[e] 1.舌端靠近下齿；2.舌前部抬高，但略低干[I]的舌位；3.牙床介干半合半开之间，比[I]的牙床略大；4.唇形扁平。

[?] 1.舌端靠近下2.舌前部抬高，但其舌位是四个前元音中最低的；3.开口 比[e]大，是四个前元音中开口最大的音，介于半开和开之间；4.唇形扁平自然。 [?] 1.舌端离下齿，舌后抬高，略高于后元音[a:]; 2.双唇自然成圆形，略小于后元音[a:]; 3.牙床近于开，但略小于后元音[a:]。

[??] 1.舌端离下齿，舌后抬高，明显高于后元音[?]; 2.唇形较圆，比后元音[?] 更圆；3.牙床半开，较后元音[?]的开口程度小。

[k g]两者是一对清浊辅音，发音时舌后抬高，与软腭形成阻碍，气流冲破舌后与软腭的阻碍，由口腔爆破而出。发[k]时，声带不振动，[k]是清辅音；发[g] 时，声带振动，[g]是浊辅音。

[f v]两者是一对清浊辅音，发音时下唇轻轻接近上齿，气流经唇齿间空隙形成摩擦，由口腔而出。发[f]时声带不振动，[f]是清辅音；发[v]时，声带振动， [v]是浊辅音。 4. Play the recording again and ask the students to repeat sentence by sentence.
