Abstract
You will learn how to
• find out the pronunciation of your key words
• decide which words and phrases need emphasizing
• improve your intonation and avoid speaking in a monotone
Why is this important?
Many people in the audience will not be familiar with your type of accent. If they cannot understand what you are saying, your presentation cannot be successful.
