[p] Peter’s plane is plainly painted .Peter is paid plenty to paint planes .
[t]Too many teenagers tend to waste their time watching television.
Ask them if they can read the tongue twisters as fast as possible. Then they find it not easy to read them fluently and quickly. Later, the teacher can lead in the topic. Today we are going to learn the pronunciation about the letter “p, t”.
Step 2: Presentation
1. Listen to the recording carefully, and try to find what the listening is about. Meanwhile, circle the words with letter “p” and “t”.
2. Listen to the recording for the second time. And try to find rule of the pronunciation of letter “p” and letter “t”, and pay attention to differences of these two letters’ pronunciation in the letter group- “sp, st”. They may say that in the words like teacher and play, the letter “p” and “t” are voiceless. However, in the letter groups of “sp” and “st”, they should make a sound . And they pronounce differently.
3. Conclude the pronunciation of letter “p” and letter “t”. Tell them that the letter “p” and “t” are voiceless consonant, while in the letter groups of “sp” and “st”, the letter “p” and “t” are voiced consonant.
