Learning aims:
To recognize the intonations of different kinds of sentences.
（能够识别不同句型的语调：升调和降调）
2. To read with the right intonation.
（用正确的语调朗读句子）
语调（intonation）是一句话里声调高低抑扬轻重的变化。英语有两种基本的语调: 升调和降调。一句话除了词汇意义之外，还有语调意义。语调意义是指讲话者用语调表示的态度或口气。同样的句子，语调不同，意思就会不同。

When we ask a yes / no question, our tone rises at the end of the question.

2. Is the zoo far away from our school?
When we ask a wh-question, our tone usually falls at the end of the question.
1. What can you see across the bridge?
2. How do I get there?
We make our tone rise at the end of a sentence to show surprise.
Simon: The zoo is about three kilometres away from our school.

—— It’s going to rain heavily tomorrow.
—— Rain?

（1）升调 : 升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思，比如一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式表示惊讶的各类句子。
eg： Are there any lions ?
Open the door , please?
—— It’s going to rain heavily tomorrow.
—— Rain? Really?
Summary
（2）降调 : 降调表示“肯定”和“完结”。一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、命令句和感叹句中。

This one has been my number for more
than 20 years.
W: That's impossible. I remember the number
clearly. Isn't this 763-4565?
