B. Listen to the dialogues, practise reading them, linking the words smoothly. Lay stress-and-tone marks. Record the dialogues. a) - Are you going to the party with ÿ Alan? - I can’t go with ÿ Alan. - Or with ÿ Eric? - I can’t go with ÿ Eric. - Oh. - Why don’t you go with both ÿ of them? - To tell you the truth, ÿ I can’t go with ÿ eithre. - You’re not going? - I’m going with ÿ Alec. - With ÿ Alec? Both ÿ of us? [Mortimer:49] b) - One cup ÿ only, Mrs Lobb, ÿ I think... I diet, ÿ actually. No bread, ÿ of course... oh, that beautiful cake, ÿ if you like. Not very big, ÿ I beg you... oh, too much, ÿ I assure you. Well, that’s not large, ÿ I suppose... If ÿ I have to have ÿ a double portion please make the second slice small. Cream? On both ÿ – oh dear! With ÿ even more cream? Really, this ÿ is ÿ excessive... I wish ÿ I could persuade you not to... - Some jam ÿ on ÿ it? - Nothing ÿelse. - Ah. - The jam will ÿ indeed be the climax! [Mortimer:55] C. Listen to the fable. Write down the word combinations in which final consonants are linked to initial vowels. Add examples from your text book (The New English Course). Practise reading them smoothly.
