BBC Learning English - Talk about EnglishJuly 11, 2005About this scriptPlease note that this is not a word for word transcript of the programme as broadcast. In the recording and editing process changes may have been made which may not be reflected here. Callum: Hello and welcome to Talk about English. I’m Callum Robertson.I n today’s programme we are looking at the topic of pronunciation, we'll beanswering a question on spelling and pronunciation and looking at whathappens to certain sounds in words when people are speaking naturally andfluently.To discuss these topics I’ve been joined by teacher, teacher trainer andmaterials writer, Alan Stanton. Hello AlanAlan:(brief hello)Callum: First today, a question about spelling and pronunciation, Rohini, who's living in the United States, emailed us and wants to know why we use the article 'a' infront of the word European – a European. European begins with the letter 'E'which is a vowel, so he's wondering why don't we use 'an'Alan:to recap – sounds not same as letters,although European begins with a vowel letter, it's actually pronounced as aconsonant. Elaborate with further egs if necessary. As a sound-based rule100% - there are no exceptions. Other examples: an honest man, an MP(contrast: a member of Parliament), an sae (contrast: a stamped addressedenvelope), an hour, a university (compare: an uncle –same letter u but twodifferent pronunciations)Talk about English © BBC Learning English July 11, 2005 Page 1 of 6Natural tendency to join words together in the easiest, simplest and smoothestway(Leads on to a mention of the boundaries between words when spoken. Tend tomake them as smooth as possible to enable fluency.)Callum: One thing that is very common in fluent speech is linking.Brief recap of consonant to vowel and /w/ /j/ linking.We looked at consonant – vowel linking is phrases such as ‘out of order’.Linking w between vowel sounds – No entryLinking j between vowels – see itCallum:There's another kind of linking to take a quick look at ..Alan:This is with ‘r’. Those British speakers who don't pronounce final 'r' will reintroduce it when the next word begins with a vowel. So for example theword ‘there’ – in RP for example, no ‘r’ sound at the end – but if the next wordbegins with a vowel then we do pronounce the ‘r’ – e.g. ‘there is’(but it should be said that there are many accents which do pronounce the ‘r’sound in the first place)Some examples:FourFour eggsWhere is the car? (no r)(but there is a linking r in ‘where is’)The car is hereTalk about English © BBC Learning EnglishCallum: Today we're looking at some more features of natural fluent speech.What is it that happens when native speakers are talking that makes it difficultto catch the words, even when you know them.One thing we've looked at is linking, which sometimes changes or adds asound to make it easier to say. But there are other things that also happen.Alan: We've looked at what happens when a word ends with a consonant sounds and the next word is a vowel sound , and when there is a vowel sound to vowelsound link. But what happens when there are two consonant sounds the same,one at the end of a word, one at the beginning of the next?Callum: We have an example here of that:INSERT EXAMPLEI'm a bit tiredCallum:What can you highlight from this example?Alan: Linking I'm_a, weak form 'a', but also we have the word 'bit', which ends in the consonant sound /t/ and that's followed by the word 'tired' which begins withthe same sound. When this happens we don't pronounce both - so not, bittired (pronouncing both) – but join the two together but we don’t hear the first t– at the end of bit.)Talk about English © BBC Learning EnglishWhen we say ‘I’m a bit tired’ we can’t really hear the t sound at the end of bit.What happens is that our tongue is in the right position to say t but we onlyrelease this sound when we say the next word.INSERT EXAMPLESWe have a lot to doTell me what to saySit downCallum:This sounds quite subtle and difficult and is it really necessary for people to do this when they talk.Alan: Probably not important to try to do it, because by trying to do it can give unnatural emphasis.In fact, learners should never actually try to do this, because the whole point isthat it happens in a very natural way without making any effort at all. Butknowing that it happens can help you understand what you hear. It may helpyou to work out the grammar.Callum: Let's have a listen to some examples of that, when you listen to these examples, can you tell what tense they are?INSERT EXAMPLEI’ve finished it.Talk about English © BBC Learning EnglishShe's slept for 3 hoursAlan: Because I can see them written down in front of me I know that they are both present perfect – I have finished and She has slept – but we have reduced ‘haveto ‘ve’ , so we don’t hear it separately from the f sound at the beginning of‘finished’. Similarly, we have reduced ‘has’ to ‘s’ and we don’t hear itseparately from the following ‘s’ sound in ‘slept’.This makes the present perfect sound just like the past simple.Of course, in real life the context makes it clear which tense we are using, orwe may hear words such as ‘yesterday’ or ‘last week’ which we can use withthe past simple but not with the present perfect. In fact, it may not matter verymuch which tense we use. That may sound a bit shocking to students who areaccustomed to doing exercises in which they have to choose the right tense, butreal language can be very messy.Callum: There's one more feature we of fluent, connected speech that we're going to look at today. See if you can work out what it is. You are going to hear anumber of examples – in each case you'll hear the word, then you'll hear thatword in a sentence. Something will happen to that word in the sentence, canyou work out what it is? Here's a clue, concentrate on the last sound of theword. Here are the examples.INSERT EXAMPLESNext – I'm going next week – next - next weekWorst – That was the worst job I ever had! – worst - worst jobJust – Just one person came to the party! – Just – just oneCan't – I can't swim – can't – can't swimCallum: Did you hear the difference. Alan, what's happening there?Talk about English © BBC Learning EnglishAlan: In rapid speech /t/ sound at the end of a word often disappears completely if there are consonant sounds on either side. In other words, when we have threeconsonant sounds in a row and the one in the middle is t, the t will oftendisappear. Can hear this in individual words to – like Westminster or postman–This also happens with /d/ sound.Callum: That's all we have time for in today's programme, before we go, a quick recap of the features we've looked at so far:Alan: W e've seen that words run together in different ways,•they can link•they can merge•and they can drop soundsCallum: Remember you can listen to our programmes online and do a range of exercises including pronunciation practice on our website atHope you can join us next time for more Talk about English.

