How to pronounce 'The'

When ‘the’ comes before a word with vowel sound we pronounce it as ‘thee’

Examples:

The apple (thee apple),

The umbrella (thee umbrella)

We pronounce ‘the’ as ‘thuh’ when it is followed by a word with consonant sound.

Examples:

The clock (thuh clock)

The pen (thuh pen)

When we wish to place emphasis on a particular word we pronounce ‘the’ as ‘thee’ even if the word starts with consonant sound.

Example:

This is the (thee) book which I was searching for the past 2 weeks.

Library - The Most Interesting Place

The place where I love to go most of the times, is the library. It is quiet and comfortably airconditioned place, where I can borrow six great books.My daughters will always accompany me to the library.

I love to spend my weekends there with my children . we prefer books to television.
Books are my friends from childhood. I enjoy reading them.

Here in Singapore, many free workshops are conducted in the libraries. Generally I like to attend the english workshops.

They also conduct writing workshops with the help of which I got an idea to restart this blog. I know that I am at stage 1 but will try my best to key in my thoughts here.
