Practice stressing the focus words and pausing between the thought groups.
- I want to talk to you // about something important.
- If you give me your email address,*// I will send you the information.
- Every time I stop by his office, // he’s too busy to talk to me.
- I wonder how long // it will take me //to learn to speak English like you.
- What did you think of the new restaurant // that we went to last night?
- 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.)