6 Minute EnglishBusiness English: PunctualityNB: This is not a word-for-word transcriptFeifei: Hello I'm Feifei and welcome to another episode of 6 Minute English. Neil: Hi, I'm Neil.Feifei: Oh, here you are Neil, I was just about to start without you.Neil: No need, no need, I'm never late for anything, you know that! Punctuality is my middle name.Feifei: Punctuality meaning: being on time for things.Neil: Yes, punctuality means not being late. It's very important in Western working culture. Are you a punctual person Feifei?Feifei: I'm always punctual in my working life, but in my personal life…Neil: OK, I don't want to know. That's interesting Feifei because the psychiatrist Dr Keith Ablow, says the three most common causes for lateness are:firstly, worrying about the appointment, secondly, a need to show power orsuperiority, and the third reason for people being late is that they have aneed to know they are loved. So Feifei, which one is you? Sounds like youare a mixture of all of them…Feifei: No comment - let's move on.Neil:Let's hear what some of our friends and colleagues have to say about punctuality.I think living in London, you find the most common reason for being late is transport because it's not very reliable - whenever you are rushing somewhere, you think you are OK with time, but suddenly your train is delayed: if you have to change to another train, you might miss that train and it's going to make you be even later than you intended to be.Feifei: Well that's very interesting. Generally speaking, if you're going to be late for something, it's polite to call and let people know.Neil: It is. And here's a clip of someone doing just that.Joe:Joe Smith speaking.Sarah:Hi Joe, it's Sarah. I'm on my way to the meeting but I'm afraid the traffic's terrible. I'm sorry but I think I'm going to be late.Joe: OK, don't worry. What time do you think you'll get there?Sarah:To be honest, it's hard to say. I've been here for 30 minutes and the traffic is at a standstill. I think I'll be about 15 minutes late.Joe: OK, thanks for letting me know. If you're going to be any later, call me again.Sarah: OK, will do. Sorry again. See you soon.Neil: So, that was Sarah calling to say she's going to be late and if I'm not mistaken -Neil / FF: It's Business Betty!!BB:Hello! I'm not late am I?Neil: Not at all, and I wouldn't care if you were.BB:Thank you Neil.Feifei: You're just in time to tell us how to say you're going to be late forsomething.BB:Oh that's good, I hate being late for things. Right - so to business. Now, in the English speaking world, if you are going to be late for an appointment,you should let people know. There are three things you need to do here.First, apologise. Second, explain why you're late. And third, say when youthink you'll arrive. So, first: apologise. Here's what Sarah said:Sarah:I'm sorry but I think I'm going to be late.BB:"I'm sorry but I think I'm going to be late" - nice and simple. Sheapologised again at the end of the conversation.Sarah:Sorry again.BB:Second, explain why you're late. Sarah said:Sarah:I'm on my way to the meeting but I'm afraid the traffic's terrible. I've been here for 30 minutes and the traffic is at a standstill.BB:Let's hear that again.Sarah:I'm on my way to the meeting but I'm afraid the traffic's terrible. I've been here for 30 minutes and the traffic is at a standstill.BB:And third, say when you think you'll arrive.Sarah:I think I'll be about 15 minutes late.BB:And again:Sarah:I think I'll be about 15 minutes late.BB: And then, stop worrying! When you finally get to your meeting, don't go rushing straight in. Take a couple of minutes first, to calm down andfreshen up, so that you appear professional, not panicky. A quick apologywhen you arrive – "Sorry I'm late everyone" and then it's down to business.So, I hope that's helpful…Neil: Very very helpful!Feifei Yes, thanks Betty!BB: Good, because I have to go now, I've got a meeting and I don't want to be late. Bye!Neil / FF: ByeNeil: She's very good…Feifei: Shall we listen to the clip again?Neil: I think we should…Joe:Joe Smith speaking.Sarah:Hi Joe, it's Sarah. I'm on my way to the meeting but I'm afraid the traffic's terrible. I'm sorry but I think I'm going to be late.Joe: OK, don't worry. What time do you think you'll get there?Sarah:To be honest, it's hard to say. I've been here for 30 minutes and the traffic is at a standstill. I think I'll be about 15 minutes late.Joe: OK, thanks for letting me know. If you're going to be any later call me again.Sarah: OK, will do. Sorry again. See you soon.Feifei: So that's what to do if you're running late.Neil: Yes, so next time Feifei, can you set off a bit earlier? I don't want to hang around.Feifei: Yes set off earlier, you Neil.Neil: Well, you don't want to talk about your personal life, do you? So I won't mention that thing.Feifei: You were the one that was late for the programme.Neil: Yes, but generally speaking, it's you, isn't it? Anyway, make sure you join us for the next episode of 6 Minute English.Feifei: And DON'T be late! Bye!Punctuality: Useful phrases。
