d. Dictionary work: word stress
When you meet a new word, you can check which syllable is strongly stressed in a good dictionary (e.g. Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary). The pronunciation of the word is shown in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), with the symbol1 in front of the main strong stress of the word, e.g. electric /ɪ'lektrɪk/. Your dictionary will also show the secondary stress (usually in longer words) with the symbol,, e.g. electricity /ɪlek'trɪsəti/.
In Ship or Sheep? only the main strong stress in a word is in bold to show you where the stressed syllable ends, e.g. electric, electricity.
Look up some of these words in a dictionary and bold which syllable has the main strong stress.
