HOW we speak WHAT we say is important but also HOW we say it. Things to remember when talking: * Intonation * Tone * Volume * Stressing words * Pauses * Fluency * Eye contact * Body language * Speed
Punctuation Differences You are cute. You are cute! You are cute?
You’re not so cute, but not ugly. You are very cute. You think you are cute but I don’t think you are.
That’s Bobby. That’s Bobby! He’s my brother. He’s a very famous actor. That’s Bobby? Yes, he’s the new student. That’s Bobby?! He looks so different now.
Intonation
Your voice is like a rollercoaster, it goes up and down when you talk. Monotone = no intonation
UP ENDING Excitement, most questions, surprise
DOWN ENDING fact, statement
The Rise and Fall of Intonation When we speak, our intonation is ALWAYS going up and done, but when we ask questions, when does it go up and down??? YES/NO questions Other questions
= intonation goes up at the end. = intonation goes down at the end.

A Syllable… what is it?! A syllable is a part of a word. In English, a syllable has one vowel sound and may have several consonant sounds. (An easy way to count syllables is to count how many times your chin drops when you say the word.) Waiting = wai [chin drops here] ting = 2 syllables
Vowel: a, e, i, o, u Consonant: the others letters of the alphabet (b, c, d..)
How many syllables do you hear?

Syllable Stress In English, one syllable in each word is stressed more than the other syllable.. Unstressed syllables vs. stressed syllables
Stressed syllable: longer, louder, higher intonation
Stress Rules Rule #1: 2 syllable Rule #2: prefixes & words suffixes They are usually not stressed.
Noun = stress 1st syllable (person/place/thing) Example: Prefix = un~, im~ Verb = stress 2nd syllable Suffix= ~ed, ~ing (action word) walking talked present present unhappy Object object Record record

Sometimes we use stress when we want to correct wrong information or to contrast what someone else said.
Example: You’re wrong. -> You’re wrong.
