A. Speechwork: Revision of Vowel Sounds

Content: Vowel Sounds.

There are forty-four sound segments in English comprising twenty vowels and twenty- four consonants.

 

The production of vowel sounds take place as the air stream flows from the lungs to the mouth without any obstruction.

 

The vowel in English is classified into two main groups: pure vowels also called monophthongs and diphthongs. The monophthongs are further sub – divided into short vowels and long vowels.

A list of monophthongs /pure vowels

  1. /i:/ as in seat, key, chief, people, mete, quay
  2. /I/ as in sit, pretty, women, village, enough, waited
  3. /e/ as in pen, head, any, bury, ferry, bread, rest
  4. /әe/ as in cap, had, hand, plan, tank, sad, mat
  5. /a:/ as in hard, father, heart, path, dark, far, arm
  6. /D/ or/Ɔ/ as in cot, cock, wash, clock, hot, lot, shop
  7. /Ɔ:/ as in court, fork, cork, tall, law, bought, fore
  8. /Ʊ/ as in good, foot, cook, book, should, woman
  9. /u:/ as in moon, rude, loose, lose, soup, flute, juice
  10. /˄/ as in sun, mother, come, cup, fun, money, but
  11. /3:/ as in firm, bird, first, shirt, skirt, term, serve
  12. /ә/ as in allow, above, around, doctor, sister, alive, forget, religious

 

A list of diphthongs

  1. /ei/ as in play, rake, pale, state, cake, day, wake
  2. /ai/ as in pie, my, height, plight, mite, bright
  3. /ͻi/ as in oil, boy, buoy, toil, foil, noise, joy
  4. /әu/ as in go, hoe, home, no, know, coat, goat, rose
  5. /au/ as in house, now, cloud, rowdy, brow, howl

Reading Assignment: Exam Focus English JSSCEpg 143 – 145

 

B. Grammar: Revision of Some Parts of Speech

Content: Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adjectives.

As the body of a person has different works or functions, so a sentence is made up of different words performing different functions. Each word is named according to the function it performs in a sentence.

 

A noun is a naming word which names people, things, animal, places and ideas e.g. Ade, boy, man, girl, Bisi, woman, child, chief, king, princess, ant, goat, London, school, church, beauty, anger, empathy etc.

Agirl was looking for her book.

The book is on the table.

A pronoun replaces a noun in a sentence to avoid repetition e.g she, he, they, we, them, us, her, it, you, herself, whom, that, why etc. She is a good student. I love my dog.

 

An adjective qualifies a noun, i.e. it tells us more about a noun. E.g beautiful, ugly, emotional, tall, old, fantastic etc.

Examples:

A beautiful woman.

She is beautiful.

An unkempt hair

Verbs are words that tell the action of the nouns which are usually the subject or objects of the sentence. e.g beat, sleep, sing, talk, jump, dance, has, have, does, may etc. I talk a lot. She dances well.

 

Evaluation: Name the different parts of speech and give three examples each.

    • Paradox: contains two opposite ideas which make it seem impossible but possible after deep consideration e.g. The child is the father of the man.

      More haste, less speed.

      Nigeria‘s unity lies in her diversity.

    • Irony: stating the direct opposite of one’s intention or getting the exact opposite of one’s expectation. E .g: You must be very clever for scoring 20% in your examination.

      Chief Bigo is so wealthy that he can even take from a beggar.

    • Alliteration: is the repetition of the same consonant sounds in sequence.

  11. Topic: Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

    Content: Meaning and Usage

    Verbs as action and stative words can be used transitively or intransitively.

    A transitive verb expresses an action which passes across to one or more persons or things. ( Note that the word transitive’ originally came from the Latin word ‘transire’ which means “to pass across”). Transitive verbs take direct objects.

    Examples:

    Kanu kicked  the ball

    Subject T.V object

     

    Olu and saka have many books.

