Para terminar,
escucha atentamente
esta conversación
entre Sheila y Ralph.
Las palabras
resaltadas en rojo
están pronunciadas
en la forma débil,
como el sonido de schwa
/ə/.
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
SHEILA:
You mean you don't read a daily paper?
RALPH:
No, I haven't the time.
SHEILA:
So how do you know what's going on?
RALPH:
I listen to the news on the radio in the morning, and I watch the TV news at night.
SHEILA:
And you find that that's enough?
RALPH:
Yes.
SHEILA:
So tell me about the Prime Minister: what was he doing yesterday? Who came to see him? What should he have been doing at 3 o'clock?
RALPH:
I know that ... it's the story at the moment. Some foreign journalists were interviewing him and he didn't realise that he was late for Parliament.
