Z and S Sounds

I've learned something new today (that before seemed unnoticeable) - english words ending with the z or s sounds. Now these words are very common. Wouldn't it be nice to sound correct when we're using them in our sentences?
Here's a list:

(z) abuse (verb)
(s) abuse (noun)
(z) lose
(s) loose
(z) peas
(s) piece/peace
(z) eyes
(s) ice
(z) fears
(s) fierce
(z) rise
(s) rice
(z) plays
(s) place
(z) knees
(s) niece
(z) advise
(s) advice
(z) raise
(s) race

Read them out loud and practice pronouncing them properly. Now...go!
