Have you ever heard someone say it was "raining frogs"?
You might think this is impossible, but in rare cases, it has actually rained frogs! How could this happen? During a tornado or a powerful thunderstorm, water from a pond or lake can be sucked into the air. This includes anything that is in the water.
The storm continues to move. As it travels, it releases the water into the sir. Does this mean that frogs and fish come raining down from the sky? Yes, this is exactly what happens!
Cases of strange things falling down from the sky have been reported for many years. People have seen small frogs, fish, grasshoppers and snails drop from the sky in places like France, India and the United States. Are animals the only things that get swept up by storms? No. In fact, in 1995, it rained soda cans in the United States!
Learning how to sound like a native speaker can be a hard task. But it's something you'll have to do on your language learning journey. If you want to improve your pronunciation,the tips below will be of great value to you.
Speak slowly and clearly. Pay close attention to getting your words out clearly and speaking slowly as you go. When your pronunciation gets better,you can speed up your speaking speed. | Learn the schwa skillfully The schwa is a vowel which sounds like "uh". English speakers pronounce many other vowel sounds as the schwa. Learning when to exchange them can make your English sound more natural. |
Use" He" and" She" correctly Make sure that you call men "he" and women "she". If you mix them up,it can be confusing(混淆的)for your listeners and it is a giveaway that you are not a native speaker. | Fall tone and rise tone fluently In English,the meaning of what you say can change based on the way you say it. Make sure to work on your falling and rising tones so that your meaning is communicated clearly. |
