To complete this task, you need to read the given words silently and identify one word that is pronounced with the diphthong [ai]. A diphthong is a combination of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable. An example of a word with the diphthong [ai] is «time.»
Next, you need to identify words that are pronounced with a short [i] sound and words that are pronounced with a long [i:] sound. The short [i] sound is pronounced as in the word «sit,» while the long [i:] sound is pronounced as in the word «beet.»
Examples of words pronounced with a short [i] sound include «sit,» «bit,» «hit,» «lid,» «tip,» «rip,» «bin,» «win,» «pin,» and «thin.»
Examples of words pronounced with a long [i:] sound include «beet,» «meet,» «feet,» «heat,» «seat,» «meat,» «sheep,» «keep,» «deep,» and «sleep.»
When reading these words, it is important to pay special attention to the vowels and their pronunciation. This will help you to accurately identify words with the diphthong [ai] and distinguish between words pronounced with a short [i] sound and those pronounced with a long [i:] sound.
