LESSON NINE Listen and repeat.
[00:16.40]calm as calm as not as calm as
[00:28.34]nervous as nervous as not as nervous as
[00:38.90]Listen to this conversation betwwn two people.
[00:45.37]one who is calm and one who is nervous ...very vervous.
[00:52.53]Please,Jane.Tell me your secret!My secret?What secret?
[00:59.90]Jack,what are you talking about?
[01:04.34]Tell me why you're always calm.
[01:08.49]I'm never calm.But someday I hope to be as calm as you are.
[01:15.05]As calm as I am?Oh,Jack,I'm not as calm as a lot of people.
[01:22.49]And something I get very nervous.
[01:27.56]You nervous?Well,you're not as nervous as I am now.
[01:33.41]And you're nerver as nerwous as I am.all the time.
[01:39.08]Oh,Jack,Really!Now say if these sentences are true or false.
[01:49.35]If the sentence is false.give the correct answer.
[01:54.91]Jack thinks Jane is very nervous.
[01:59.95]False.Jack thinks Jane is very calm.
[02:08.31]Someday he hopes to be as calm as she is.
[02:14.48]False.Somdeay he hopes to be as calm as she is.
[02:20.64]Jane says she is not as calm as some people.
[02:26.57]True.She says sometimes she gets very calm.
[02:34.83]False.She says sometimes she gets very nervous.
[02:42.19]Jack says,"You're not as calm as I am now.
[02:48.54]False.Jack says You're not as nervous as I am now.
[02:56.20]He says Jane is never as nervous as he is.all the time.True.
[03:05.76]Now do you remember the difference between the question word whose
[03:12.81]spelled w-h-o-s-e and the quetion word who's spelled w-h-o apostrophe s?
[03:28.98]They both have the same pronunciation,
[03:34.75]whose---who's but the spelling is different.
[03:41.70]Also,w-h-o-s-e is used in front of a noun,like whose book or whose initials.
[03:55.78]w-h-o apostrophe s means "who is"Who's the boss?means"who is the boss?"
[04:08.45]Now you're going to hear some.sentences which start with either
[04:14.41] w-h-o-s-e or w-h-o apostrophe s.
[04:24.44]After each question,spell the question word.
[04:30.71]Then you will hear the correct spelling.
[04:34.96]For example you hear,Who's the reporter in Murder at Midnight?
[04:44.63]And you say:W-h-o apostrophe s.
[04:52.08]Then you will hear the correct spelling:
[04:57.53]w-h-o apostrophe s.
[05:03.10]Ready?Let's begin.Who's the reporter in:Murder at Midnight?
[05:12.76]W-h-o apostrophe s.
[05:17.62]whose baby is six months old?w-h-o-s-e
[05:27.26]whose apartment is on Eighth Street?W-h-o-s-e
[05:36.90]who's the star of Murder at Midnight?W-h-o apostrophe s.
[05:47.53]Who's going to Stamford tomorrow?W-h-o apostrophe s.
[05:57.41]whose hair is very short?w-h-o-s-e
[06:06.05]Did you notice that when you say some sentences,
[06:11.20]your voice goes down at the end?
[06:15.75]This is called "falling intonation."
[06:21.99]For example at the end of a statement:Maybe he went home.
[06:30.03]Or at the end of a question that you can't answer with only"Yes.or NO
[06:37.90]Whose is it?But when you can answer a question with "Yes or No"
[06:45.76]the voice goes up at the end.This is called rising intonation."For example
[06:56.31]Is anyone here?Listen and repeat the following sentenes.
[07:04.15]Imitate the voice you hear.
[07:08.70]If it goes up at the end make your voice go up.
[07:15.17]If the voice you hear goes down,make your voice go down.
[07:21.73]Ready?Let's begin.Oh,hi.How are you this morning ?
[07:30.98]I'm fine.How are you?By the way,is this script yours?NO,It isn't mine?
[07:44.85]Then whose is it?It has coffee on it.It's probably Charles's .
[07:55.90]Yes ,yor're right.Now listen to another dialogue.Just listen.
[08:06.35]Tell me something Mary Beth.Was Jeff late again for rehearsal?
[08:13.30]No,he wasn't.By the way,Rita,what's your reaction to Jeff?
[08:21.05]Is he too nervous to be a good actor?
[08:26.23]I don't think so.He's very young.And very nervous.
[08:33.67]He needs more reassurance from you older actors.
[08:39.55]Rita!Jeff and I are almost the same age.
[08:45.79]Do I look like I should be in a museum?
[08:51.15]Now listen to this dialogue again.
[08:55.41]After each phrase,there's going to be a pause.
[09:01.36]During the pause,say"Rising"if the voice you heard went up.
[09:09.72]But if the voice you heard went down say "Falling"
[09:16.17]For example,you hear:Tell me something.Mary Beth.
[09:22.52]And you say:Falling.Ready?Let's begin.
[09:29.78]Tell me something Mary Beth.Falling.was Jeff late again for rehearsal?

[10:51.91]Rising.To end this lesson,listen one more time to that dialogue.
[10:59.96]This time repeat what you hear.
[11:04.40]Follow the intonation of the speaker's voice,either up or down,Ready?Begin.
