  1. Target Sounds in Nature

    When we talk about wild animals, pronouncing their names clearly helps us communicate naturally and effectively.

    Listen to and practise the key vowel and consonant sounds in these common wild animal names:

    • Lion (/ˈlaɪ.ən/): Notice the open /aɪ/ sound at the beginning.
    • Eagle (/ˈiː.ɡəl/): Notice the long /iː/ sound at the start.
    • Whale (/weɪl/): Notice the clear /eɪ/ diphthong and the silent ending letter.
    • Bear (/beər/): Notice that it rhymes with care and pear, not with hear.
    • Crocodile (/ˈkrɒk.ə.daɪl/): Break it into three clear beats: croc - o - dile.

    Tip: Pay attention to silent letters and long vowels when naming wild animals!

    Where Do Animals Live?

    Habitats are the natural homes of wild animals. In English words with two or more syllables, one syllable is pronounced stronger and louder than the others. This is called word stress.

    • DES-ert (/ˈdez.ət/): The stress is on the first syllable. A dry, sandy habitat where camels and lizards live.
    • JUN-gle (/ˈdʒʌŋ.ɡəl/): Strong first syllable with a soft ending.
    • O-cean (/ˈəʊ.ʃən/): Two syllables, with the main beat on the first syllable.
    • FOR-est (/ˈfɒr.ɪst/): Strong first syllable followed by a light second beat.
    • PO-lar re-gion (/ˈpəʊ.lər ˈriː.dʒən/): Clear long vowel sounds in both stressed parts.

    Practise saying these habitat names aloud by tapping on your desk on the strong beat!

    Speaking with the Right Voice Tone

    In spontaneous conversations about life in nature, our voice naturally goes up or down. This musical pattern in our voice is called intonation.

    1. Rising Intonation in Yes/No Questions

    When we ask a question that can be answered with 'Yes' or 'No', our voice goes up at the end:

    • Does a dolphin live in the ocean? ↗
    • Can eagles fly high in the mountains? ↗

    2. Falling Intonation in Information Questions and Statements

    When we ask 'Wh-' questions or share a fact, our voice goes down at the end:

    • Where do brown bears live? ↘
    • They live in the forest. ↘
    • Tigers hunt in the grasslands. ↘

    Using correct intonation makes your English sound confident, authentic, and easy to understand.

    Practise with a Friend!

    Combine your correct pronunciation, word stress, and natural intonation in short pair dialogues about wild animals and their habitats:

    Student A: What is your favourite wild animal? ↘
    Student B: My favourite wild animal is the eagle! What about you? ↘
    Student A: I love crocodiles. Do they live in the desert? ↗
    Student B: No, they don't! They live in rivers and lakes. ↘

    Remember to keep your rhythm steady and pronounce the stressed syllables clearly!
