Transcript

We had heard Berlin was a city bursting with art and music and we were very excited to spend some time there. Here is our list of the 25 best things to do in Berlin.

1. The East Side Gallery is the longest remaining strip of the former dividing wall between East and West Berlin. Today the 1.3 kilometer long wall stands as a memorial to freedom and it is covered in art and graffiti.

2. Right now we're visiting Brandenberg Gate. This gate dates back to the 18th century, and it used to be one of the old gates leading into the city. Now, after the wall came down in 1989 this became a symbol of unity between East and West Germany, so it's an important site to visit.

Word and syllable.

Dividing words into syllables

Hello, girls and boys!

Who Have any of you heard how robots talk? It's a little weird, isn't it? That's how my greeting would sound if I were not a talking pencil, but a talking robot:

– Hello, de-voch-ki and boys-chi-ki!

Each the word, as it were, is crushed, broken into pieces. Do you know what they are called these pieces? Quite right, syllables .

A now I suggest you play robots. I will show you pictures and you name the animals and birds that are drawn there as if you are robots. But before that, put your elbow on the desk and put your chin on the fist. When you will pronounce the words, count how many times the chin slightly presses on the fist. Well, is everyone ready? Let's get started.

here first picture. Who do you see? This is za-yats. And this? Bear.

Is this? Oh laziness, li-sa.

you noticed that when we said these words, the chin pressed the fist twice. This means that these words were divided into two syllable piece. But the fox can be called in another way - the fox. Let's do this too we will pronounce its name in syllables: li-si-tsa. And now we have not two, but three syllable.

This so-ro-ka., in-ro-bay. Three chin presses - three syllables. And this is a wolf. Did you feel? We are only pressed the cam once with the chin . So the word wolf consists of only one syllable .

Oh-oh-oh! I've heard rumors that some guys don't agree with me. they say that the word "wolf" has not one, but two syllables - the first syllable is vo-, and the second is lk. And at someone turned out like this: wolf-to.

Well well, let's try again to pronounce this word like robots, and Let's count how many times the chin pressed the fist. Wolf. Yeah, what am I said? We pressed our chin only once, and when we uttered the sounds [l] and [k], the mouth almost did not open and the chin did not press on the fist. So in the word "wolf" is still one syllable.

A why do you think words consist of a different number of syllables - from one syllable, or two, three syllables? And there are words of four, five and even more syllables. For example, the word "winner" has six syllables: be-di-tel-ni-tsa.

Well Well, now we're going to do a little experiment. Let's say sounds that are denoted by these letters. You already know that all these sounds are called consonants. We put the fist under the chin again and notice do we open our mouth: [m], [g], [dʼ], [b], [p], [cʼ], [hʼ].

Are you sure? In order to pronounce consonants , we close our lips - [m], [b], [n]. Or we press the tongue to the teeth or the palate -, [dʼ], [hʼ]. We just open our lips a little to let the sounds out. Chin without pressing the fist.

A now let's say vowel sounds - a, o, u, i, uh, s. Here we are now each time we open our mouth and press our chin on the fist. No wonder the vowels letters are sometimes called mouth openers.

Well what, you guessed it, what determines the number of syllables in a word? We are already they said: how many times the mouth opens, pressing the fist, so much in the word syllables. And we press the cam only when we pronounce vowel sounds.

Means you can say this:

How much There are so many syllables in a vowel word.

Look guys, the word "wolf" has one vowel, and three consonants. However, it consists of only from one syllable. And the word "deer" has two syllables. In this case, the first syllable is just only one vowel sound [o]. And in the second syllable - a vowel and two consonants. At In this case, the soft consonant [nʼ] is indicated by two letters - en and a soft sign.

What What conclusion can be drawn from all that has been said?

- The syllable can consist of one letter denoting a vowel sound.

- The syllable can have two or more letters.

But the most important and not at all secret information:

- B Every syllable must have a vowel, and only one.

Look on the sound patterns of these words to make sure of this again.

I I hope you have not forgotten that vowel sounds in the diagrams are indicated in red?

B the word "wolf" has one vowel sound, which means one syllable. In the words "deer", "hare", "bear" two vowels, and therefore two syllables. The word "fox" has three vowels and three syllables.

By the way, pay attention to the spelling of the word "fox" . This is vocabulary word, that is, you need to remember how it is written - in the first two syllables it is written letter I. Li-si-tsa.

Well and now it's time to play.

Front you cards with words. Divide them into three different baskets. In the first - words with one syllable. In the second - words consisting of two syllables, and in the third - words of three syllables. Well, who can do it faster? Started!

Well how did you manage? Did it work out for you?

Words consisting of one syllable : Table, stove, dream, bone.
