REVIEW VOCABULARY

Part 1: Read aloud

Read those sentences aloud.

Paragraph 1

The equipment used in the initial phase of the project was outdated but sufficient to pursue early experiments. A talented team worked on creating speech recognition technology, which could emerge as a revolutionary tool. Their progress depended tremendously on a limited budget, pushing them to innovate within constraints.

Paragraph 2

In the military, nanotechnology at the nanometre scale is having a significant impact on modern operations. New designs are tested in each rehearsal phase, where risks and hazards are identified. As dimensions shrink, engineers ignore conventional methods to achieve breakthroughs. The fundamental research is reshaping defense strategies worldwide.

Paragraph 3

Artists in the genre of abstract painting often emerge during times of experimentation. Their initial work explores dimensions of reality, sometimes making objects indistinguishable from illusions. Creativity can be stifled by budget limitations, but talented creators learn to interact with their surroundings in unique ways, transforming restrictions into art.

Paragraph 4

Speech recognition systems have improved tremendously, offering more accessible communication options. The equipment needed to train these models is now more affordable. During each rehearsal, programmers refine fundamental algorithms for better accuracy. Teams must ignore failures and continue refining their designs to pursue higher levels of precision in technology.
