Hello, I'm John Russell. Let's continue our exploration of scientific terms. Developing
our ability to pronounce scientific words can help us discuss the earth sciences, social
sciences, and more. Today, we pay special attention to the word accuracy. Accuracy is
a noun. It is a measure of how close something is to its true value. So, let's try to be
accurate with our pronunciation of accuracy. To start, accuracy has stress on the very
beginning of the word. We can show that by clapping on the stressed part of the word.
Watch, listen, and repeat. Accuracy. Accuracy. We have the stress at the beginning of the
word. What else do we need to know? We can divide the word into small parts and focus
on saying the vowels and consonants very clearly. Listen and repeat after me. Let's
put it all together. Accuracy. Accuracy. We can end by listening to a clip from VOA Learning
English's Brian Lynn. He uses the term in a science and technology story. Google says
it created a mathematical algorithm that greatly improves this accuracy rate. That's all for
today. Keep up the good work.
