    • /aʊ/: as in h**ow

    • /ɔɪ/: as in b**oy
    • /əʊ/: as in g**o
  2. Identify Centring Diphthongs and provide examples.

    Centring diphthongs are those where the tongue moves towards the central vowel sound /ə/. The text lists /eə/, /ɪə/, and /ʊə/.

    • /eə/: as in h**air
    • /ɪə/: as in n**ear
    • /ʊə/: as in p**oor
