In English, sentences stress is very important. We stress key words, which give the main information and the main ideas.
Learning to learn
Key words are usually the nouns, verbs, and adjectives, not the “grammar words”, such as articles and auxiliary verbs (助动词).
– Shenzhen is larger in population than Beijing.
– No, it isn’t. It’s smaller.
2. – Hong Kong is newer than Shenzhen.
– No, it isn’t. It’s older.
3. – Shenzhen is as old as Hong Kong.
– No, it isn’t. It’s newer.
4. – Hong Kong is as busy as Shenzhen.
– No, it isn’t. It’s busier.
Listen and notice how the speaker stresses the underlined words.
Now work in pairs. Listen again and repeat.
我们在朗读英语或用英语交谈时，并不是将句子中的每个词都读得一样响亮、一样清楚，而是有些词要读得又轻又快，而且较为含糊，有些词则读得又重又慢，而且较为清晰。那些读得响亮而清晰的词就是句子重音所在。
句子重音的功能有两个：
1) 体现句子的节奏感和韵律感。
2) 突出重点，使听者更容易理解。
e.g. — You’re ten years old, aren’t you
— No, I’m not. I’m thirteen.
