Pronouncing English
Dearest creature in creation,Study English pronunciation.I will teach you in my verseSounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.I will keep you, Suzy, busy,Make your head with heat grow dizzy.Tear in eye, your dress will tear.So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,Dies and diet, lord and word,Sword and sward, retain and Britain.(Mind the latter, how it's written.)Now I surely will not plague youWith such words as plaque and ague.But be careful how you speak:Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;Cloven, oven, how and low,Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,Exiles, similes, and reviles;Scholar, vicar, and cigar,Solar, mica, war and far;One, anemone, Balmoral,Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;Gertrude, German, wind and mind,Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.Blood and flood are not like food,Nor is mould like should and would.Viscous, viscount, load and broad,Toward, to forward, to reward.And your pronunciation's OKWhen you correctly say croquet,Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamourAnd enamour rhyme with hammer.River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,Doll and roll and some and home.Stranger does not rhyme with anger,Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,And then singer, ginger, linger,Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,Nor does fury sound like bury.Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.Though the differences seem little,We say actual but victual.Refer does not rhyme with deafer.Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.Mint, pint, senate and sedate;Dull, bull, and George ate late.Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.We say hallowed, but allowed,People, leopard, towed, but vowed.Mark the differences, moreover,Between mover, cover, clover;Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,Chalice, but police and lice;Camel, constable, unstable,Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,Senator, spectator, mayor.Tour, but our and succour, four.Gas, alas, and Arkansas.Sea, idea, Korea, area,Psalm, Maria, but malaria.Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,Dandelion and battalion.Sally with ally, yea, ye,Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.Say aver, but ever, fever,Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.Heron, granary, canary.Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.Large, but target, gin, give, verging,Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.Ear, but earn and wear and tearDo not rhyme with here but ere.Seven is right, but so is even,Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?Won't it make you lose your wits,Writing groats and saying grits?It's a dark abyss or tunnel:Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,Islington and Isle of Wight,Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough --Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?Hiccough has the sound of cup.My advice is to give up!!!

Table of Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal numbers from 1 through 1,000,0001one 11eleven 21 twenty-one 31 thirty-one2 two 12 twelve 22 twenty-two 40 forty3 three 13 thirteen 23 twenty-three 50 fifty4 four 14 fourteen 24 twenty-four 60sixty5 five 15 fifteen 25 twenty-five 70seventy6six 16sixteen 26 twenty-six 80eighty7seven 17seventeen 27 twenty-seven 90ninety8eight 18eighteen 28 twenty-eight 100a/one hundred 9nine 19nineteen 29 twenty-nine 1,000a/one thousand
10 ten 20 twenty 30 thirty 1,000,000a/one million
Separation between hundreds and tens
Hundreds and tens are usually separated by 'and' (in American English 'and' is not necessary).
110 - one hundred and ten1,250 - one thousand, two hundred and fifty2,001 - two thousand and one
Hundreds
Use 100 always with 'a' or 'one'.
100 - a hundred / one hundred
'a' can only stand at the beginning of a number.100 - a hundred / one hundred2,100 - two thousand, one hundred
Thousands and Millions
Use 1,000 and 1,000,000 always with 'a' or 'one'.
1,000 - a thousand / one thousand201,000 - two hundred and one thousand
Use commas as a separator.
57,458,302
The Number 1,000,000,000
In English this number is a billion. This is very tricky for nations where 'a billion' has 12 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000 in English, however, is a trillion.
But don't worry, these numbers are even a bit problematic for native speakers: for a long time the British 'billion' had 12 zeros (a number with 9 zeros was called 'a thousand million'). Now, however, also in British English 'a billion' has 9 zeros. But from time to time this number still causes confusion (just like this paragraph, I'm afraid). ;o)
Singular or Plural?
Numbers are usually written in singular.
two hundred Eurosseveral thousand light years
The plural is only used with dozen, hundred, thousand, million, billion, if they are not modified by another number or expression (e.g. a few / several).
hundreds of Eurosthousands of light years

Homes: reading
Luke Matthews has an amazing home, but he doesn’t live in ahouse – he lives in a lighthouse. The lighthouse is, of course, near the sea and today you can hear the waves crashing onto therocks below.
“In fact you can hear the sea every day,” says Luke. “It’s notreally a quiet place, it’s often windy and there are many noisybirds calling. There are no cars or people near but there’s always a lot of sound.” Inside the lighthouse it’s much quieter. The walls and windows are very thick to protect the building from storms. Luke says he isn’t afraid of the storms. He knows that he’s safe in the lighthouse which is over a hundred years old.
The building is no longer a working lighthouse although there’s still a light at the top for the ships. “Many lighthouses are empty now, and some don’t have a light,” saysLuke. “It’s quite easy to buy one to live in.” Luke is a writer and for him it’s an ideal home to work and live in.
So why is a lighthouse a good place for Luke?“Well, the first reason is that it’s easier for me to work when there are no people around. I can turn off the telephone and write in peace. Writing is easier for me when I am alone. Secondly, the views from the lighthouse are just wonderful. Themorning sunrises and evening sunsets are incredible, and the countryside all aroundis beautiful. I can see 360 degrees all the time and I love that. The views help me with my writing. When there’s a big storm it’s wonderful. Finally, I love sea life.From the lighthouse you can see dolphins and whales and many different kinds of sea birds. My favourite are the seals which play in the water. I fish a lot too, and ofteneat lobster and crab – they’re delicious!”
All the rooms in the lighthouse are on top of each other. On the ground floor there’s the kitchen which also has a table and chairs for dining, above that there’s the living room. Above the living room is a bedroom and small bathroom, and right at the top is the room where Luke does his writing. A spiral staircase is right in the middle, and allthe rooms are round, of course!
So, does Luke have any problems with his unusual home?“Not really. It’s difficult to grow vegetables in the garden because it’s too windy, and there are too many rabbits! The nearest village isn’t too far away, it takes meabout half an hour to walk there. There are a couple of shops and also a pub if I wantto meet some other people but I prefer being by myself. For me it’s
the perfect place!”

