Emphasising
words
You will hear six statements on the recording, each of which is a response to a question. In
each response a word is emphasised. Listen and choose the correct question, A or B, for each response.
E X A M P L E :
AIs the wedding next week?
BWas the wedding last Saturday?
You hear 'It's next Saturday.' So the correct question is A.
1 A Where's the service?
B Is the service at St Michael's church?
2A Where's the party afterwards?
B What's happening at Sophie's house?
3 A Where have you been?
15 When are you going to the dressmaker's?
4A Has Rachel bought a hat for the wedding?
B Has Rachel borrowed a suit for the wedding?
5A Does the bridegroom have brown eyes? 15 Does the bridegroom have black hair?
Here are three different questions which each have the same response. But note how you need
to emphasise different words in the response, depending on the question.
E X A M P L E :
AWhen's the fashion show? It's on June 2nd.
BIs the fashion show on July 2nd? It's on June 2nd.
CIs the fashion show on June 3rd? It's on June 2nd.
Now practise emphasising different words in the same response, depending on the prompt. (The prompt may be either a question or a statement.) Then listen to the recording to check.
1 A Julia looks happy. She's got a new coat.
BI think Julia needs a new coat. She's got a new coat.
CIs Julia going to wear that awful old coat?
She's got a new coat.
2 A Don't forget to take them something. I've got a bottle of champagne.
