Exercise 8.10
Adapted from: Smakman (2014)
Now pronounce each line from exercise 8.9 again, focusing on the meaning in brackets that you need to express. Record yourself and after that listen to the original in recording 8d one last time. So, this time it is not ‘listen and repeat’, but ‘speak and listen’. Send your recording to your teacher for feedback on how well you have managed to work with different forms of intonation in this exercise.
