Of course, you will have to break at every comma and  every period, but besides those breaks, add other little pauses to  let your listeners catch up with you or think ove r the last burst of information and to allow you time to take a br eath. Let's work on this  technique. In doing the following exercise, you should think of using  breath groups  and  idea groups.
