Week 7_Tongue Twister

A tongue twister is a difficult phrase, sentence or rhyme to speak and have similar sounds. You have to repeat it several times to get a nippy tongue. ‘Practice makes you perfect’.

Tongue twister helps us to avoid mispronouncing when you speak something, especially when you speak in front of a lot of people. For examples, when you present something, give a speech, broadcasting something in radio or in television.

I have some tongue twister’s examples:

A tree toad loved a she-toad Who lived up in a tree. He was a two-toed tree toad But a three-toed toad was she. The two-toed tree toad tried to win The three-toed she-toad's heart, For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground That the three-toed tree toad trod. But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain. He couldn't please her whim. From her tree toad bower With her three-toed power The she-toad vetoed him.
