American English Pronunciation: Lesson 4: Vowel Sounds /eɪ/ & /ɛ/
source: Helena Daily English 2017年9月28日
♥ Helena Daily English channel: https://goo.gl/1CwjYZ
♥ G+: https://goo.gl/rKYjwn
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The English alphabet has five vowels, a, e, i, o and u, but it has about 15 main vowel sounds. For some learners this is one of the most difficult aspects of American English to master. Speakers of languages with fewer vowel sounds are likely to speak English using only the same number of sounds that exist in their native language. Sometimes they do not even hear the distinction between certain sounds in English. Consequently, non-native speakers might pronounce “hill” and “heal” the same way. Similarly, the words sell and sale, or cup, cop, and cap may also sound the same when spoken by a non-native speaker.

1. “MY FLIGHT WAS OVERBOOKED, AND I GOT BUMPED TO A LATER ONE.”
A “flight” is a trip by airplane. If the flight is “overbooked,” it means that the airline sold too many tickets, and there is not enough space on the plane for all the people who have purchased tickets. This means that some people will get “bumped” to a later flight – they can’t go on the flight at the original time, and have to wait for a different flight later.
2. RECOVER FROM THE JET LAG.”
“Jet lag” is when you travel to a different time zone, and your body’s “clock” is different from the local time. This makes you wake up too early or feel tired in the middle of the day, for example. Depending on the time difference, it can take several days for your body to adjust to the new time zone. We can also use the word as an adjective: “I’m jet-lagged.”
3. “MY HOTEL WAS IN A REALLY SEEDY AREA.”
A “seedy” area is a place that looks dirty, disorganized, and possibly dangerous.
4. “I WAS MUGGED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!”
If you were mugged, it means that a robber (or thief) stole valuable things from you, such as your wallet, cell phone, purse or bag, or jewelry while you were on the street or in another public place. In broad daylight” means that the event happened during the daytime and was clearly visible.
Mugging may be with or without violence. If a weapon was used, we often say “mugged at knifepoint” or “mugged at gunpoint.” (Alternatively, you can say “robbed at knifepoint” or “robbed at gunpoint.”)
5. “WE FORGOT TO BRING BUG SPRAY AND GOT COMPLETELY BITTEN UP.”
“Bug spray” (also called “bug repellent” or “insect repellent”) is a chemical product you can apply to your skin to keep insects away. If you got “bitten up,” it means you got lots of bites by mosquitoes or other insects.
6. “I ENDED UP WITH HUGE BLISTERS AFTER WALKING.”
“Blisters” are pockets under your skin filled with fluid. People often get blisters on their feet after walking, running, or hiking for a long time. You can also get blisters if your shoes don’t fit well. The phrasal verb “ended up” is used to describe the final result of something.
7. “SOMETHING I ATE DIDN’T AGREE WITH ME, AND I GOT THE RUNS.”
If you say that a food “didn’t agree with you,” it means that it made you a little bit sick. Your stomach felt agitated and maybe you threw up (vomited) or got the runs (diarrhea).
8. “I HAD TO CATCH THE RED-EYE TO GET BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING.”
A “red-eye” is a flight that leaves very late at night and arrives early the next morning. It is called a “redeye” because you can’t sleep very well on the plane, so you usually arrive tired, with your eyes red and irritated from lack of sleep!

American English Pronunciation: Lesson 1: Main Vowel Sounds
source: Helena Daily English 2017年3月17日
♥ Helena Daily English channel: https://goo.gl/1CwjYZ

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The English alphabet has five vowels, a, e, i, o and u, but it has about 15 main vowel sounds. For some learners this is one of the most difficult aspects of American English to master. Speakers of languages with fewer vowel sounds are likely to speak English using only the same number of sounds that exist in their native language. Sometimes they do not even hear the distinction between certain sounds in English. Consequently, non-native speakers might pronounce “hill” and “heal” the same way. Similarly, the words sell and sale, or cup, cop, and cap may also sound the same when spoken by a non-native speaker.

Past Simple vs Present Perfect
source: To Fluency 2017年11月13日
# The past simple is used for actions that finished in the past and have no connection to the present.
The present perfect is used for actions that haven't finished.
The example I gave is this:
- My grandma never went to Madrid
- Paul has never been to Madrid
My grandma died a long time ago. Therefore, the action of her (possibly) going to Madrid is over.
Paul is still alive. The action of him going or not going to Madrid continues.
We use the simple past with past time expressions. This includes:
- I went there YESTERDAY
- She told me TWO HOURS AGO
- They went to London IN 2002
# Present time expressions are more difficult. What tense you use depends on what you're talking about.
For example:
- I've had a great day (in general)
- I had a great day today (talking about work that has now finished)
The present perfect is stricter in British English. For example:
- Did you have breakfast yet? (you'll hear this in American English)
- Have you had breakfast yet? (only in British English)
USING THE PRESENT PERFECT WITH JUST
- I just saw her (American English)
- I've just seen her (British English)
