 Where did you go on
your last trip?

On 2007, I traveled to Sri Lanka with my friends. We flew for 14

hours and it was exhausting. When we arrived, our hotel
didn't have hot water.

We took quick showers for three days in a row. We used to go out

every morning at 8 o'clock to see the city. We were very tired
for the first three days of the trip until they fixed the hot
water. Then, our trip became infinitely more bearable.

We didn't use to have a lot of comfort, but we spent the rest of our
time around the country for two more months. It was one of
the best experiences of our lives.

 Voicing

sounds are categorised according to the
action of the vocal folds in the larynx.

● When the vocal folds are separated, the

airstream passes through them (this gap is
called glottis), with a non-perceivable
vibration. This is a voiceless sound.

● When the vocal folds are nearly together, Consider the following minimal pairs:
the airstream goes through this narrow
space, making the folds vibrate. This is a Jane / Chain Sue / Zoo
voiced sound.
Pen / Ben Vat / fat

Cap / Gap Leaf / Leave
