We can't avoid worrying about the world around us which seems to be falling apart and we experience a feeling of defeat; but do we realize what are the things that really matter in life? I guess we need to be reminded of.
When I saw this video filmed at Seattle Children's
Hospital, I felt so moved and touched! They are the true heroes, the
ones who struggle no matter what life brings them! So this is a tribute to
all those who keep putting up a fight with a smile on their faces and
teach us a lesson of hope and courage."Stronger",by Kelly Clarkson, is not only a heartening song but also a perfect way to practise the weak vowel sound schwa /ə/ that we find in unstressed words (auxiliary verbs, prepositions and articles) and unstressed syllables.
Here are some examples:
He was feeling down /wəz/
I can do much better /kən/ /ˈbetə/
You have to put up a fight /həv/ /tə/ /əp/ /ə/
