SCHWA IN UNSTRESSED SYLLABLES


Listen to the poem and pay attention to the words which rhyme.





Mr Porter loves his pasta.
No one else can eat it faster.
Mr Porter's sister Rita,
Buys the pasta by the metre.
Mr Porter's older daughter,
Boils it all in tubs of water.
(From the book English Pronunciation in Use, by Mark Hancock)

The syllables in red ink are schwas
