The story of the 26 letters, the story behind the 26 letters of the English alphabet, you don t know

There are 26 letters in the alphabet country, and one day ABC goes out to travel, how many letters are there in the alphabet country?

20, because ABC went on a tour by UFO (O).

Anyone who has studied English knows that beginners start with the 26 letters of the English alphabet. When we were children, we shook our heads and sang alphabet songs, but we didn't know that there was a doorway behind these letters.

The author describes two properties of the English alphabet: one is the letter name (the name of the letter itself) and the other is letter soud (the pronunciation of the letter). The latter is something that we often ignore and even unconsciously when learning English.

The author particularly emphasizes that the correspondence between sounds and letters, between sounds and words, and between sounds and objects are all connected by sounds. Sound is the focus of English enlightenment.

In foreign preschools, there is another way to sing alphabet songs:

a says a, a says a, alligator alligatoraaa.

z says z , z says z, zebra zebra zzz.

It reminds me of a time when in a colloquial English group discussed the pronunciation of the "r" in a word (some people couldn't tell the difference between the "r" and the "l"). The pronunciation of the letter "r" itself is similar to the "two" in the slogan "one-two-one" in Chinese. But what about the "r" in the word?

If you try to pronounce "right", you will find that the pronunciation of "r" here is not "two" at all, but like the short "rui", which is the letter sound of the letter "r".

Because of the experience of the previous oral group discussion, combined with the analysis of the author in the book today, I suddenly realized. 26 English letters, you have to learn to listen first.

As people know, there are 26 letters in the English language. But the origin of these 26 letters, I'm afraid not many people know. It turns out that the English alphabet is derived from the Latin alphabet, and the Latin alphabet is derived from the Greek alphabet, and the Greek alphabet is derived from Phoenicia.

In the sky of my memory, there are many beautiful stars, and each star records a story of my growth. Now I'll give you the brightest star.

That summer, my mother took my cousin and me to Baiyangdian to play. On the third day, we took a boat to the Grand View Garden. When I bought the ferry ticket, because my height was more than 1 meter, I couldn't get a free ticket, and I needed to buy a children's ticket, but my mother's money was not enough, and it was not easy to come here once, so my mother stayed, let me and my cousin go, and my mother was not at ease, because we were children after all.

The boat was about to leave, and it was too late for the second father to send the money, so my mother said to me: "Chengcheng (my nickname), otherwise, you and your cousin should go back to the second father's house first." "I think, I can't go to Daguan Garden when I go back to my second father's house, so I won't do this kind of "loss-making" business!

I thought for a while and said, "Mom, I was half-squatting when I bought the ticket, so why don't I not buy the ticket?" Mom said

That's not going to work. But my mother couldn't stand my hard work, so she said, "Since you want to go so much, I will promise you, but this is the first and last time such a thing."

I nodded in agreement.

When I bought the ticket, I was half-squatting, and the ticket seller said, "This kid doesn't have to buy a ticket." "Haha!

I did it! During the boat ride, I said to my mother, "I'm so smart!"

The mother said, "You kid ......."I quickly said, "I know it's wrong to evade fares!"

Mom? Salute! I grimaced, and my mother laughed at me.

It's been a long time since this incident, but I still remember it vividly. I know it's not right to evade fares.
