Jom Belit Lidah

Saya sedang sediakan aktiviti untuk the kids. Hari Rabu nanti ada kelas. This week for English mereka akan buat tongue twisters. Itulah sebab tajuk entri ajak belit-belit lidah :) Berlatih menyebut tongue twisters adalah cara yang baik untuk 'lembutkan lidah' dan baiki cara sebutan kita.

Let's try one of these tongue twisters. Cuba pronounce betul-betul setiap patah perkataan dan pada masa yang sama sebut dengan laju. Tak mau tergeliat lidah! Tergigit lidah lagilah mohon dijauhkan.

I

Suzie Seaword's fish-sauce shop sells unsifted thistles for thistle-sifters to sift.

II
Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore. But if Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore then where are the sea shells Sally sells?

III
A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

IV
Betty Botter bought some butter but, said she, the butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter will make my bitter batter better.
So she bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter,
put it in her bitter batter, made her bitter batter better.
So 't was better Betty Botter bought some better butter.

IV
Out in the pasture the nature watcher watches the catcher. While the catcher watches the pitcher who pitches the balls. Whether the temperature's up or whether the temperature's down, the nature watcher, the catcher and the pitcher are always around. The pitcher pitches, the catcher catches and the watcher watches. So whether the temperature's rises or whether the temperature falls the nature watcher just watches the catcher who's watching the pitcher who's watching the balls.

Boleh tak?
