Listen to the audio and pick out the words in the poem that contain the sound /ɑɪ/.

Horribles Histories, “I’m a knight”

I’m a knight, I’m a knight and I’m a knight
And our only aim in life is to fi ght I’m a knight,
I’m a knight and I’m a knight
We are fighters and our armour’s always tight
And these swords aren’t light!

When your armour is tight, you say “Aiii!!” Practice this poem, exaggerating the /ɑɪ/ sound like this.

Tight /tɑɪt/: compact.
