Describe the process of making the sound /o/ and /p/ and explain the differences between them.
The sound /o/ is produced with the tongue low in the mouth and pushed slightly back, while the lips are rounded. On the other hand, the sound /p/ is a quick, popping sound made by placing the lips together firmly and then pushing air out quickly. The main difference between the two is that /o/ is a vowel sound, whereas /p/ is a consonant sound. /o/ involves an open mouth without any blockage, while /p/ includes a quick stop of breath.
Discuss the importance of using descriptive language in a narrative essay and provide examples of sensory details that can be used.
Descriptive language is crucial in a narrative essay as it helps to immerse the reader in the story and make it more engaging. By using vivid details, such as sensory imagery, the writer can create a more vivid picture in the reader's mind. For example, instead of simply stating "The sun was shining," one could describe the scene by saying, "The golden rays of the sun gently warmed my skin as I walked along the sandy beach." This description appeals to the reader's senses, making the experience more real and memorable. Other sensory details that can be used include sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
