Press the player above. There are nine sentences. I'll say them about four times, the first time quick to get the meaning then slowly.

Check the words letter by letter and correct them. See if you can use memory tricks to remember these words. Or use the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check method. 

You may be able to remember them in the sound groups:
borough / thorough
cough/rough
night/sight/flight
eight/weight/neighbour... Try different ways that suit you.
