In Paper 5, one of the things students are
assessed on is their pronunciation of individual sounds. It is
important that students identify which particular sounds they
have problems with and work gradually to improve them.
The following nine sentences contain all the
different sounds in the English language. Click on the speakers,
listen to the audios and repeat the sentences. Make a note of the
sounds which caused you particular difficulty and remember to
practise them regularly.
1. Coughs and sneezes spread diseases.
2. Warm hands, cold heart.
3. The way to a man's heart is through his
stomach.
4. A sore throat, a hoarse voice and a
runny nose? Could be flu.
5. Five cracked ribs, a fractured hip, a
broken leg and a sprained
ankle. Ouch!!
6. How about an injection in your jaw?
7. Take care, nurse. My shoulder hurts,

8. They'd rather use crutches than a
wheelchair.
