🔍 Look at examples from the video:

  • I am a teacher. → I'm a teacher.
  • She is a doctor. → She's a doctor.
  • He is an actor. → He's an actor.
  • They are students. → They're students.
  • Negative: I am not a chef. = I'm not a chef.
  • Question: Are you a singer? → Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.

✔️ You / We / They ➜ are (You're / They're)

🗣️

Step 7: Pronunciation – the lazy sound /ə/ (schwa)

🎯 What is /ə/? It's a very short, relaxed sound. You hear it in many job words: teacher, doctor, actor, singer, student.

👉 Listen and repeat. Click 🔊 to hear each word with schwa.

teacher /ˈtiː.tʃər/
doctor /ˈdɒk.tər/
actor /ˈæk.tər/
singer /ˈsɪŋ.ər/
student /ˈstjuː.dənt/

💡 Tip: Your mouth is relaxed and small. Say "teacher" – the last part "er" sounds like /ə/.

✍️

Step 8: Controlled practice – fill in: am / is / are

1. I __________ a student.
2. My sister __________ a doctor.
3. Bob __________ not a chef. He __________ an actor.
4. We __________ happy to meet you!
5. __________ you a teacher? Yes, I __________.
6. Maria and Tom __________ singers.
🎤

Step 9: Speak & record – introduce yourself

🎙️ Talk about yourself: Say your name and your job (or a dream job). Use "am / is / are".

📢 Examples for you:
✨ "Hello, I'm Lucas. I am a student."
✨ "My mother is a teacher. She is not a doctor."
✨ "Are you an actor? No, I'm a singer."

You said:

⭐ Challenge: use a word with the schwa sound: teacher, doctor, actor, singer, student.
