3) Explain the 5 types of exercises Chela de Rodriguez uses in order to teach ER.

Hello ppl!

These are the assignments for the students from the Thursday group who missed this week´s lesson because of the Easter holiday:

2) Complete assignments on stress 1 and 2. You should read the first four pages featuring theory on English stress.
3) Read the first section of "Frank´s first football match" (Say with Rhythm II) and try to reproduce the intonation patterns. We shall record that lesson next week.
4) Transcribe the second dialogue taken from The listening file. Please use phonetic script and mark sentence stress (do NOT mark intonation, i.e. you souldn´t mark kinetic stresses)

Best!
Happy Easter!!
Laura
