 Students look at the audio script on page 

79, listen to the two short conversations and 

mark the stressed words on the script. After 

feedback, they practise these conversations with 

a partner, using the appropriate sentence stress.  

1  

A: When are we due to finish? 

B: Tomorrow, I think. 

2  

A: What’s your schedule next week? 

B: Well, I’m starting a new project on Monday! 

Extra activity 

Ask students how the meaning would change 

if different words were stressed in the 

conversations in Activity 6.  

 

Answer 

The stressed word generally carries a stronger 

meaning, so by changing the stress, you can 

change the emphasis.
