II. LANGUAGE
Pronunciation
Intonation in statements, commands, and lists
💡Remember!
• Intonation describes how a speaker's voice rises and falls in speech, and is very important in communication.
• We usually use falling intonation at the end of statements and commands to show certainty.
• When listing things, we slightly raise our voice on each item (level-rising intonation) and lower our voice on the last item to show that the list is complete.
1. Listen and repeat. Pay attention to the falling intonation and level-rising intonation in the following sentences. 🎧
1. Our class is going on a field trip next week.
2. Put your rubbish in the bin!
3. You can see beautiful caves , green valleys , and high mountains.