    Subject T. V object

     

    All the boys have hoes.

    Subject T.V object

     

    An intransitive verb is used without any objects. Examples

    Janes  was singing.

    S  IV

    The fishsmelled.

    S  IV

    The babiescried.

    S   IV

    A dogbarks.

    S IV

    A cockcrows.

    S  IV

    Ieateveryday.

    S IV   ADV

     

    The intransitive verbs which are called linking verbs include: set, lags, appear, feel, grow, look, prove, remain, seem, taste, smell, turn etc.

    Intransitive verbs may be turned into transitive verb, if a preposition is used.

    Example: She laughed at him.

    I looked at the painting.

    We talked about the film.

    They wished for happiness.

    I have asked for permission.

    E. Topic: Writing

    Content: Elements of Composition

    Composition is also known as continuous writing which involves the use of a lot of sentences to express an idea, one’s opinion or explain a concept.

     

    A composition has a beginning, middle and an end. These parts have specific names- the introduction, the body and the conclusion.

     

    An introduction has two important jobs. First, it should capture the reader’s interest and tell what the entire composition is about. It is the first paragraph of the composition. The sentence that states the central idea of the composition is called the thesis statement. This helps the writer focus on the main point. It provides the central idea that all other ideas in the composition must relate to closely.

     

    The body contains paragraphs that tell more about the central idea. It may consist of any number of paragraphs that prove or illustrate the thesis statement. In the body, a writer uses supporting paragraphs to provide more information about the thesis statement. The length of the body may vary. The writer may need only two paragraphs to explain the central idea or four or five paragraphs to make the idea clear. The body is always the longest section.

     

    The conclusion ties all the ideas in the composition together. It restates the central idea and may summarise supporting ideas. It should signal completion.

    THE PRESENT TENSE

    Present tense expresses an action taking place now. Except in the case of the verb ‘be’, the only change that takes place in the form of the verb to indicate the present tense occurs when the verb agrees with a third person singular subject.

    Examples: Sule always reads after meals.

      The bus arrives at 8a.m

     The sun sets in the West.

     Sugar is sweet.

    Speakers

    You sleep, eat, wake, do, have

    3rd person

     

    She/He/It sleeps, eats, wakes, does, has

     

    They sleep, eat, wake, do, have

     

    In the case of the verb ‘be’, one more change takes place in the form of the verb to indicate the present tense.

     

    Singular

    Plural

    1st

    I am a student.

    We are students.

    2nd

    You are a student.

    You are students.

    3rd

    He/She is a student.

    They are students.

    The examples given above are in the simple forms. Other present tense forms include the present continuous, present perfect and present perfect continuous.

    Examples:

     

    Present Continuous: E.gI am working.

     

    Present Perfect: E.gI have worked.

     

    Present Perfect Continuous:E.g I have been working.

     

    THE PAST TENSE

    The past tense is used to talk about a past action.

    Regular verbs form their past tense by adding ‘-ed’ to the simple form of the verb, while irregular verbs form their past tense in different ways.

     

    Examples: Regular

    Present Tense

    Past Tense

    Past Continuous:E.g I was working.

    Past Perfect: E.gI had worked.

    Past Perfect Continuous:E.g I had been working.

     

    THE FUTURE TENSE

    Future Tense is used to express a future action by using the modal auxiliary verbs ‘shall’ and ‘will’ e.g

    I shall travel soon.

    You will see the manager when he arrives.

    Or by using the form ‘be going’ and ‘to’ infinitive or by using the present progressive and an expression indicating the future:

    Examples: Emekais going to succeed.

    It is going to rain today.

    Adamuis leaving tomorrow.

     

    The future tense is also used to refer to a future action in a conditioned sentence; used to give command or provide explanations, used in the passive form. Examples:

    If you fail your exams, father will scold you.

    The meeting will start at eight sharp.

    You will dowhat I say.

    The fried rice will be cooked in a few minutes.
