 Listen and repeat these examples of the target sound.right wrote rhyme carrot sorry dress far away war and peace  Important for listening! In South East English and many other accents, you only pronounce /r/ if there is a vowel sound after it. So for example, in far /fa:/ and car /ca:/, you do not hear it, but in far away /fa:r∂wei/ and car engine /ca:rend3in/, you pronounce it because it is followed by a vowel sound. In other accents, including American, the /r/ is pronounced.  Note: The sound /r/ affects the vowel sound before it: see Unit 14 and Unit 19 . | ||

Exercises
 Add the sound /l/ or /r/to the beginning of these words and write the new words. Remember;think of sounds, not spelling.

Then say the pairs of words. Example:

I worked late that day and I didn't arrive home until 10 o'clock-I was very wet because of the rain. Then, to my surprise, my key didn't fit in the lock. So I looked closely at my keys and saw that they were the wrong ones. I had left my house keys at work. So I got back on my motorbike and rode back to the office to collect them. I got home really tired, so I went to bed, read for half an hour, switched off the light and went to sleep. | |
