Activity 3 Listen and repeat.  
Objective: to practise the sounds: [
] – this; [z] – is
STEP 1: explain that the sound [z] as in the word “is” is very 
easy to pronounce; it is the same as the sound [z / з] in Uzbek / 
Russian. After that, have the pupils repeat the sound in chorus 
and individually.
STEP 2: now explain that the sound [
] as in the word “this” 
is quite different from the sound “z”. The pupils must pronounce 
it in a special way. so, explain to them how to pronounce the 
sound [
]. After that, ask the pupils to take the mirrors you 
asked them to bring today. explain that they must look at their 
tongue in the mirror, put the tip of their tongue between their 
teeth and pronounce the sound by letting the air voiced. After 
they practise it by themselves a few times, you can have the pu-
pils repeat the sound after you in chorus and individually.
