11. Ben E. King “Stand by Me”
Допомагає запам’ятати вимову букв «u» і «a» в різних варіантах складів і словосполучень.
When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we see,
No, I won’t be afraid.
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
So, darling, darling, stand by me.
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
And the mountains
Should crumble to the sea,
I won’t cry, I won’t cry.
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
And darling, darling, stand by me.
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
Whenever you’re in trouble,
Won’t you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

Дає розуміння того, чим відрізняється коротка та довга вимова букв «o» і «a» в закритих і відкритих складах. Звертає увагу на особливості читання закінчення «ed».
I looked out this morning,
And the sun was gone.
Turned on some music to start my day
Then lost myself in a familiar song.
I closed my eyes and I slipped away.
[Chorus:]
It’s more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreaming
Till I see Marianne walk away.
I see my Marianne walking away.
So many people have come and gone.
Their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky.
[Chorus]
When I’m tired and thinking cold,
I hide in my music, forget the day,
And dream of a girl I used to know.
I closed my eyes and she slipped away.
She slipped away.
[Chorus]
3.Cher - “Strong Enough”
Показує різницю між буквою «y» в закритому складі та в кінці довгих і коротких слів. Є приклади-виключення з «gh».
I don’t need your sympathy.
There’s nothing you can say or do for me.
And I don’t want a miracle.
You’ll never change for no one.
I hear your reasons why.
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?
[Chorus:]
‘Cos I’m strong enough to live without you.
Strong enough
And I quit crying long enough.
Now I’m strong enough
To know you gotta go.
There’s no more to say
So save your breath,
And then walk away.
No matter what I hear you say.
I’m strong enough
To know you gotta go.
So you feel misunderstood.
Baby, have I got news for you?
On being used, I could write a book.
You don’t wanna hear about it.
I’ve been losing sleep.
You’ve been going cheap.
She ain’t worth half of me, it’s true.
I’m telling you.
[Chorus]
Come hell or waters high,
You’ll never see me cry.
This is our last goodbye, it’s true.
I’m telling you.
[Chorus]
There’s no more to say,
So save your breath,
And you walk away.
No matter what I hear you say.
I’m strong enough
To know you gotta go.
4.Christina Agilera - “Beautiful”
Гарно чути різницю між «oo» і «o» в різних варіаціях. Багато «ng» і словосполучень з «w».
Don’t look at me.
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it’s hard to breathe.
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I’m so ashamed.
I am beautiful, no matter what they say.
Words can’t bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words can’t bring me down.
So don’t you bring me down today.
To all your friends, you’re delirious.
So consumed in all your doom,
Trying hard to fill the emptiness.
The piece is gone
And the puzzle undone.
That’s the way it is.
You are beautiful, no matter what they say.
Words won’t bring you down.
You are beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words won’t bring you down.
Don’t you bring me down today.
No matter what we do,
No matter what they say,
We’re the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes.
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine.
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side.
All the other times.
We are beautiful, no matter what they say.
Yes, words won’t bring us down.
We are beautiful, no matter what they say.
Yes, words can’t bring us down.
Don’t you bring me down today.
Don’t you bring me down today.
5. Cutting Crew - “I`ve been in Love Before”
Різні буквосполучення з «o». Наприклад, читання не за правилами в «love» (перед «v» у відкритому складі) або «dangerous» з нейтральним звуком.
Catch my breath, close my eyes.
Don’t believe a word.
Things she said, overheard.
Something wrong inside.
Once you won’t admit it,
Then you know you’re in it.
I’ve been in love before.
I’ve been in love before.
The hardest part is when you’re in it.
I’ve been in love before.
I’ve been in love before.
Just one touch, just one look.
A dangerous dance.
One small word can make me feel
Like running away.
You can’t say you’re in it,
No, until you reach the limit.
I’ve been in love before.
I’ve been in love before.
The hardest part is when you’re in it.
I’ve been in love before.
I’ve been in love before.
