ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: American English Connected Reading | IELTS Topic: Describe an object you find particularly beautiful

Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Today, I'd like to talk about the connected sounds in a short answer to the question, Describe an object you find particularly beautiful.

Let's take a look.

I love the design of really old cars from the 1930s and 1940s.

I love the design.

The, the.

So here the word the gets reduced and connected to design.

I love the design.

I love the design of really old cars.

here, really could be really or really, i or e, both are fine.

Old cars.

If I say this quickly, it might be ol' cars without any d sound at all.

But if I speak it a little bit more carefully, there's a very reduced d sound.

Old cars, old cars.

Quickly though, really ol' cars, really old cars.

From the 1930s and 1940s, 19 starts with an N,

so the AND loses its D sound and connects the two N sounds together.

And 1940s, they had so much style and character.

Style and character.

Again, we lose the D sound in AND.

Compared to modern cars.

compared to, compared to.

We connect the d and t sounds together.

Actually, when I was in high school, actually, so you could say this as actually with four syllables,

but when you speak it in natural speech, it's actually, actually.

Actually, when I was in high school, I always thought when I grew up, I always thought when I grew up, the T in thought, it's turned into a glottal stop.

I always thought when I grew up that I'd own one.

When I grew up that I'd own one.

So here, up, that, there's a little bit of a break here

because when I grew up is its own chunk of the sentence.

So we pause for just a second even though there's no comma.

I always thought when I grew up that I'd own one.

This P could be reduced to up that up that

or it could be up that up that I'd own one up that I'd own one.

You either finish the sound before the TH or you blend the P sound into the TH.

Both are okay. That I'd.

Now the T at the end of that turns into a tap, that I'd own one.

But of course, but of course, so we could say a course or of course, both are fine, and the T in but should be tapped.

But of course, but of course, they're not practical at all.

They're not practical.

Not practical.

There's a glottal stop before the P there.

Not practical.

Not practical at all. At all.

That T in AT turns into a tap.

The T turns into a glottal stop before a consonant and a tap before a vowel.

Not practical at all to drive around these days.

Around these days.

So here the D gets removed, and the N connects to the TH, around these days.

Sometimes you can find a company, you can, you can, here the word can gets reduced to can,

you can find a company that'll rent you a classic car, that'll rent, so if you speak quickly here,

that'll rent, the L in that'll gets kind of reduced,

and it just turns into I'm not doing a clear sound.

That'll rent turns into that'll rent.

That'll rent you.

Here, rent you.

We could say rent you with a glottal stop, or we could say rent you.

The word you or your, those are kind of special words with connected sounds

because it turns into ch if there's a D or a T right before those words.

that'll rent you, or you could just choose to say rent you, rent you, That'll rent you a classic car.

Classic car.

Those two sounds connect together.

For a few hours or a few days.

Here for and or both get reduced to er.

For a, er a.

For a few hours, er a few days.

For a few hours or a few days to drive around.

To drive, to drive.

The word to here, it's an infinitive form of two, and those usually get connected to the verb, to drive, to drive around.

I'd love to do something like that.

Now here, something, if you pronounce it in a normal tone of voice, a normal speed of voice, then it's just something, like normal,

but you could say something, something, something.

I'd love to do something like that, something like that.

Now that's considered a little bit, a little bit non-standard, but still very acceptable, and you hear it in speech every day in American English.

I love the design of really old cars from the 1930s and 1940s.

They had so much style and character compared to modern cars.

Actually, when I was in high school, I always thought when I grew up that I'd own one, but of course they're not practical at all to drive around these days.

Sometimes you can find a company that'll rent you a classic car for a few hours

or a few days to drive around.

I'd love to do something like that.
