Could any of you explain me about Question 4 in Task 2? Why do the answer is " might or could " ?
Hi May Thida Su,
It's because the idea is that There's a chance we'll get a pay rise. The sentence includes will (we'll get a pay rise), but the phrase There's a chance modifies it. It means that it's possible, but is not certain, and might and could have that meaning.
Does that make sense?

So, because of the phrase ( There's a chance ) , the answer is might and could. Right? Oh, Thank you very much for explaining me. Thank you very much Jonathan R!
Hi May Thida Su,
No problem at all :) Yes, that's exactly it.

Don't this part has transcript? Please add transcript so I can understand really well.
Hello May Thida Su,
I'm afraid the Language Focus videos don't have transcripts. You can ask us about short, specific segments if you'd like to. Please be sure to include the time codes (e.g. 1:45-1:51) if so.
All the best,

Hello!
I don't well understand the task 1. How can I learn the syllabus? Thanks, Sir!
Hello Aung Ko Latt,
In this task, the letter 'o' represents an unstressed syllable and 'O' represents a stressed syllable. So, for example, in the word 'tiny', the first syllable ('ti') is emphasised more than the second one ('ny'), so it goes in the 'Oo' group.
Does that make more sense now?
Remember that after you try a couple of words, you can press 'Finish' and then 'Show Answers' to see the answers if you find it very difficult.
All the best,
