Elocution Practice
Duologue
| Henry | Hello, Harriet, Honey, how wonderful to see you here! |
| Harriet | Henry, What a hoot! How are you? |
| Henry | I have been horrendously busy – I have hoards of healthy work, and heaps upon heaps of happy hungry customers! |
| Harriet | How heart-warming to hear that, Henry. How did that happen? |
| Henry | It was at the Huntingdon summer cricket match – the heat really did the trick! It was hazardous at first, the risk was at its height and customers eyed me in horror with half-hitched heads. |
| Harriet | Were they hateful towards poor Henry? |
| Henry | Oh Harriet, they heaved and howled to get to the hoarding of ‘Henry’s Happy Half-Hour’. I used some of Huntingdon’s haystacks to hold the herds, but it was hopeless . . . hopeless, Harriet, horrendously hopeless! |
| Harriet | Gosh, Henry! How did you manage? |
| Henry | Like a half-wit, Harriet. |
We hope that you have found today’s lesson beneficial and enjoyable.
Don’t forget to bring the sound of ‘h’ into your every day speech sounds for practice.
