S h o r t : About ten days. Till Monday week in fact.

W i l l s : Let's see. Today's Thursday, and I shall be going out of town next Wednesday. What about Monday? Is that any use to

you, or have you got other things on?

S h o r t : Could you make it the afternoon? I've already made an appointment for the morning. I might be able to change it — if I

could let you know this afternoon.

W i l l s : No, no; that's all right. We'll make it Monday afternoon. What shall we say — half-past two?

S h o r t : Yes, that'll be fine. Thanks very much.

W i l l s : Good. I'm sorry to have to push you out like this now, but we'll have our talk on Monday. See you then.

5.This exercise is meant to review Intonation Patterns VI and VII. Listen to the following sentences. Mark the

stresses and tunes. Listen to the sentences again, and repeat them in the intervals. Pronounce each group of

sentences several times so as to accustom yourself to the various intonation patterns. Do not forget to blend the

words together smoothly. In order to improve your ability to control the ups and downs of your voice, to hear

and produce an intonation pattern record the groups of sentences, play the recording back. The fellow-stu-

dents will try to detect any failure to reproduce the pattern. Give a conversational context with the same

sentences. Say what attitudes you mean to render. Make a dialogue of your own.
