POH and suggestions offered those to whom English was a second language 1

WORD USAGE AND PRONUNCIATION (2)

Some things to watch:

*  Your pronunciation and use of ‘sh’ – you tend to go to ‘s’ with words.  

*  The need to be aware that some words (i.e. ‘sugar’ are said as ‘sugar’ although they are spelled without that sound (sh) being emphasised.

*  Similarly with ‘cl’ i.e. ‘in the next class’, not ‘in the next cass’.

*  Similarly with ‘th’ i.e.’ thirty centimeters’ not ‘tirty centimetres’.

*  Sometimes you miss plurals, i.e. ‘use your coloured pencils’, not ‘use your coloured pencil’.

*  “How many we need?” should be “How many do we need?”
