    Тема: Звукове значення літери «с»

                                             
          The rule is: The letter c represents /s/ before the letters e, i or y; otherwise it represents /c/.

And here are some examples to show you how broadly useful this rule actually is.

cent: /s/ because it is followed by e

city: /s/ because it is followed by i

cyst: /s/ because it is followed by y

cat: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

cot: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

cut: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

class: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

cross: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

back: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y (so the ck acts like kk)

scent: /s/ because it is followed by e (so the sc acts like ss)

since: digraph ce is /s/ because the c is followed by e

accuse: both /c/ because neither is followed by e, i or y (akkuse)

accent: first is /c/ but second is /s/ (ak-sent)

static: /c/ because it is not followed by e, i or y

Write the words below onto the correct list:

A. Reading

Jack is a bachelor. He works in downtown Chicago as a shoe salesman. Every morning on his way to work, Jack stops at a donut shop and buys a chocolate donut and a cup of coffee. Jack likes this morning routine because it is quick and easy. He doesn’t have to cook breakfast or wash the dishes.

Last time Jack went to the doctor for a check-up his doctor told him that he had high cholesterol. The doctor told Jack to stop eating foods that are high in fat. Donuts are fried in a lot of fat.
