As you know, in this class, by the end of the year, you are expected to reach the B2 level. One of the criteria for this level is the following one : « Je prononce globalement correctement, à la fois pour les sons et l’intonation. » I will often write the transcription of words that are difficult to pronounce. • La différence entre voyelles longues et voyelles courtes : Les voyelles françaises sont de longueur moyenne, alors que celles de l’anglais sont soit longues, soit courtes. Les voyelles courtes sont aussi brèves que possible ; les longues durent plus longtemps que les voyelles françaises et se notent en ajoutant « : » derrière. Par exemple, il faut faire attention à la distinction entre la prononciation des mots eat /ˈiːt/ et it /ˈɪt/, pitch /pɪtʃ/ et peach /ˈpiːtʃ/, grin /ˈɡrɪn/ et green /ˈɡriːn/... • Le /ə/ (que l’on appelle « schwa ») est le phonème voyelle le plus utilisé de l’anglais, il remplace la plupart des voyelles quand elles sont inaccentuées. • Les diphtongues et les triphtongues : Les voyelles peuvent être regroupées par deux ou trois pour former une nouvelle voyelle, elles deviennent alors une diphtongue (deux phonèmes voyelles) ou triphtongue (trois phonèmes voyelles). Il suffit d’associer les deux sons en insistant sur le premier qui est le plus important. Ex : ship /ˈʃɪp/, sheep /ˈʃiːp/, hat /ˈhæt/, heart /ˈhɑːt/, pepper /ˈpepə/, paper /ˈpeɪpə/, test /ˈtest/, taste /ˈteɪst/, quite /ˈkwaɪt/, quiet /ˈkwaɪət/ • Les consonnes sont soit sourdes (articulées sans vibration des cordes): /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/, /θ/, /s/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /h/, soit sonores (articulées avec une vibration des cordes vocales) : /b/, /d/, /g/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /v/, /ð/, /z/, /ʒ/, /dʒ/, /l/, /r/, /w/, /j/.

Match each book cover to its literary genre and definition: -Graphic novel -Science Fiction -Short Story -Autobiography -Novel ______________________________________ -Personal account of one’s own life. -Shorter than the novel, it is meant to be read at one sitting and is therefore compact. -Mixes the formats of the comic and the traditional novel. It tells a story through vignettes that contain illustrations and texts but, unlike traditional comics, it is aimed at a more adult audience and the story has literary overtones. -A long, fictitious prose narrative. -Narrative taking place in the future, or other planets.
