Intonation in invitations, suggestions, and polite requests

Hiểu bài

The pronunciation lesson practises intonation in three interpersonal functions. Examples include Why don’t we use public transport to go to school? as a suggestion and Would you like to join our cooking course? as an invitation. Other situations involve polite requests and discussions of money management, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and time management. Learners listen, identify the function, mark the appropriate contour, and repeat the sentences naturally. The unit objective specifies fall-rise intonation for these polite interactional meanings.
