Exercise 1-58: Creating Word Groups
Break the paragraph into natural word groups. Mark every place where
you think a pause is needed with a slash.
Hello, my name is_______________. 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?
Note In the beginning, your word groups should be very short. It'll be a sign of your growing
sophistication when they get longer.
