Speech production is made possible by the specialized movements of our vocal organs that generate
speech sounds waves.
Like all sounds production speech productions requires a source of energy. The source of energy for speech production is the steady stream of air that comes from the lungs as we exhale. When we breathe normally, the air stream is inaudible. To become audible, the air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal cords cause the air stream to vibrate.
As we talk, the vocal cords open and close rapidly, chopping up the steady air stream into a series of puffs. These puffs are heard as a buzz. But this buzz is still not speech.
To produce speech sounds, the vocal tract must change shape. During speech we continually alter the shape of the vocal tract by moving the tongue and lips, etc. These movements change the acoustic properties of the vocal tract, which is turn produce the different sounds of speech.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter the season change without fail. The Ancient Greek told a story of how the seasons came to be.
When the world was new, it was always summer. The goddess Demeter took care of the earth. She watered the plants and crops, and picked up flowers with her beautiful daughter Persephone. Below the earth, Pluto was king of the underworld, where it was always dark and gloomy.
Sometimes he climbed to the banks of the River Styx at the earth. One day he saw Persephone. He had never seen anyone so beautiful and he fell in love with instantly, Pluto wanted Persephone to be his wife.
Pluto harnessed his chariot. He snatched Persephone and thundered back to the underworld. “Don’t be afraid” he said. I love you. I will make you my queen.
On earth, Demeter searched for Persephone and forgot all her work. When she had almost given up hope, she sat by the River Styx. The water whispered what had happened. Demeter ran to the Zeus, the king of the Gods for help. “It Persephone eats anything in the underworld, she must stay, said Zeus. Let me send Hermes. My messenger to find out. In the underworld, Persephone is nothing at all. One day Pluto held out pornegranate. It smelled delicious, and when twelve seeds dropped into Persephone’s hand, she lifted them to her lips. Just at the moment, Hernes arrived in the underworld. “Stop!” he shouted. But it was too late. Persephone had eaten half the seeds. “Now , you must stay here forever,” said Hernes.
Finally, Zeus decided what would happen. “Because Persephone ate six seeds, she will live in the underworld for six month of the year. For the eater six months, she will return to her mother.” That is why is spring and summer when Demeter is happy, the sun shines. In autumn, when Persephone goes back to the underworld, flowers die and trees shed their leaves as Demeter cries.
