Application of Intonation
    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 other around it.
    Reminder The three ways to change you voice for intonation are: (1) Volume (speaker louder), (2) Length ( stretch out a word), and (3) Pitch ( change you tone).
