Brandy in the Baby's Bottle!
{Telephone rings.) Bob: Bob Batterby.
В a b s: Oh Bob, this is Babs. I'm baby-sitting for Betty and my brother Bill. I'm sorry to bother you but...
Bob: What's the trouble? No problem's too big when Bob's on the job!
В a b s: Oh stop being stupid. Bob. It's baby. I put her on the balcony on a blanket with a biscuit to bite on and I think a bit of biscuit... She can't breathe.
Bob: Bang her on the back, between the shoulder blades.
В a b s: I've banged her till she's black and blue.
Bob: Try putting a bit of brandy in her bottle.
В a b s: Brandy in the baby's bottle! Oh Bob!
Bob: Sorry, Babs. Sounds bad. I'd better bicycle over. Be with you before you can say "bread and butter".
Babs: Bless you, Bob. Bye-bye. Be quick.
A Bit of Beef at the Picnic
Paul: Picnics! I detest picnics!
Kate: Paul, do stop grumbling and get the basket out of the car. We couldn't stay indoors today. It's beautiful!
Paul: I do like a proper Sunday dinner. What I like is roast pork with apple sauce and gravy, peas and carrots and cabbage, and treacle tart for pudding...
Kate: Here's a perfect spot! Spread the rug behind this bush. Good. Look, we've got brown bread and butter and pâté and cold chicken ...
Paul: Blast! I'm sitting on an ant's nest! Picnics!
Kate: And the salad's got tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, beetroot...
Paul: Rabbit food! Oh, for a plate of boiled beef and dumplings!
Kate: Oh dear! Paul, I do believe your bit of beef is coming this way! Isn't that a bull?

Sound [t]
First practise the target sound /t/ in words from the dialogue. Read the words aloud.
/t/ is LOUD before a vowel.
One-syllable words: two to top ten tell tins Thai time
Two-syllable words: counter upstairs
Three-syllable words: customer telephone tomatoes
Four-five-syllable words: photographer cafeteria
Notice how two /t/ sounds join together.
I want to take the lift to the top. The telephone is next to the cafeteria.
/t/ is often quiet at the end of a word.
hat coat skirt shirt first want what get got right
cricket bat opposite supermarket
'What happens if the next word begins with a vowel?
I want a hat and a coat and a skirt and a ...
Practise a quiet /t/ here before a consonant.
hats coats skirts shirts eighth what's restaurants cricket bats
Sometimes there will be loud and quiet /t/ in the same word. Decide if these are loud (L) or quiet (Q).
EXAMPLE assistant (L Q)
travel agent( ) twenty-two( ) tonight ( ) student ( ) important ( ) department store ( ) tomatoes ( ) toilet ( )
Now look at the words in the box below and decide whether the target
sound is loud (L) or quiet (Q).
EXAMPLE to (L), skirts (Q)
to ( ) skirts ( ) basement ( ) telephone ( ) cricket bat ( ) exactly ( ) cafeteria ( ) tomatoes ( ) fruit ( ) tell ( ) top ( ) Thai ( ) time ( ) next ( )
Track 43. Read the dialogue below and guess the missing words with the sound /t/ Number 1 and a) have been done as examples. l-7 have a louder /t/; a-g have a quieter /t/.
