, your
vocal chords stay still. And here ( slide 10 ) is how we pronounce it ( đọc chữ trên màn hình, ấn audio ). I
also have some rules (slide 11 )when using the /k/ sound. Rule number one is…..number two is….(đọc
hết các rules ko cần example ) And now is tongue twisted sentences ( slide 12 ). I would like to have a
volunteer… And here is some notes ( slide 13 ), you can capture it or note it down ( dừng khoảng 5 8s )

Now lets move to the second part which is ( slide 14 ) /h/ /w/ /j/. They are single consonants and I will
begin with ( slide 15) /h/ sound. Well, /h/ sound is known as the “voiceless glottal fricative,” which
means that the sound is made by bringing two parts of your mouth or throat very close together and
pushing the air through them. And here is how we pronounce it ( slide 16 )( đọc chữ rồi ấn 3 lần ) Next
we gonna practice a little bit ( slide 17 ) ( bấm audio ) Okay so moving to the next sound is ( slide 18 )
/w/. The /w/ sound is called the “labio-velar approximant,” which means that you round your lips and
form a narrow space at the back of your mouth with your tongue. It is an approximant sound which is a
sound made by creating a narrow space in your mouth through which air flows. In this case, it’s both the
space between your tongue and the top of your mouth and the space between your lips and here is how
we pronounce it ( slide 19 ) ( đọc chữ rồi ấn audio 3 lần ). We gonna practice a little bit, too ( slide 20 )
( ấn audio ) And last but not least, the /j/ sound ( slide 22 ) The /j/ sound is called the “palatal
approximant,” which means that you form a narrow space in the middle of your mouth with your
tongue, kinda simular to the /w/ sound. The sides are blocked so the flow of air just goes through the
middle of your mouth. And here are detailed steps to pronounce it ( slide 22 ) ( đọc chữ, audio x3 ) Lets
practice with some word thát contain the sound ( slide 23 ) ( audio ). Well, to the tongue twisted part!!
( silde 24 ) I need some volunteer to read these sentences for me. ( chọn ng giơ tay ) Because time is
tight, you may want to consider capturing this notes ( slide 25 )
Okay, so, I’ve covered the points that I needed to present today. If there’s anything you’re not clear
about, feel free to ask any questions. Well then, ( Slide 26 ) that’s the end of my presentation. May I
thank you all for being such an attentive audience!!
