Hello, I'm John Russell.

大家好，我是约翰·罗素*;24|xg#l~M234_。

Today, let's explore the sound of schools: the /u/ vowel sound.

今天，让我们一起来探索一下学校的声音，元音/u/的发音sA1T.*B5@IUQzT。

To make the /u/ sound, your lips should be tense and rounded. /u/ /u/

要发出/u/的音，你的口型应该是圆的，并且稍微紧绷mRfqNNGw(n.。

Your tongue should be slightly tense, and high toward the back of your mouth.

你的舌头应该稍微紧绷，放在嘴巴的后部，稍微抬高q3@~vj!6iOGmx6;4EQi。

I like to say that the /u/ vowel sound is the sound of schools, because school has the sound in it: school.

我喜欢说元音/u/是学校的声音，因为学校这个单词里面有/u/的音nx7[2Nn)]mZhpI,V!Z。

But other words that have a connection to school also have the /u/ sound.

其他与学校有关的单词也有/u/的音.unm@sk&*[5OeCV6Do。

Take the word "student" for example.

我们拿单词“student学生”举例tgQ9x=RwQybxy。

Or the thing that every student dislikes: rules.

还有每个学生都不喜欢的：rules规则UVo4=a[&fE2Rf7b。

The examples I gave you also teach an important point:

我列举的例子也教给你一个重要的点，

the /u/ vowel sound can be spelled with the letters "oo" as in school, or the letter "u" as in student and rules.

/u/的发音可以是字母“oo”拼写组合，就像School一样，或者用字母“u”拼写，就像在student和rules中一样zEU6N92kESSQ67c。

The /u/ sound has a couple more spelling patterns that you should know about.

/u/的音还有几个其他的拼写模式，你应该知道!A#XLUJ~eKyuRJ)84K。

These include the letters "o" and "ew".

比如字母“o”或者“ew”QTe]d&J%_Q|。

Here are some examples: prove, loose, new, drew.

下面是一些示例：prove证明、loose松开、new新的、drew描绘（draw的过去式）yxCb,cVZrmeV+XL1!。

Let's end this video with a quiz.

视频结束之前我们做一个小测验dy^rp.e)#8F。

Can you tell how many times, I say the /u/ sound in this sentence?

你能说出这句话里我说了几次/u/的音吗？
