REVISION FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER – ENGLISH 9 I. PHONETIC . Unit 1. Stress on content words in sentences In spoken English, the following kinds of words are usually stressed: main verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, wh-question words, and negative auxiliaries (e.g. don't). Words such as pronouns, prepositions, articles, conjunctions, possessive adjectives, be (even if it is a main verb in the sentence), and auxiliary verbs are normally unstressed. Unit 2. Stress on pronouns in sentences Most pronouns have strong and weak forms. Normally we use the weak form, but if the word is stressed because it is especially important, or because we want to show a contrast, we use the strong form. Unit3 . Stress on the verbs “ be “ in sentences Normally the verb “be” is unstressed in the middle or at the start of a sentence for a statement or question. However, the verb be is stressed in negative questions and at the end of sentences. Also, it is stressed for emphasis or contrast. Unit 4. Stress on auxiliary verbs in sentences An auxiliary is not usually stressed. However, an auxiliary will often be stressed when: it is emphasized, we add it to emphasise the main verb, it comes at the end of the sentence, it is negative. Unit 5. Stress on short words in sentences Short words like articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (and, or), and prepositions (at, of, to) are usually unstressed or in the weak form. However, we use these short words in the strong form in the following cases: when the short words are used at the end of sentences. ,when the short words are used for emphasis and contrast, when the short words are used for citation. Unit 6. Stress on all words in sentences Stress on all the words in sentences Typically, a sentence has one word or syllable that is stressed more strongly than the rest of the stressed syllables on the content words. However, in some sentences used to show urgency or surprise, all the words are important. Therefore, we put stress on one syllable of each word. Sentences with all the words stressed may have the patterns below: 00 Watch out! 00o Say sorry! 0o0 Hurry up! 000 Don't come back! II. VOCABULARY Choose the right option to complete the sentences. 1.

First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time. Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night. Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework. No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together. 1.
