Previously, I was confused about the different pronunciation between desert” and “dessert.” I always pronounced them wrongly. Then, I asked my mom, and she told me that the pronunciation of desert is “dez-ert” and dessert is pronounced “di-zurt”. And they have different meanings. The noun“desert” means a barren or desolate area, and the verb ‘desert” means to leave (a person, place, etc), whereas the noun “dessert” means a sweet dish such as fruit, ice cream, or pastry served at the end of a meal. Now, I understand, but I think it’s so strange to pronounce them. Do you think so, my pals? P.S. I found this website http://dictionary.reference.com/. It can help me to write this passage and I think it’s very useful. Well, I hope it will be useful for you too.
