As we have focused in the Listening exercises. In speaking there are some key

areas of concentration while speaking:

1.Syllable2.Stress3.Intonation pitch tone

28

A syllable is a unit of sound within a word that consist of a single uninterrupted vowel sound, with or without consonants either side of it. A syllable cannot consist of only a consonant sound.

Example:

word Break up

Mother Mo / therAmazing A/ma/zingDiction dic / tionCongratulation con /gratu/ lation India In/dia Development de/ve/lop/ment

29

Intonation can be defined as the sound changes produced by the rise and fall of the voice when speaking, especially when this has an effect on the meaning of what has been said.

Pitch is the degree to which a sound is high or low.

Tone is the quality of voice which express the speakers feeling or thoughts.

>What ever you talk in your daily life, Try to talk in English.

>Analyze where you find the problem

while speaking.>Take out the unknown word, Find out

their meaning then implement while speaking.

>Practice ------practice--------practice. It can only help to make you perfect. 31
