Note) Tips for pronouncing voiced consonant /z/
To produce this sound, place the tip of your tongue near your tooth ridge, and push air through the gap. It
should sound like the noise of a bee.
Para produzir esse som coloque a ponta da sua língua perto da linha de encontro dos dentes e empurre o
ar através dela. Deve parecer o zunido de uma abelha.

Zac was a very lazy boy until he got a job at the zoo. He started working with zebras, lizards, chimpanzees,
buzzards, and even grizzly bears! He enjoyed working in small animal hospitals and playing music for the
baby chimpanzees. Zac would rise at dawn and stay up all day just to take care of his new friends. He would
even try to sneak in some honey desserts for the bears! Zac became a model citizen and worked very hard
for his animals. Even today Zac sings to baby chimpanzees and throws them surprise birthday parties!
