Mindset for IELTS - Level 1 (Unit 06: Leisure Time)



When we speak English, we pronounce the key words in a sentence more clearly than the other words.These are usually nouns,verbs, adjectives. We say the little ‘grammar' words (and, some, to, for, of. etc.) quickly and don’t give them their full pronunciation. We call these
‘weak forms'.
