Connected Speech (1)

When native speakers of English speak they connect words and sometimes you can't recognize them because several words sound just like one word.

In order to be able to recognize connections when listening you have to be aware of them and you have to use them also to make them active in your mind.

Watch the video to listen to some examples.

Now practise with the sentences you worked on in class and pay attention to connected speech as well as sentence stress.

1. What are you going to do tonight?

2. Are you going to see a film?

3. I'm going to cook a meal for you.

4. I think it's going to rain.

5. We aren't going to have a holiday this year.
