Answer key
- Thank you all for coming to this information session.“All” is stressed. The stress in “information” is on “may”.
- Most of our volunteers help to maintain the walking paths.“To” is weak: “help-t’maintain”.
- Others count birds or guide school groups around the site.The t of “count” is short. “Site” sounds like “sight”.
- You don't need any experience, as full training is provided.The t of “don’t” is almost silent. “As” here means because.
- Please wear strong boots, because the ground can get muddy.Both words in “strong boots” are stressed.
