Words to stress correctly

50 words, aim for 19–23 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after rehabilitation, and after the first activities,; the closing quote mark after the second activities is just a short pause before A useful thing to take a crack at ('take a crack at' = try).

Where marks are usually lost

Build re·ha·bil·i·TA·tion steadily to TA — don't speed up or stall before it. ap·pli·CA·tion stresses CA; in·TEN·si·ties, par·TIC·u·lar, ac·TIV·i·ties the second syllable; un·der·STAND the last. Keep -s in activities (twice) and intensities, and -ing in targeting, following.

General tip: particular activities appears twice; say it identically both times with a light, even rhythm so the repetition sounds deliberate.

What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt

中文: “我们最先瞄准的主要应用,是在急性膝关节损伤后的康复期为人们提供决策辅助,帮助他们了解何时可以进行特定活动,以及何时可以转入特定活动的不同强度。”这是一件值得一试的有用的事。

हिन्दी: "हम सबसे पहले जिस मुख्य अनुप्रयोग पर काम कर रहे हैं, वह है घुटने की तीव्र चोट के बाद पुनर्वास के दौरान लोगों को निर्णय में सहायता देना, ताकि वे समझ सकें कि वे कब कौन-सी विशेष गतिविधियाँ कर सकते हैं और कब उन गतिविधियों की अलग तीव्रता पर जा सकते हैं।" यह एक उपयोगी काम है जिसे आज़माना चाहिए।

नेपाली: "हामीले सुरुमा लक्षित गरेको मुख्य प्रयोग भनेको घुँडामा तीव्र चोट लागेपछिको पुनर्स्थापना अवधिमा मानिसहरूलाई निर्णय लिन सहयोग दिनु हो, जसले उनीहरूलाई कहिले कुन विशेष क्रियाकलाप गर्न सकिन्छ र कहिले ती क्रियाकलापका फरक तीव्रतामा जान सकिन्छ भनेर बुझ्न मद्दत गर्छ।" यो प्रयास गर्न लायक एउटा उपयोगी काम हो।

Tiếng Việt: "Ứng dụng chính mà chúng tôi hướng tới trước hết là cung cấp cho mọi người một công cụ hỗ trợ quyết định trong quá trình phục hồi chức năng sau chấn thương đầu gối cấp tính, giúp họ hiểu khi nào có thể thực hiện các hoạt động cụ thể và khi nào có thể chuyển sang các mức cường độ khác của những hoạt động đó." Một việc hữu ích đáng để thử.
