When people want to emphasise a word in a sentence,
they say that word
more loudly and also use a higher pitch, that is, they
move their voice up. You will hear five statements, each of which is a
response to a question. In each response a word or phrase -highlighted
in red- is emphasised. Click on the speakers and listen carefully!!
