For grown-ups: listen & read

FOUR LORDS

Four
lords
were taken to court
for courting
young ladies
and peeping at doors

They wore
velvet suits,
chain-watches,
a monocle
and black stockings

The four
were tall
and good sports,
they blamed the Port
for courting
young ladies
and peeping at doors

After all,
 all we saw
 were ladies undressing
 for unloved lords

The judge
was a dwarf.
He wore
a wig because
he was bald.

He too was a good sport,
but he had a weak spot,
his weakness for Port


They thought
of offering
him a glass of port,
just to get warm.

They had plenty in stock

The judge
tasted the port
and asked for more;
he was soon on the floor
of the court.

-Now, my lord,
 you can judge,
 as you're as sober 
 as a lord
 and we're as drunk
 as a judge.

-After all,
 it isn't your fault,
 my lords,
 I find guilty the Port.
 By George! 

 It's such  good Port!

So he blamed the cordial
instead of the lords

Fill in the brackets with the pronunciation in phonetics

6)        Dare you?

HERE [          ] Is not a match for THERE [         ]
Nor DEAR [          ] and FEAR [         ] for BEAR [         ] and PEAR [             ] .
And there is DOSE [           ] and ROSE [                       ] and LOSE [             ]

And, there´s GOOSE [            ] and CHOOSE [            ]

Write the spelling of the words in brackets

5)        Dare you?

DOOR [          ] rimes with FOUR [         ], WAR [          ] and LAWN [            ], but
BLOOD [          ]  rimes with BUD [            ], COME [           ] and YOUNG [         ]
COOK [          ]   rimes with BLUE [          ], SHOE [          ] and FRUIT [          ] but in
BUTCHER  [             ], CUSHION [            ], PUSH [         ] and PULL [           ]

How strange! the U does sound [u]

Fill in the brackets with the pronunciation in phonetics

4)        Dare you?

CORK  [     ] is pronounced like PORT  [      ]
but  not  WORK  [        ], it is pronounced like  BIRD   [      ]
HEARD [        ] ,HURT  [      ]  and HERB [       ].
What about WORD   [        ] ? - it is written like LORD [      ].
But pronounced  like WORLD [       ]  and WORM [      ].
What about WARD [      ]? –It rimes with FOUR [         ].

A dreadful spelling, I agree.

The problem you can see.
