This document provides examples of how to tell time in English using common time-telling phrases like "o'clock", "half past", "quarter past", and "quarter to". It gives the time in hours and minutes followed by the corresponding phrase, such as 1:00 is "one o'clock" and 10:30 is "half past ten". The document aims to teach English language learners how to read and express the current time.
This document discusses the dimensions of oral communication, including articulatory, acoustic, and auditory dimensions. It describes factors that affect pitch such as idiosyncratic, socio-cultural, and emotional factors. It then discusses systems of pitch movement and how the pitch level of the onset syllable determines the key of an utterance, while the pitch level of the tonic syllable represents the termination. The key system is associated with different meanings depending on the pitch level.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This document discusses dimensions of oral communication including articulatory, acoustic, and auditory aspects. It describes factors that affect pitch such as physical conditions, socio-cultural constraints, and emotions. Pitch movement is analyzed using a tone system of falling, rising, rise-fall, and fall-rise tones. The key and termination of a tonic syllable independently convey meaning through high, mid, or low pitch levels. Key contrasts, adds, or equates meanings while termination imposes varying constraints on responses from the next speaker.
This document discusses intonation in speech, which refers to variations in pitch and melody. It covers different aspects of intonation including tone units, prominence, tone, accentual function, grammatical function, attitudinal function, and discourse function. The document also discusses different approaches to learning intonation such as interacting with native speakers, explicit instruction and analysis, and setting realistic goals around functional communication skills.
An intonation break corresponds to a syntactic boundary and typically occurs between sentences, phrases, and occasionally words for emphasis. Intonation breaks help mark the end of clauses, noun phrases, and lists to resolve ambiguities and chunk information into digestible pieces for the listener. The location and number of intonation breaks depends on factors like grammar, sentence structure, and whether the language is scripted or spontaneous.

The document discusses intonation patterns in English conversations. It provides examples of sentences with different tones, such as statements with rising or falling tones. It also includes examples of agreeing with a statement and then adding new information, such as using "of course" followed by "but". Listeners are instructed to identify the tones in short conversations and practice agreeing and adding new information in partner activities.
This document discusses reasons for teaching pronunciation when learning English as an additional language. It is important for intelligibility so people can communicate effectively in English globally. Approaches to teaching pronunciation include intuitive-imitative, which uses exposure to the language, and analytic-linguistic, which raises awareness through instruction. It is best to integrate pronunciation into listening and speaking lessons and focus on larger units of speech rather than isolated sounds. Techniques include description, listening activities, and communicative practice. The goals are to promote intelligibility and ensure messages are understood.
The document discusses several English consonant sounds:
- Plosives like /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ involve complete closure in the mouth. /m/ and /n/ are similar but /ŋ/ is distributed differently.
- /ŋ/ never occurs initially, often medially like in "thinking", and rarely after long vowels. Its realization as /ŋg/ or /ŋ/ depends on morphology.
- /l/ has two allophones - dark /l/ before consonants and clear /l/ before vowels. /r/ is only pronounced before vowels in BBC English.
- /j/ and /w/
The document discusses political correctness and provides numerous examples of politically correct terms that avoid directly referencing characteristics like gender, race, religion, and physical attributes that could offend or marginalize groups. It notes how PC language aims to be more inclusive through terminology that emphasizes occupational skills over gendered jobs. Examples also include alternative terms for personal attributes, students' academic performance, and pet owners' descriptions of their cats' behaviors.
The document provides information about diphthongs including their definition, characteristics, and classification. It defines diphthongs as sounds consisting of a movement from one vowel to another, with the first part being longer and stronger. Diphthongs are classified as centring, closing, or ending in specific vowels. Examples of each type of diphthong are provided.
Intonation refers to the melody or pattern of pitch changes in speech. It serves various functions including marking prominence or emphasis on certain words, indicating grammatical roles such as questions versus statements, and organizing spoken discourse. The document discusses intonation patterns in English and approaches for learning intonation through interaction, instruction, and setting realistic goals.

2. Myšlenka Nightwish byla zrozena jedné červencové noci 1996, kdy Tuomas seděl se svými přáteli kolem táborového ohně. První tři akustické, náladové písně, byly nahrány mezi říjnem a prosincem 1996. V tu dobu měla skupina tři členy: Tuomase, Tarju a Emppuho. Jméno: Tarja Turunen Datum narození: 17. srpna 1977 Bydliště: Helsinki, Finsko Jméno: Tuomas Holopainen Datum narození: 25. prosince 1976 Bydliště: Kitee, Finsko Jméno: Emppu Vuorinen Datum narození: 24. června 1978 Bydliště: Kerava
3. Nightwish měli být původně pouze akustickým náladovým projektem, avšak nakonec se rozhodli jinak – přibrali do sestavy bubeníka Lorda Juliuse "Jukku" Nevalainena a baskytaristu Samiho Vänsku. Samiho po pár letech nahradil basák a zpěvák kapel Tarot či Sinergy, Marco Hietala. Namísto Tarji, která byla nakonec (r. 2005 ) z kapely vyloučena pro „upřednostňování vlastních komerčních zájmů namísto spolupráce s kapelou“ a „neúctu k fanouškům“, byla v květnu 2007 - po aprílovém žertování heavy-metalového magazínu Terrorizer, že novou zpěvačkou bude nejspíš Sarah Brightman, oznámena nová zpěvačka Nightwish, Švédka Anette Olzon. Jméno: Anette Olzon Datum narození: 21. června 1971 Bydliště: Švédsko Jméno: Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen Datum narození: 21. dubna 1978 Bydliště: Joensuu, Finsko Jméno: Sami Vänskä Datum narození: 26. září 1976 Bydliště: Kitee, Finsko

Wish I Had An Angel I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Y our Virgin Mary undone I`m in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight Deep into a dying day I took a step outside an innocent heart Prepare to hateme fall when I may This night will hurt you like never before Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder I wish...

Greatest thrill Not to kill But to have the prize of the night Hypocrite Wannabe friend 13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing! Last dance, first kiss Your touch my bliss Beauty always comes with dark thoughts I wish...
