E. Listen to the following words, write them down, count the number of letters and phonemes they consist of:

four (4,2), play (4,3), some (4,3), lived (5,4), saw (3,2), said (4,3), other (5,3), water (5,4), looked (6,4), something (9,6), throw (5,3), little (6,4), what (4,3) were (4,2), doing (5,4), hopped (6,4), floating (8,6), leaf (4,3), shouted (7,5), would (5,3), moral (5,5), people (6,4), which (5,3), done (4,3), stop (4,4), jump (4,4), bad (3,3), home (4,3).

F. Listen to the sentences, write them down, lay stresses and tone marks, transcribe the sentences, define qualitative and quantitative changes of vowels in them. Do it in writing.

a) Some frogs lived in the pond.

b) One bad boy saw the frogs and said to the other boys, “Come on! Let’s make them jump out of the water. It will be fun!”

c) So he hopped onto a floating leaf in front of the boys.
