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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
Take the word "student" for example.
我们拿单词“student学生”举例。
Or the thing that every student dislikes: rules.

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