I'm Trang (Teresa) from Vietnam. 20 years old. I'm an English teacher. I made this episode to introduce you guys about STAIRCASE INTONATION in speaking English.
My email add: luongnhattrang@gmail.com.
Script:
Exercise 1: Reading with Staircase Intonation

Read the following with clear intonation where it marked.

Hello, my name is Trang. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking down a staircase. I've been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I?

  • I really don't see the point of this video: is she trying to promote a coursebook? it seems so, although the title would suggest otherwise. I suggest that she tries to understand the meaning of intonation before she even uses the word

  • Trang, I'm impressed by your clear pronunciation and intonation. Well done!!

  • That's great chan!

    

  • Trang, your English is superb! Keep it up!
