学习目标
To understand the concept of sentence stress;
To listen to and identify the stressed words in conversations;
To correctly stress the words in sentences according to different emphatic intentions.
When we say words with more than one syllable, we stress one of the syllables.
The stressed syllable sounds stronger.
当一个单词含有不止一个音节时，其中一个音节将会比其他所有音节都重要，此时这个音节叫做重读音节。
Stress in a word
Revision
The stress can be on the beginning, middle or last syllable of a word.
1 Stressing the beginning syllable
pres·ent fa·vour·ite em·per·or
2 Stressing the middle syllable
3 Stressing the last syllable
mu·se·um tra·di·tion de·li·cious
be·tween to·day en·gi·neer
When we speak English, we often stress important words, e.g. nouns, main verbs, adjectives and adverbs. We do not usually stress less important words, e.g. articles, prepositions, pronouns or conjunctions.
Stress in sentences
一般来说，句子中表达具体意思的实词如名词、动词、形容词和副词等多为重读，而虚词如冠词、连词、介词、人称代词、助动词、情态动词肯定式等弱读。

Presentation
Zhao Yue is working on a picture of bamboo. It means “I wish you a safe and healthy life”.
However, the words are not equally important. We can stress some of these words to show that they are more important information.
Now, read more examples.
Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
(Zhao Yue smiles. It’s not somebody else.)
Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
(She does not look sad.)
Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
(The picture is beautiful, not ugly.)
Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
(It is a picture of bamboo, not any other thing.)
1. Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
2. Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
3. Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
4. Zhao Yue smiles when she finishes a beautiful picture of bamboo.
What do we stress in the sentences
In sentence 1, we stress the person who smiles. In sentence 2, we stress the action that Zhao Yue does. In sentence 3, we stress the adjective that describes the picture. And in sentence 4, we stress the content of the picture. Thus, the words in a sentence are not equally important. We can stress some of these words to show that they are more important information.
Read the sentences again and feel the differences.
Sandy: Where are you going, Millie
Millie: I’m going to the supermarket.
Sandy: What are you going to buy
Millie: My scissors are broken. I’m going to buy a new pair.
Sandy: I need some pens. Can I go with you
Millie: Of course.

Answer the following questions.
(1) Can we stress every word in a sentence
(2) Why do we need to stress some words in a sentence
No, we only stress key information because if every word is stressed, no word is stressed.
Because it can highlight the information that is more important.
Talk about your favourite Chinese folk art, focusing on the stress in sentences.
Chinese paper-cutting is an amazing art. We just use scissors to cut paper into different shapes. It’s really cool.
Chinese lanterns look so pretty at night, with all the different colours.
