Слог считается открытым, если он заканчивается на гласную (например, ta-ble, mu-sic, mo-tor). Гласная в этом случае дает долгий звук — то есть, читается как в алфавите. К этому типу относятся слова и с немой «e» на конце. Например:
take [teɪk], Pete [pi: t], nose [nəʊz], me [mi:]
Закрытый слог заканчивается на одну или более согласных, и гласная буква в этом случае читается кратко. Примеры:
сat [kæt], end [end], hot [hɒt], bus [bʌs] - это если слова односложные (=состоят из одного слога)
bitter ['bɪtə] (если слово разделить на слоги, то получим bit-ter, то есть буква i в закрытом слоге)
Икому не объять необъятного. Кто привык браниться, тому не с кем не ужиться. Кто поздно приходит, тот ничего не находит.
Hello, Marina!
I am in Cancun now! Yes, my dream came true. I can’t believe it! The weather is excellent! The sea is fantastic! The nature is so beautiful, you must see it! Today I am going to visit the underwater park. This park is the biggest underwater sculpture garden in the world. And I'm so excited to go there. Then I will walk in the city. I will visit some cafes and shops. I will buy you a present! Unfortunately, my holiday is very short. Bye.
See you soon.
Volodya
