Lesson 10 - Long O
Learn some letter combinations that make the Long O sound.

Here are some examples of common words that end in oe, but that don't make the long O sound. (Repeat words)
You will learn other ways of reading oo and ow in lessons 11 and 12.
Great job! Two more lessons to go! We will continue with our long vowel sounds in the next lesson with the long U.
BBC News Review: Hillary Clinton's illness
source: BBC Learning English 2016年9月13日
Hillary Clinton's illness is making headlines around the world. Join Sian and Catherine in News Review to find out about this story and the language you need to understand it.
You can find out more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/...
The story:
The democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton has said in an interview that she didn't disclose her pneumonia diagnosis originally as she didn't think it would be a big deal.
She's been facing criticism that she hadn't revealed her condition when diagnosed on Friday, but only after she almost collapsed in public two days later.
Jon Sopel - BBC News:
When the news broke that Hillary Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia it made headlines around the world.
But, in her interview last night, the democratic presidential candidate said she didn't think her illness was going to be that big a deal and she batted away suggestions that she'd been secretive. "People know more about me than almost anyone else in public life," she told CNN.
That may be true, but among many Americans there's a feeling that the Clintons are anything but transparent.
Key words and phrases:
hold/keep/play your cards close to your chest: not share key information; be secretive
come clean: tell the truth about something you were keeping secret
big deal: something important
not that big a deal: important, but not very important
bout: short period when you are ill or unhappy; a short period of activity
bat away: (here) reject
How To Pronounce '-ED' Verb Endings
source: Oxford Online English 2015年2月9日
See the full lesson: http://www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/vi...
In this lesson, you can learn more about the pronunciation of past verbs and '-ed' endings. Past simple verbs often end in '-ed', but this ending is not pronounced in the same way every time. For example, in the verbs:
- planned
- asked
- decided
The '-ed' ending is pronounced differently in each case.
- planned — the -ed ending is pronounced with a /d/ sound, like the 'd' in 'dog'
- asked — the -ed ending is pronounced with a /t/ sound, like the 't' in 'time'
- decided — the -ed ending is pronounced with an /ɪd/ sound, like the 'id' in 'did'
The pronunciation of the '-ed' ending depends on the sound before it. If the sound before the '-ed' ending is a VOICED consonant sound, like /b/, /v/ or /m/, the '-ed' ending is pronounced with a /d/ sound. For example, in 'planned', the sound before the '-ed' ending is /n/, which is a voiced consonant sound. That's why the '-ed' ending in 'planned' is pronounced with a /d/ sound.
If the sound before the '-ed' ending is an UNVOICED consonant sound, like /p/, /k/ or /s/, then the '-ed' ending is pronounced with a /t/ sound. For example, in 'asked', the sound before the '-ed' ending is /k/, which is an unvoiced consonant sound. That's why the '-ed' ending in 'asked' is pronounced with a /t/ sound.
If you're not sure about the difference between voiced and unvoiced sounds, you can learn more in the video. It's not so easy to explain in writing! For reference, here's a list of voiced and unvoiced consonant sounds:
Voiced consonants: /b/ /d*/ /g/ /ð/ /v/ /l/ /r/ /z/ /dʒ/ /ʒ/ /m/ /n/ /ŋ/
Unvoiced consonants: /p/ /t*/ /k/ /s/ /ʃ/ /tʃ/ /θ/ /f/
Finally, if the sound before the '-ed' ending is /d/ or /t/, the '-ed' ending is pronounced /ɪd/. This is the easiest rule to remember.
