II. WORD STRESS

Stress is important in words and sentences. Knowing whether a syllable is stressed or
unstressed is an important part of pronouncing a word correctly. For example, re-CORD and
REC-ord have two very different meanings, but they have the same spelling, record.
Correctly stressing words and phrases gives rhythm to a sentence, and it signals the
importance of some information.
» TIP 1 Learn stress in order to pronounce words correctly.
All words with more than one syllable have stressed and unstressed syllables. Knowing
which syllables are stressed will help you pronounce words correctly and convey the correct
meaning.
In nouns and adjectives with two syllables, the stress usually falls on the first syllable. For
verbs with two syllables, the stress usually falls on the second syllable. Listen and read the
words in the chart.
TASK 1 Look at the words and analyze the suffixes. Underline the syllables that you think
are stressed.
10
Knowing prefixes (the small parts that come before the root of the word) can also help you
predict the stress pattern of a word. When the word is a verb or has more than two syllables,
the stress is usually on the second syllable of the word. Here are examples of some common
prefixes.
TASK 2 Look at the words and analyze the prefixes. Underline the syllables that you think
are stressed.
TASK 3 Read the sentences and notice the boldfaced words. Circle the boldfaced words that
are nouns, and underline the boldfaced words that are verbs. Then double-underline CJ the
>>TIP 2 Stress words in sentences to emphasize or contrast information.
Use stress within a sentence to show that certain information is new or important. You
can also use stress to contrast information.
A: Would you like some tea?
B: I ’d like some black (1) tea.
A: Sure, here you are.
B: Sorry, but this is green (2) tea. I asked fo r black (2) tea.
You should also use stress to give more emphasis to the words that naturally carry meaning in
sentences— the content words. Function words, or the words in a sentence that are used to
give grammatical structure, don’t usually receive as much stress unless the speaker wants to
give some sort of contrast or emphasis.
The employees are the ones to thank.
There’s really not a lot to say about that.
11
Finally, adverbs are frequently stressed to add emphasis.
We really don’t have much time.
I completely forgot the conference.
TASK 1. Underline the words that receive stress on the first syllable.
1. The correct numbers are 13 and 17, not 30 and 70.
2. We strongly suggest that you back up your computer files at the end of the day.
3. Our genealogists will conduct a very thorough search of your family tree.
4. On the new schedule, you will see that the bus departs on Tuesday at 1 p.m.
5. Your estimated wait time to speak to a representative is ten minutes.
6. The parking spaces are clearly marked “visitor.”
TASK 2 Read the sentences. Which boldfaced words do you think should be stressed?
Underline your choices.
1. The real estate office is located in the green house on the left.
2. You will receive a credit card within ten days after receipt of your application.
3. The message said to phone their office between 9 and 5, Monday to Friday.
4. We are currently reviewing your request and will respond within 30 days.
5. Please turn down the volume on the TV, not up.
III. INTONATION:
I/ Intonation:
Sentence intonation helps the listener understand the speaker’s meaning, in addition to
the speaker’s attitude or mood. The most common intonation patterns are rising-falling for
statements and information questions and rising for yes-no questions.
1. Falling tune:
» TIP 1: Use correct intonation for phrasing in statements.
Statements typically have falling intonation, meaning the speaker’s voice lowers slightly at
the end of the sentence.
We’ve had a lot o f success with the new plan.
There are a multitude o f reasons for the problem.
She really hasn’t done much in her new position.
Within a sentence, speakers may use rising or higher intonation in different situations. When
giving a series of numbers or a list of three or more items, the speaker will often use rising
12
intonation to let the listener know there is more to come. The speaker will then usually use
falling intonation on the last item to indicate the list is complete.
The key points here are time, expense, and quality.
Hotel management, health care, accounting, and education are all good career options.
Our new number is 218-555-3675.
Speakers will also use rising or higher intonation when there are clauses in a statement
to show that more information is to come. Notice the underlined clauses, the boldfaced
signpost words used to introduce them, and how the clauses affect intonation.
Because we don’t have the reports yet, we can’t have the meeting.
We really wanted to leave at 5:00; however, the plane was delayed.
I really wanted to go to the conference, until I saw the huge entry fees.
Although I usually enjoy mv job, this past month has been tough.
» TIP 2: Use correct intonation for questions.
- Information questions usually start with the word Who, What, Where,
When, Why, or How. These types of questions have falling intonation at the end of the
sentence.
What did you do last weekend? When do we need to be there?
Where is the meeting? How many people are coming?
Why didn’t he call? How much does it cost?
- Questions with ‘or’
These have a falling tune at the end
Would you like coffee or tea?
Would you like coffee and milk or tea?
- Question tags have falling intonation at the end of the sentence.
She couldn’t cook, could she?
You weren’t early, were you?
2. Rising tune:
13
Yes-No questions usually start with some form of an auxiliary verb, such as do, have, can, or
be. These types of questions have an up intonation. Listen to the yes-no questions below and
notice the intonation.
Do you want to join the call?
Have you seen the report?
B – Practice:
TASK : Do these questions have rising or falling intonation? Write for rising intonation
or for falling intonation. Then listen to check your answers and practice.
1. What do you think?
2. If Friday is not a good day, can we meet on Saturday?
3. I’m sorry, could you repeat that, please?
4. We didn’t hear that. What did he say?
5. What did John bring to the party?
6. How can I help you today?
7. Is this your first day here?
8. Have you sent the latest market reports?

