发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words end in the sound /ˈseɪʃən/, which matches the stressed final parts of cessation /seˈseɪʃən/: nation, location, relation, vacation, conversation. Be careful: concession looks similar (the -cess- spelling) but is pronounced /kənˈseʃən/ with /e/, not /eɪ/, so it does not rhyme.
