STEP BY STEP

Pronunciation  Project

Prefixes are a group of letters that are added to the
beginning of root words to create a new word. We
often use the prefixes dis-, in-, im-, ir-, il-, un- to
make opposites of words. E.g. happy- unhappy. ‘im-’
is usually used before the words starting with ‘b, m, p’
sounds. ‘ir-’ is usually used before the words starting
with ‘r’ sound.
a Listen to the pronunciation of the words below. Choose your favourite film and talk about it. While
Pay attention to the words with prefixes. Track 54 talking, record yourself with the help of a camera or
mobile phone. Then, present it to your classmates.
You can use the following questions to improve
Prefix Word Prefix + Word
your video.
un- conscious unconscious • What is the title of the film?
dis- organised disorganised • What is its genre?
ir- relevant irrelevant • Who stars in it?

il- literate illiterate • What is the story about?
im- possible impossible • How does it end?
in- visible invisible • Why do you like it?
• Would you recommend it? Why?
b Listen to the audio and practise the words
you hear. Do you think the prefix changes the

pronunciation of the word itself or not? Track 55
c Work in pairs. Write the opposites of the following GAME TIME
words. Then, practise the pronunciation of the
words with your partner. Write the name of a film or a book
at on slips of paper. Then, fold up
the papers so that the words are
tidy not visible. Put the papers into the

basket. Divide into two groups. On
believable
each turn, a single player chooses
legal a paper from the basket and acts
out the word in front of his/ her
honest teammates. The player must use
non-verbal motions to try to get
polite his/ her team to successfully guess
the clue. Use a stopwatch giving
regular
maximum of two or three minutes
patient for each turn. The first team to guess
the word within the given time gets
correct one point. The one with the more
points at the end of the game wins.

d Listen to the audio again and check your answers.
