The speech therapist pronounces the sound A in one exhalation, either in a high or a low voice, and the children must find and show with their finger a place on a wavy path (a hole or a slide) in accordance with the pitch of the sound A.This is how we develop prosodic side speech and speech breathing.
5. Now try it yourself, pronouncing the sound A and changing the pitch of your voice, and walk along the path with your index finger. (The speech therapist makes sure that the children, moving their finger along the path, change the pitch of their voice with one exhalation.)

IN Everyday life We periodically face the task of searching for words using certain parameters. Unfortunately, using paper dictionaries is somewhat difficult when you don’t remember the exact spelling of a word. Moreover, the search takes a lot of time, and sometimes, due to infrequent updating of the dictionary database, you do not find the word you are looking for at all. We have combined many dictionaries and automated the word search process, which now takes only hundredths of a second.
Presented to your attention words starting with A. Almost every word in our dictionary contains a definition, and various search options allow you to almost always find a result. In this section of the site we have provided the ability to search for a word using a rubricator.
To find all words starting with A, you must sequentially indicate the first letter of the searched word, then the second, third... ultimately you will find the word by selection. In addition, you will find useful filters based on word length located in the “Search Options” block.
In other sections of the project it is possible "Word search by mask and definition" , "Composing a word from a word or letters" , "Solving and composing anagrams online" and many others.
Our database contains more than 300,000 words of the Russian language and is well suited for solving crosswords and scanwords, solving school and student problems, and an assistant in board and online games.
We hope that the received list of words starting with letter A will significantly save your time, and the search results are guaranteed to help you solve the problem.

By giving someone compliments, we thus show our admiration, praise and approval - by his manners, appearance or correctly expressed thoughts. Almost always compliments bring positive emotions - after all, every person has a little pride and vanity.
Compliments are necessary, they create the necessary atmosphere Have a good mood. A compliment must be truthful and natural, unobtrusive and not have a hidden negative connotation. If you try not to throw words left and right, but express a positive attitude towards your interlocutor, then this can give the conversation the necessary ease. But if a compliment feels mocking, pretentious or understated, then it becomes vulgar and offensive.
Compliments are successful if they are delivered at the right place and time. Said in right moment, in a polite, graceful form, praise will bring pleasure to the person for whom it is intended. Pronounced compliments can instill confidence in a shy person, help relax a withdrawn person, and lift the mood of someone who is sad. But when giving a compliment, you should avoid excessive delight and exaggeration.
You should not give compliments without thinking at all about the form in which they were delivered and how timely they were. Praise should not contain open flattery. Often a girl is told: “You look great today!” Now imagine that instead of being grateful for the praise she received, a woman asks: “Did I really look much worse yesterday?” or to “How beautiful you are today!”, and in response the question involuntarily arises: “But on other days you can’t say this about me?” When giving a compliment, it is always important to remember: it should not have hidden meaning, subtext. Compliments said casually, in passing, sound indecent, and one should not be surprised that the response to such words is also not serious.
It is undesirable to give moralizing advice with a compliment, for example: “This color suits you very well, you should dress in this color scheme.” You must give compliments in a confident voice, with a smile, kindly and with all your heart. You should avoid cheap theatrical effects, ostentatious facial expressions, feigned enthusiasm, and gestures must correspond to the spoken words. There is no need to allow even hints of irony in compliments.
When planning to give a compliment, it is important to calculate the possible reaction to it. If you expect a negative reaction to a compliment you have given, then it would be better to refrain from pronouncing it. When giving a compliment to one girl, it is important to be careful, because these words can be heard by another girl and it will turn out awkward situation. Often this can worsen the mood of a woman who accidentally overheard, in which case a dual situation may result. Guys don’t give each other compliments; it’s considered stupid and looks funny coming from the mouth of the one who says them, indecent, at least if they don’t look like an innocent joke. It is inappropriate for a man to compliment unfamiliar women, and especially girls.
A woman, having received pleasant words from a man, should not give in to flattery. Usually, it is important to accept any compliment very carefully, since imaginary love and false affection are hidden in the pleasant words expressed.
What then should be a person’s reaction to a compliment? What should you do when receiving compliments?
It is necessary to thank you from the bottom of my heart; a short “thank you” will suffice. If it is noticeable that a person is openly fawning, simply limit yourself to words of polite gratitude. Questions and comments (in response to inappropriate or backhanded compliments) should be kept to yourself. When accepting praise, do not argue with the person. Don't downplay your strengths. If a person admires your appearance, you don’t need to talk about your poor health in response, even if you really don’t feel well.
