Review Exercise 9: Ignorance on Parade      CD 4 track 8

Now, let's dissect¹ a standard paragraph, including its title, as we did in Review Exercise 1. First—in the boxes in the first paragraph, decide which is a descriptive phrase, which is a set phrase, and where any additional stress might fall. Remember, descriptive phrases are stressed on the second word and set phrases on the first. Use one of your colored markers to indicate the stressed words. Second—go through the paragraph and mark the remaining stressed words. Third—put slash marks where you think a short pause is appropriate. Listen as I read the paragraph.

×Pause the CD and do the written exercises including intonation², word groups, liaisons³, [æ], [ä], [ə], and the American T.
