SLM (Flege, 1995, 2003) is based on the assumption that the speech learning mechanism remains intact across the life span. It predicts that adults retain the ability to acquire new phonetic categories in their L2, contrary to the notion of a “critical period” (Lenneberg, 1967; Penfield & Roberts, 1959). However, the acquisition of L2 speech sounds depends on the perceived cross-language phonetic distance and the state of development of the L1; thus, in this view, the L1 acts as a template or filter

September 8th 2006, the day that had a change in my life. The day I first came to America. Coming to America was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Knowing I 'm leaving my own country, my friends and relatives behind saddened me. Leaving my homeland, Vietnam, meant that I had to learn a completely new different language and make new friends.

The things they carried are a story written by Tim O’Brien about a group of US solders that are fighting in the Vietnam War. This story centers on First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross his band of brothers.  In this story we follow Lt Cross through the jungles, in the caves, and across the rice patties of Vietnam. We get the rare opportunity of looking into what a man thinks and does when he is stranded thousands of miles from his home, family, and friends. The name of this story suggests what it is about;

With the production of each sound their first has to be air inhaled. This inhalation phase is ten percent of the process. When producing the word /sit/ it is like the quiet breathing inhalation process except it is quicker by about 1/10 because talking does not need as long of process. First, the quiet breathing begins with air pressure being taken into the lungs to cause the diaphragm to contract. The inhalation of air will cause the diaphragm to contract and flatten.

Three Days “You have exactly three days,” the scary Neptunian said. George Buckner turned off his 40” TV in shock.

Anderson says, “Death

“Hãy đến đây và giúp mẹ nói chuyện với cô,” my mom would utter to me as she nods her head and smiles nervously to the cashier at the department store.
