-TT- Part2

I've completed my twisters!
Today's vowel tongue twister:

As he gobbled the cakes on his plate,
the greedy ape said as he ate,
the greener green grapes are,
the keener keen apes are,
to gobble green grape cakes,
they're great!


For this course of Eng Pronunciation, up next is poem recital. It would be a 'Pronunciation Poem'. ;-)

Tongue Twister

I've gotta say this as fast as possible and as perfect as possible:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

This tongue twister is the /p/ consonant kinda twister. Next week I've gotta present a vowel twister. Anyone kind enuff to share a vowel tongue twister? It must be 4 lines and I can't seem to find a 4-line one over the net.

Funny, in the midst of doing the oh so technical fyp I get to twist with this. BTW, should I stress the /d/ sound in picked? Sounds a bit weird..Pronunciation course. hmm so that's why it is necessary to do so?

Unavoidable days

Beginning this month and till May will be the busiest months ahead. I have many unsolved things and more coming in. Why can't things be cleared one at a time? One is in the process, then comes next and another soon all waiting to be cleared as soon as they arrive.
Bad days, stressed days, hectic days go away... em..I have to make them go away by getting back to work. -_-"

Flu

For the past 2 days i was down with flu. Today, condition improved but kept feeling tired. The loratadine, paracetamol, and cough mixture makes me feel sleepy. Tired as it is, I am trying to open my eyes wide and pay attention to lectures. And ya, my fyp. Time is running out and i'm under pressure to do it. Drowsy... gotta sleep.
