Exercise 3-6: Reading the [ə] Sound      CD 3 Track 11 

When you read the following schwa paragraph, try clenching1 your teeth the first time. It won't sound completely natural, but it will get rid of all of the excess lip and jaw2 movement and force your tongue to work harder than usual. Remember that in speaking American English we don't move our lips much, and we talk though our teeth from far back in our throats. I'm going to read with my teeth clenched3 together and you follow along, holding your teeth together.

What Must theSun Above Wonder About? 

Some pundits4 proposed that thesun wonders unnecessarily about sundry5 and assorted6 conundrums7. One cannot but speculate what can come of their proposal. It wasn't enough to trouble us,* but it was done so underhandedly that hundreds of sun lovers rushed tothe defense8 of their beloved sun. None of this was relevant on Monday, however, when thesun burned up the entire country. *[ət wəzənənəf tətrəbələs]

* Pause the CD and read What Must the Sun Above Wonder About? twice. Try it once with your teeth clenched the first time and normally the second time.
