Англоязычный уголок

[LOVe]

Ink,

что понять? Что Вы либо издеваетесь, либо не понимаете, что фраза корректна? Склоняюсь ко второму.

Ink,

куда же Вы пропали, коллега? Почивать удалились, видимо, согласно дальневосточному времени? А как же эмфаза, усилительное do и идиоматическое выражение "Things do happen"? Ладно, пусть они Вам приснятся в сладких снах

Вам тогда нужно испанский уголок заводить

И сидеть там одному, да?

constructors, o ma fa!

However I appreciate that in the subject of

в плане взаиморазвития англ. письменной речи.

my "txt talk" could be confusing for some people.
Therefore, I'll try to form the sentences properly, when I have time,
Personally, I'd prefer people to say what they want to say without the feeling of being assessed.
I encourage all to practice their second language skills at any opportunity.

Хотите сказать, что в этом разделе приветствуются только сленг, жаргон, обсценная и диалектная лексика?

А если серьезно, то вполне себе используется и сейчас. Куда ж без эмфазы-то в речи? Заглянула только что в Британский национальный корпус, там этого добра хватает. Вот, к примеру:

ARP 308 These things do happen.

B0L 1321 ‘Never mind, boys,’ he said, ‘these things do happen.’

KE2 9461 Don't worry though honestly, I know these things do happen.

EFT 1084 The Egyptian Tale of Two Brothers narrates similar incidents to those in this chapter — underlining the unfortunate fact that such things do happen.

B10 932 If they do not expect to fail or be criticized, when such things do happen, the effect can be powerful.

Буковки в начале строк обозначают источники, откуда взято. В корпусе они даны гиперссылками. Впрочем, для данной темы это офтопик

Just for pleasure

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem

I can't do it without my Russian accent, but it is expected as I didn't start to learn English until I was 21.

А почему бы нам не завести уголок, где можно было бы всем желающим потрепаться
на инглише по любым вопросам, типа "что вижу о том пою", но в инглиш варианте? Не
в плане выпендривания, кто круче, а в плане взаиморазвития англ. письменной речи.

Great idea. Great idea. Especially if we have some people here who live abroad.

[Кортни Лав]

ага, уже забавно.
