Let's go (w) into the next room.

Do you know (w) everyone here?

I've moved to a new (w) office - next to (w) Oxford Circus station.

I knew (w) I would be late.

Are you (w) in the same place?

You (w) always say that.

It was so (w) exciting.

I don't know (w) all the students, but I know (w) all the teachers.

How old is he?

I don't know anything about him.

Recognise and produce links with all the sounds.

This conversation contains words ending with each of the consonants practiced in this unit, followed by a vowel, and also of linking with [r, j] and [w]. Look for an example of each type of link and mark the link.

A: Anne's just phoned. She and Diana are both on their way. Is dinner nearly ready? Can I help with anything?

B: Yes. Can you get out two eggs from the fridge?

A: Which eggs? The large ones or the small ones?

B: The large eggs. Small eggs are not good.

A: OK. Anything else?

B: Yes. Squeeze another orange, and put the fresh orange juice in a jug, please.

A: Right. What next?

B: There's a pie in the oven. Take it out, and slide it under the grill. Then finish laying the table for me. Each person needs a knife and fork, and a cup and saucer. And then, could you scrub all these potatoes?

A: Come on, Anne and Diana!

Now practice the conversation linking the words smoothly.
