Before learning the rules of intonation, you should try a few activities to practice changing the intonation (pitch) of your voice.
Practice your intonation by making your voice go up and down with audio recording.

mmmmm MM mmmmm MM mmmmm MM mmmmm MM
du du du DA du du du DA du du du DA du du du DA du

Use rising intonation when you say these words:
Hello? | Really? | Ready? | Now? | Excuse me? |

Use falling intonation when you say these words:
Hello | Really | Ready | Now | Excuse me |

Read these sentences and make your voice go up and down where the words go up and down.
