Pronunciation Practice 1) Read the following passage aloud with proper expression and voice modulation. Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do, once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversations?’ So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. 2) Read the following passage aloud with proper expression and voice modulation. Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think. First of all he said to himself, ‘That buzzing-noise means something. You don't get a buzzing-noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something. If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee.’ Then he thought another long time, and said, ‘And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.’ And then he got up, and said, ‘And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.’ So he began to climb the tree. 3) Read the following passage aloud with proper expression and voice modulation. Next morning Peter came again with his goats, and Heidi went up to the pasture with them. This happened day after day, and in this healthy life Heidi grew stronger, and more sunburnt every day. Soon autumn came and when the wind was blowing across the mountainside, the grandfather would say, ‘You must stay home today, Heidi; for the wind can blow such a little thing as you down into the valley with a single gust.’ It always made Peter unhappy when Heidi did not come along, for he saw nothing but misfortunes ahead of him; he hardly knew how to pass his time, and besides, he was deprived of his abundant dinner. The goats were so accustomed to Heidi by this time, that they did not follow Peter when she was not with him.
