Find the 14 /ɔ/, the 7 /ɔw/ and the 5 /ʌ/ sounds Last week I was on a boat called "golden law". I was with my dog and my hog. We were going to Poland. When we arrived to the shore a police officer asked us for our pastports. I thought they were in my luggage but they actually were in my office . So, we had to return and come back next Autumn. I hope we aren't gone for that time because we are too old.
