    Good.  "heavier" is "hev-ee-uhr", three sounds.  "worst", is said more like "wuhrst" than "worst".

    You have done very well, Ann! I have recorded the exercise and comments to help you.

    "heavier" and "the airplane" "thee airplane"

    You only pronounce "the" as "thee" when there is a vowel (a,e,i,o,u.) starting the next word.

    Thee airport, thee eggs, thee ink, thee object, thee umbrella
