Task 1: “Stairs”: Add one word to every sentence to make it as long as possible.
Practice reading the sentences one by one until you feel that different words are stressed in them. Read the example and then make up yours. Mind that intonation is different in general (rising tone) and special (falling tone) questions.
Does your fellow sing?
What does your fellow sing?
Which songs does your fellow sing?
What kind of songs does your fellow sing?
What kind of songs does your fellow usually sing?
What kind of American songs does your fellow usually sing?
What kind of American songs does your best fellow usually sing?
Now it’s your turn. Your sentences are:
Do you play tennis?
Does Nick get letters?
