SPELL IT RIGHT - AN INTRODUCTION
This is your WORD BANK. Invest your time here; play with these words!
But all, USEFUL!

On the whole, you have a thousand carefully chosen words. These words are handpicked by many experts from
native and international books, magazines, etc. recommended for your age.
In Round 1, we expect you to master not just the spelling of the words, but also their correct pronunciation. When
you speak, pronunciation mistakes are more obvious than grammar mistakes. So, let us get it ALL right, all right?
SEW
(The same pronunciation of doe, a female deer.) (In fact sew, sow and so have the same pronunciation.)
How do we test you in this Round?

You will write the correct spelling of the words, like Dictation.
The words will be played or uttered out loud and their phonetic expressions will also be provided.
(10 questions)
In the next Round, let us delve deeper and get to the roots of the words! See you there!

of phonetic transcriptions, is essential. Phonetic transcription is the visual representation of
speech sounds, which consists of symbols.

e.g. for the word alarm, the stress occurs as a’larm.
[:] Used to indicate the length of the sound that is pronounced.
length of the sound.

[.] Used to indicate the pause between the sounds in a word while pronouncing.
e.g. for the word marble, the phonetic symbol is /ma:.bl/, where the symbol
[.] is used to indicate the pause between the two syllables.
