Intonation
When we speak, our voice does not stay at the same pitch and volume; it rises and falls to express a variety of emotions or functions. Open the Intonation audio file and listen to the differences. Look at the questions. Listen to the tonal version of the sentence and indicate the rise or fall. The first one has been completed as an example. 1) 2) Where is your house? Were going to the zoo!

3)

4)
