Os animais são uma parte especial do nosso mundo.
Eles vêm em muitas formas e tamanhos.
Alguns são grandes, como elefantes, enquanto outros são pequenos, como borboletas.
Os animais são importantes para o equilíbrio da natureza.
Precisamos cuidar deles e respeitar seu espaço.
Devemos lembrar que todos os animais têm um papel especial na Terra, e é maravilhoso observar e aprender sobre eles.

Os animais ao nosso redor — SMALL TEXT B1-B2 LEVEL.

 As we have known that ‘个gè’ the most general measure word; used for people, round objects, abstract things, such as questions / ideas, etc.

‘只zhī’ is for animal and one of certain pair things; piece or item.

We’ll learn more measure words from a song. Before our reading,  let’s familiar with the number counting as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10
And then upgrade to the unit of count to hundred ‘百bǎi’,  then to  thousand ‘千qiān’,  to ten thousand ‘万wàn’, and a hundred million is ‘亿yì’.

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 1 of 15: /æ/ black cat. The mouth must be open and wide for this sound, maybe a little more than you are used to in your native language.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /æ/, /æ/, /æ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
black
cat
bad
can
have
laugh
sad
tax
thank

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
eggplant
gather
happen
master
command
family
unsatisfied
understand
imagine

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The mad cat had a hat.
It is bad to have a laugh when your family is sad.
I can imagine you’re unsatisfied with the master’s command.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.
