تدريب Shadowing: American English Connected Reading | IELTS Topic: Describe an Important Crop in Your Country - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Today I'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short piece answering the question, describe an important food in your country.

Let's take a look.

In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.

In the US, to connect in the, we just use the th tongue position when we say na, in the.

In the US, I would say, I would, would, would.

So that vowel in would, would, it becomes very, very short.

It becomes would, would, I would, I would.

And now I'm not changing this to I'd.

We could change this to I'd and say, I'd say corn is the most important crop.

But in a more formal context, I would write the word would, and I would say the word would in a spoken answer.

I would say, I would say, so listen to how the d sound at the end of would changes into the s.

I would say, I would say, I would say corn is the most important crop.

Corn is the most important.

Mostim, mostim.

So when we have an st ending, we almost always just keep the T if the next sound is a vowel.

So I in important is a vowel, so we'll say most important.

But now think about the glottal stop in important.

Important.

We actually have important.

Important.

In the middle of the word, there's a glottal stop.

And then, because the next word is crop, we have a second glottal stop.

Most important crop.

Important crop.

Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.

Native Americans, the Americans, just connect those sounds together,

Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years.

Thousands of years.

We can take off the in of and just say thousands of years,

thousands of years, thousands of years.

I know the word thousands is a hard word, but there's no sound changes here.

It's pronounced just like it's spelled thousands of years before Europeans arrived, before Europeans arrived, and now,

And now we're gonna take out the D in AND and just say the AND.

And now everyone in the world, everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.

Everyone in the.. connect in the again.

In the world eats corn sometimes.

We make oil and sugar out of corn.

We make goil and sugar.

So connect make oil.

Make goil, make goil and sugar and sugar, take out the d and and, out of corn.

So here we'll connect out to of and so it's almost like it's written O-U-T-T-A.

It is like that.

Outta, outta, people write that if they're writing informally.

In a more formal written answer you would never write O-U-T-T-A

but you see it sometimes in comics or depictions of very casual speech in writing.

So outta corn, we make oil and sugar out of corn and we use it to feed lots of animals too.

And we, we take out the duh in and, and we use, we use, connect the two vowels here, and we use it to,

use it to, connect the two T sounds, it too, and change the vowel in to.

We use it to feed lots of animals too.

Lots of animals, lots of animals too.

Because animal starts with a vowel, we say lots of animals, lots of animals.

I could say lots of animals instead of lots of animals, but that sounds a little bit too informal for this kind of answer.

Corner, something made from corn.

Corner, connect or to the previous word and reduce the vowel.

Corner, corner, something made from corn.

Also from gets a very, very light vowel.

Made from, from, from corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.

Is in a lot of foods.

Here, a lot of foods, a lot of foods.

You can think of it as the two F sounds are connecting

or you can just think that the of word is connecting to lot.

A lot of, just like out of before.

A lot of foods people don't even realize.

People don't even realize.

Here we're going to take out the T in DON'T and say DON'T EVEN.

DON'T EVEN REALIZE.

In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.

Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived, and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.

We make oil and sugar out of corn, and we use it to feed lots of animals too.

Corn, or something made from corn, is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
