美语口语发音训练 第一册22

Application of Intonation CD 1 Track 22

There is always at least one stressed word in a sentence and frequently you can have quite a few

if you are introducing a lot of new information or if you want to contrast several things. Look at

the paragraph in Exercise 1-15. Take a pencil and mark every word that you think should be

stressed or sound stronger than the words around it. I'd like you to make just an accent mark (')

to indicate a word you think should sound stronger than others around it.

Reminder The three ways to change your voice for intonation are: (1) Volume (speak louder),

(2) Length (stretch out a word), and (3) Pitch (change your tone).

* Pause the CD and work on the paragraph below.
