How to read it
Who do you think is the most glamorous person?‖A biotechnologist who led his company in international research,‖an ordinary welder who gained international fame through his work,‖or a photographer complimented widely for a series of photos?
| short pause ‖ breathe
Words to stress correctly
| international | in·ter·NA·tion·al | /ɪntɚˈnæʃənəl/ |
| photographer | pho·TOG·ra·pher | /fəˈtɑɡrəfɚ/ |
| complimented | COM·pli·ment·ed | /ˈkɑmpləmɛntɪd/ |
| ordinary | OR·di·nar·y | /ˈɔrdənɛri/ |
| glamorous | GLAM·or·ous | /ˈɡlæmɚəs/ |
| research | re·SEARCH | /riˈsɝtʃ/ |
38 words, aim for 15–17 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after person?, after research, and after work,; the three options are a list, so rise slightly on the first two and fall on photos.
Where marks are usually lost
pho·TOG·ra·pher takes second-syllable stress, unlike photo. in·ter·NA·tion·al appears twice—stress the third syllable both times. Keep the -ed on complimented and gained, and the -s on photos.
General tip: biotechnologist is long; say it as one word without a pause in the middle, and move straight on to who led.
