Hints on english pronunciation
I take it you already know
Of tough and bought and cough and dough
Others may stumble but not you
On thorough, plough, enough and through
Well done! And now you wish perhaps
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard: a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sound like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed not bead
For goodness sake don't call it deed.
Watch out of meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear, for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose
-Just look at them up - and goose and choose
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go. then thwart and cart.
Come, come! I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I'd mastered it when I was five.
And yet to write, the more I tried,
1 hadn't learnt at fifty-five.
Listen to the dialogue and practice reading. (unit 16 d1)
Are you sure you said sheep?
Sheila: Tricia, come and I'll show you my sheep.
Patricia: Your sheep? Sheila, what sheep?
Sheila: My sheep.
Patricia: Are you sure you said sheep.
Sheila: Shh, don't shout. Of course I'm sure I said sheep. She's here in the shed.
Isn't she sweet? She was washed up on the shore at Shale Marsh.
Patricia: What a shame! Is it unconscious?
Sheila: She's a she. I shall call her Sheba. I should think she's suffering from shock.
Patricia: Do you think she was pushed off that Persian ship? Oh Sheila, she's shivering.
Sheila: My precious! She shall have a soft cushion and my cashmere shawl!
Patricia: She's rather special, isn't she? Sheila, I wish—oh, I do wish we could share her!

Tall Trees
Chorus
Tall trees, tall trees, big, tall trees
Tall trees, tall trees,
The cost of California
Is a beautifull sight,
With the tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees
Big tall trees, tall trees
