Online Class Notes (Joe)

Write 3 natural answers to the question ‘How are you?’. Remember that the standard answer “I’m fine. How about you?” is not necessary when we talk to friends. We can say our true feelings.

Pronunciation

colleague – ko leek

masks – make sure you say the /s/ clearly

face – avoid saying an ‘i’ or ‘e’ sound in this word. It should be like the /a/ in ‘play’.
If you don’t say this sound clearly the word can sound like ‘fish’ or ‘fist’.

boss – the /o/ sound is the same as the /o/ in ‘project’
