A phone message contains familiar long words. Mark the strong part before you read it to a partner.

Task 1

Read the words. Underline the bold chunk on paper or in your notebook. Read each word once slowly, then once as a whole word.

• COM-pa-ny
• de-LIV-er-y
• res-er-VA-tion
• in-for-MA-tion
• ME-chan-ic
• a-BOUT

Task 2

Work in pairs. Student A reads three words. Student B points to the chunk that helped and says what the word can mean in Russian or English. Then switch roles.

Choose one word and make a short useful sentence with it.
