Also, here is the link to the dictionary I told you about. It would be excellent if you use it to find the meaning and pronunciation of words you do not know from your reading:

Why don't you try finding the meaning of 10 words from your book?

Here is an excercise for you to practice. Try to classify the following words in five different groups: words with short "a", short "e", short "i", short "o" and short "u" vowel sounds. For example, "jam" is a short "a" vowel word. Can you organize the rest?


Finally, to practice your speaking a listening, here is a link to a beautiful song, I hope you enjoy it:
