介绍:
In our last class, we looked at the pronunciation of ／ʌ／. For example: Cup
上一节课我们看了 ／ʌ／的发音。比如说: Cup
Today we will practice the pronunciation of ／ə／. For example: a banana
今天我们要练习／ə／ 的发音。比如说：a banana
The pronunciation of ／ə／ is almost the same as ／ʌ／. But ／ə／ is shorter than ／ʌ／.
／ə／ 的发音和／ʌ／的差不多。但是／ə／比／ʌ／更短

Everyone, please say this with me: letter
大家跟我一起说: letter
The pronunciation of ／ər／ is almost the same as ／ə／. But there is an ‘ r ‘ sound at the end of ／ər／. You should curl your tongue up.
／ər／ 的发音和／ə／的差不多。但是／ər／后面有个 ‘ r ‘ 的声音。要卷舌头。
We will now look at some words and sentences. Some of the words have ／ər／. Please listen carefully. After I finish reading, please repeat after me.
