Practice stressing the focus words and pausing between the thought groups.

1. I want to talk to you // about something important.
2. If you give me your email address,*// I will send you the information.
3. Every time I stop by his office, // he’s too busy to talk to me.
4. I wonder how long // it will take me //to learn to speak English like you.
5. What did you think of the new restaurant // that we went to last night?
6. He has been looking for a new job // for a long time now // but he just hasn’t found anything // that he really likes.

(*Email address is a compound noun, so we stress the first word.)
