Phonetics

The strangest lesson.. BY FAR! But a good one! :)

Today was our last session, and did something a little unexpected. We were looking at phonetics and how words sound. One word can sound so many different ways.

We started off using our names, typing them which related to a specific scenario. The first scenario was someone saying my name just after I'd annoyed them. Notice the bold 'a' at the end. We tend to stick that invisible 'a' on the

end of words when they're being accented more.

Below is the scenario of someone saying my name because they want something! The end of the name is accented more, and sounds longer.

Try working out the rest!!

After messing with our names, we started thinking about transport. We were told to be specific. So, if I was to write the noise of an engine... what type of engine is it? What make of car is it?

Since I'm not too clued up on my cars, I stuck with the basics.

Below, I've thought of the sound of a bus when it stops.

Oh yeah, we also thought about the sounds we hear on a day to day basis.

...and another transport one for you!

It's supposed to represent a car engine starting. :)
