PRACTICE
Poets and song writers often use the rhythm of English in their work. We do not always speak this way, but practicing the rhythm of poetry and music can help you feel the rhythm of English.
Read these poems and stress the bold words.
Bob the Developer: | There once was a developer named Bob, who couldn’t find joy in his job. He wanted to quit, but he couldn’t admit that he did love to hear himself sob. |
An office poem: | The lights are not on - not a soul to be found. The boss must be gone 'cause no one’s around. |
