Phonetics. Звук [ou]. Звук [o]

Звук [ou]

Звук [ou] – дифтонг. При произнесении звука [ou] губы сначала слегка растянуты, а затем округляются, но не выпячиваются вперед. Первый элемент дифтонга напоминает нейтральный звук [ə], скольжение происходит в направлении [u]. Например:

[bout] boat – лодка; [ouk] oak –;дуб

[vout] vote – голосовать; [‘ounli] only – только;

[rouz] rose – поднялся; [ould] old – старый;

[nout] note – примечание; [oupn] open – открывать;

[loud] load – груз; [snou] snow – снег;

[‘foutou] photo – фотография; [‘jelou] yellow – желтый.

На письме звук [ou] передается:

– буквой o, если за ней следует согласная буква + немая е или любая другая гласная: note, rose, chose, those;

– буквосочетанием -oa: boat, coat, oak, load;

– буквосочетание -ow, стоящее в конце слова, также можете передавать звук [ou]: snow, yellow;

– перед ld и в конечном положении в слове буква о также читается как [ou]: old, potato, tomato.

Звук [O]

При произнесении звука [O] рот широко открыт, губы округлены, но не выпячиваются вперед. Если вы правильно расположили органы речи для произнесения этого звука, то он должен иметь оттенок между русскими звуками «а» и «о».

Например:

[bOks] box – коробка; [lOt] lot – жребий;

[kOk] cock – флюгер; [sOft] soft – мягкий;

[gOt] got – получил; [rOtn] rotten – гнилой;

[pOt] pot – котелок; [wOt] what – что;

[Ogn] often – часто; [‘Ofis] office – офис.

На письме звук [O] передается буквой о, если после нее стоит одна или несколько согласных: box, got, pot, soft, ox, odd.

Canada

Canada is a vast country, bigger than the United States, bigger than the continent of Australia. It is in fact one of the world's largest countries. Its area is about 10 million sq km. As Canada extends for thousands of miles from the Arctic Ocean to the United States and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, all kinds of weather conditions and scenery are to be found there. The population of Canada is 29 million people. The capital is Ottawa; the main cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

The word Canada comes from one of the Red Indian languages - "Kannata", meaning "a number of huts". Canada is often called the "Land of the Maple Leaf". The maple leaf is the national emblem of Canada.

The story of Canada goes back over 400 years. The French were the first settlers to this country. In 1759 Canada became part of the British Empire. In 1931 was Independence from Britain.

Today Canada is an independent federative state, consisting of 10 provinces and 2 territories. It is a member of the Commonwealth, headed by the Queen of Great Britain. The two official languages are English and French. But many other languages are spoken: Italian, Chinese, German, Polish and Greek.

Canada is a country with a very high standard of living. This country is particularly advanced in the areas of health, education, social protection and human rights.

Notes to the text:

To extend – простираться British Empire – Британская Империя

Extreme sports

Speed… excitement… danger... You can find all these in different extreme sports that have become popular for the last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In sky surfing you jump out of aero plane and use a board to "surf" the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on land can be just as dangerous.

Winter sports have always an element of danger. For example, snowboarding, which has all the excitement of surfing but on snow, is more dangerous even than skiing. Probably the most dangerous of all the new winter sports is snow rafting. You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed – and you can’t control the boat!

Of course, water sports have always been fun. Ice diving is for those people who are absolutely crazy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frozen lake. And, if that’s not enough, you try to walk upside down on the ice! One feels cold just thinking about it.

A lot of people are not fit nowadays. It’s a big problem today. If you want to feel fit you'd better go in for one kind of sport or another. I think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is above wealth. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. Doing sports a man become strong, healthy and gay. He begins to take care of his health.

How attention influences what is perceived.

Attention is very important in coping with everyday problems of living or for an adequate understanding of perception, learning and other crucial psychological processes. It is not difficult to find examples in psychopathology, mental retardation and education which demonstrate the necessity of adequate reception and use of information from the external and internal environments if we are to function as “normal” human beings. The ability to attend and its negative counterpart, distraction has been widely considered in the literature of psychology, psychiatry and pedagogy.

The number of outstanding people in psychology who have concerned themselves with the phenomenon of attention is rather impressive, including such names as E.B. Titchener, W. James, S. Freud, etc. It is unfortunate that interest in this process has waned in experimental psychology.

The lack of scientific studies of attention is partly caused by the complexity of the process which makes it difficult to cope with in the experimental laboratory.

Notes to the text:

To perceive – понимать, постигать

To copе with – cправляться с

Perception – восприятие

Psychological – психологический

Mental retardation – задержка умственного развития

Counterpart – аналог

Distraction – отвлечение внимания

Has been widely considered in… – широко рассматривалось... (Present Perfect Passive)

It is unfortunate – к несчастью
