Exercise 5-9:Little Lola
Now that we've done this, instead of L being a hard letter to pronounce,
it's the easiest one because the tongue is stuck in that position.
Pause the CD to practice the reading on your own,
again, with your tongue stuck to the top of your mouth.
Read the paragraph after me with your tongue in the normal position.
Use good, strong intonation.
Follow my lead as I start dropping h's here.
Little Lola
felt left out in life.
She told herself
that luck controlled her
and she truly believed
that only by loyally following
an exalted leader
could she be delivered from her solitude.
Unfortunately, she learned a little late
that her life was her own to deal with.
When she realized it,
she was already eligible for Social Security
and she had lent her lifelong earnings
to a lowlife in Long Beach.
