Exercise 1-18: Reading with Staircase 1 Intonation 2 CD 1

Track 27

Read the following with clear intonation where marked.

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?