PART III: RESPOND TO QUESTIONS
LESSON 7: INTRODUCTION TO PART 3 AND QUESTION TYPES

A. LANGUAGE FOCUS:
“Respond to questions” of the Speaking Test features a short prompt followed by three
related questions. The questions are given below the topic.
There is no preparation time allowed. You will be tested on your ability to comprehend the
questions and respond. For Questions 4 and 5, you will have 15 seconds to answer each
questions. You will have 30 seconds to answer Questions 6. Your responses will be evaluated
based on pronunciation, intonation and stress, grammar, vocabulary, cohesion, and relevance
and completeness of content.
EXAMPLE
38
II. Question Types:
There are three basic question types:
• Yes/No: the answer is "yes or no"

• Question-word: the answer is "information"
• Choice: the answer is "in the question"
We look at these in more detail below.
Yes/No questions
Sometimes the only answer that we need is yes or no. Look at these examples:
auxiliary main answer:

verb Subject not verb yes or no
Do You want dinner? Yes, I do.
39
auxiliary main answer:
verb Subject not verb yes or no
Can You drive? No, I can't.
Has She not finished her Yes, she

work? has.
Did They Go home? No, they

didn't.
Exception! Main verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple:
main verb be Subject
Is Anne French?
Was Ram at home?
WH-word questions
Sometimes we want more than yes or no for an answer. When asking for information, we
usually place a question-word at the beginning of the sentence. The question-word indicates
the information that we want, for
example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who(person). Look at these examples:
question auxiliary main answer:

word verb Not Subject verb information
Where Do You live? In Paris.
40
question auxiliary main answer:
word verb Not Subject verb information
When Will We have lunch? At 1pm.
Why Has n't Tara done it? Because she

can't.
Who(m) Did She meet? She met Ram.
Who* Has run out? Ati has run out.
Who** ran out? Ati ran out.
*When the question-word is who, it acts as the subject.

**In Present Simple and Past Simple tenses, there is no auxilary verb with who.
Exception. Main verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple:
question word Subject main verb
Where Is Bombay?
How Was she?
Choice questions
Sometimes we give our listener a choice. We ask them to choose between two possible
answers. So their answer is (usually) already in the question. Look at these examples:
41
answer:
auxiliary verb Subject main verb or in question
Do You Want tea or coffee? Coffee, please.
Will We Meet John or James? John.
Exception. Main verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple:
main verb be subject OR
Is your car white or black?
Were They $15 or $50?

an event or a plan. You should try to use language that is appropriate for speaking with
someone you don’t know and avoid speaking too informally or being impolite.
EX:
A Good Response: Just a moment, sir. Let me check that for you. I’m really sorry, but the
3:00 presentation has been canceled. There’s a similar presentation at 2:00. It covers
increasing sales, motivating employees, and improving your work environment. I can give
you more information on that, if you’d like.
