Exercise 1 -15: Application of Stress                                            CD 1 Track 23 

Mark every word or syllable1 with ' where you thin k that the sound is stressed. Use the first sentence as y our example. Check Answer Ke y , be ginning on pa ge 193. Pause the CD.

Hello, my’ name is______________. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pi ck up on the American intonation2 pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than  I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking  down a staircase3. I've been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to underst and. Anyway, I could go  on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. We ll, what do you think? Do I? 

V Listen and re-mark the stressed words with your  marker. After you've pu t in the accent marks where you think they belong, take one of the colored translucent4 markers and as I read very slowly, mark the words that I  stress. I am going to exaggerate the words far more than you' d normally hear in a normal  reading of the  paragraph. You can mark either the whole word or just the strong syllable, whiche ver you prefer, so that you have a bright spot of color for where the stress should fall.  

Note If you do the exercise onl y in pencil, your eye and mind will tend to skip over the accent marks.The spots of color, however, will register as "different" and thereby5 encourage your pitch change. This may strike you as unusual, but trust me, it works.  

*   Pause the CD and practice reading the paragraph out loud three times on your own.
