Pronunciation too. Listen to the conversation above and underlying the weak forms the speakers used. Then practice the conversation with your partner. Excuse me, miss corner, i'm having a problem with this english listening task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound different. Oh, let me listen. Yes, that's probably because the words are not being stressed. You see, english is a stress based language. So does this mean I need to know which words are stressed in which are not? Yes, i'm afraid. so. English words have a strong form and a weak farm. Words like pronounced articles, prepositions and so on are often not stressed, so we usually use the weak form for them when we speak. Oh no, when I speak, I worry people would understand me, so I always try to pronounce all my words really clearly. No wonder my classmates say I sound like a robot. Oh dear, well, I suggest you pay more attention to the weak farms. For example, in the sentence, are you studying hard? The words are, and you are pronounced as, and yeah oh. I get IT. Thanks, miss color. You're welcome. I also suggest you watch the movies and study how the weak farms are used. That's great advice, miss color, i'm going to watch a movie right now. Thanks again. bye.
