PRACTICE

Read and stress the bold words.

Enid was an engineer
noted for her research
in computer network
security systems.
Although she often analyzed
complicated attacks
on computers,
the security system
for her house
baffled her.
When she first installed
her own alarm system,
she avoided
turning it on
because it beeped
at regular intervals
and bothered her.
She believed
that a system
wasn’t needed
for her house.
She felt her neighborhood
was safe.
 

Did you notice that every thought group had at least one stressed word?