New driving laws for teens – reading Grammar quiz Much / many / a lot of
New Driving Laws for Teens
(1/25/2006)
There are new laws for teenage drivers. Some parents do not know about these new laws. It is very important that everyone learns about and understands these new laws.
A teenage girl died in a car crash. She was a passenger in a car. The driver of the car was 16 years old. There were two other passengers in the car who were also hurt.
The accident reminded some people of how important the new laws are for teenage drivers. The laws were written to hopefully save lives. Maybe the teenage girl would still be alive if the law was followed.
The new law states that teen drivers cannot have passengers in their car who are under the age of 20 unless there is another licensed driver over the age of 25 in the car too. The law also states that teenagers cannot drive between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. These laws need to be followed for the first year that a teen driver has his license.
Some students said that they know about the laws but do not obey them. They want to drive with their friends. Some teenagers are breaking the law by driving with friends in their cars.
There are some exceptions to the new driving laws. Teens can drive their brothers and sisters to school. They can also drive during off-limits hours because of work or medical reasons. They need to keep a note in their car stating why they need to drive.
Many more teenagers die in car crashes than adults. New laws were made to help keep young drivers safer. If the laws are going to work they will need to be followed. http://www.cdlponline.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=activity1&topicID=3&storyID=221

Abandoned ship Where are the crew and passengers?14 December 1872
Yesterday morning people saw a small sailing ship enter the Bay of Gibraltar. This was not an unusual site, but the sailors on board were from another ship. The captain of this ship, his wife and child, and the original crew were all missing.
The 31-metre Mary Celeste left New York on 7 November and was sailing across theAtlantic to Italy. On board were Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife Sarah and their two-year-old daughter, Sophie. There were also seven crew members, making a total often people. The cargo included 1,701 barrelsof industrial alcohol.
A week later another ship, the Dei Gratia, left New York for Italy. Captain Morehouse spotted the Mary Celeste off the coast of Portugal. He saw that the ship was out of control. He was surprised, he was a friend of Captain Briggs and knew he was a good seaman. He watched the ship for two hours and tried to make contact but there was no reply. The captain decided to send some of his sailors in a small boat to the MaryCeleste to have a look.
They found that the ship was in good condition but there was nobody on the ship. Special equipment and all the ship’s papers were missing, except the captain’s logbook. One of the sailors said, “There was a lot of water inside the ship and the captain’s bed was all wet. Also the galley was in a bad state - the cooking pots were everywhereand the cooking stove was knocked over. It looked like they left in a hurry – they didn’t take their boots. Perhaps they thought the ship was going to sink.”
So how did they leave? The sailor added, “There were no dinghies on board. Alsothere were ropes hanging over the side, and one was broken. Perhaps they got into a dinghy and the rope broke in bad weather.” Captain Morehouse said that the weatherwas very bad with strong winds and rain before they found the boat. He put half ofhis sailors on the empty boat and brought it to Gibraltar.
However, why the crew and passengers left the ship and what happened to themnext is a mystery.

Abandoned ship
‘Ghost boat’ found with no crew.
20 April 2007
Yesterday afternoon coastguards in Australia began searching for three men. The air and sea rescue operation included12 planes and four boats. The search began after a boat was found with no crew.The 12-metre Kaz 11 left Arlie Beach on15 April and was sailing around the coast of Australia. On board were the skipper Derek Batten, 56, and brothers Jim and Peter Tunstead aged 69 and 63. All three are experienced seamen. The men bought the boat last week, they wanted to sail for six to eight weeks around the north to western Australia.However, only three days later, a plane spotted the boat off the coast of Queensland. The pilot couldn’t see any people so he tried to make contact but there was no reply. Yesterday morning a rescue helicopter senta crewman down to the Kaz 11 to have a look.He found that the boat was in good condition. One of the sails was torn but everything else was normal. The table was set and there was food ready to eat. There were two laptop computers on, mobile phones and sunglasses were on the table - but
there was nobody on the boat. There were also life jackets and emergencyequipment on the boat. The dinghy was also there. The only thing missing was the crew. The pilot of the rescue helicopter said,“It’s almost like they just walked off the boat.”He also said that the lights were on and
the engine was on too.So what happened? A spokesperson
said, “It was very windy when the men left on Sunday but this was normal and not a problem. It was good sailing weather. Everything on the boat was in a good state,nothing was knocked over. However, therewere three fenders on the side of the boat. These are put out when another boat comes near. To me it looks like they left in a hurry. Perhaps they went on another boat.” However, why the crew left their boat and what happened to them next is a mystery.The search continues.
