Text В: Transport Sustem of the USA.

III.1. Согласование времен в главном и придаточном предложениях.

Согласный звук []

В русском языке подобного звука нет. Звук [] глухой. При его произнесении язык распластан и не напряжен, кончик языка образует узкую плоскую щель, неплотно прижимаясь к нему. В эту щель с силой проходит струя воздуха. Кончик языка не должен сильно выступать за верхние зубы или слишком плотно прижиматься к губам. Зубы должны быть обнажены, особенно нижние, так, чтобы нижняя губа не касалась верхних зубов и не приближалась к ним.

Согласный звук []

При произнесении звука [] органы речи занимают такое же положение, как и при произнесении звука []. Звук [] отличается от звука [] только звонкостью.
