  3. When you use a dictionary, it’s very important to know how to read the transcription. Here are some phonetic symbols which usually cause problems to students. Vowel sounds: • /sʌn/ sun • /ka: / car • /bed/ bed • /kæt/ cat • /sıt/ sit • /tri:/ tree • /hɒt/ hot • /hɔ:s/ horse • /fʊl/ full • /mu:n/ moon • /wɔ:tə/ water • /gɜ:l/ girl • /leıt/ late • /taım/ time • /bɒı/ boy • /həʊm/ home • /aʊt/ out • /hɪə/ here • /ðeə/ there Consonant sounds: • /ʧeə/ chair • /eɪʤ/ age • /θıηk/ think • /ðıs/this • /∫op/ shop • / pleʒə/ pleasure

  4. It’s also very important to know that one word can have more than one meaning. • table n. /teıbl/ • a kitchen table • the periodic table • the multiplication table • key n. /ki:/= I’ve lost my keys, and now I can’t get in. keyadj. /ki:/ = very important He’s our key witness. • lead v. /li:d/ = guide, show the way lead n./ led/ = Pb

  5. How to organize new words in your notebook It’s a good idea to write what part of speech it is and to write a sentence which shows how it is used. For example: bond n /bond/ = a force that joins something together Chemical bonds can be covalent or ionic. “My name is Bond, Chemical Bond.” The trade agreement strengthened the bonds between the two countries.

  6. Parts of speech n. noun I have a sister. adj. adjective They live in an old house. pron. pronoun They live in an old house. v. verb They live in an old house. adv. adverb He drives fast. prep. preposition They live in an old house. art. article They live in an old house.

  7. Look at the transcription of some commonly misspelled words and try to work out what the words are. • /’æsɪd/ • /beɪs/ • /baɪka:bənɪt/ • /baɪ’ɒləʤi/ • /kælsɪəm/ • /kəʊveɪlənt/ • /daɪ’oksaid/ • /kemɪst/ • /’klɔ:ri:n/ • /ɪks’perimənt/ • /ʤel/ • /hi:lɪəm/ • /haɪdrəʤən/ • /aiən/ • /’mɒlikju:l/ • /’ni:ɒn/ • /’ɒksaid/ • /zɪŋk/

  8. This is how we spell the words • acid • base • bicarbonate • biology • calcium • covalent • dioxide • chemist • chlorine • experiment • gel • helium • hydrogen • ion • molecule • neon • oxide • zinc

  9. Work out the parts of speech of the underlined wordws. Try to guess the meanings of the words from the context. Emma left home, rounded the corner on her bike and saw a round metal object on the road. It went round and round in circles making a strange noise. Suddenly, a man came and fired a round of ammunition at the object.
