Exercise 1-17: Staircase Intonation¹ Practice                                  CD 1 Track 26 

Draw one step of the staircase for each word of the paragraph. Start a new staircase for every stressed word. There usually is  more than one staircase in a se ntence. New sentences don't have to start new staircases; they can cont inue from the previous sentence until you come to a stressed word. I'll read the beginning sentences. Chec k the first sentence  against the example. Then put the words o f the second sentence on a staircase, based on the way I read it. Remember, I'm exaggerating to make a point.
