Where marks are usually lost
Education appears four times – stress it the same way every time: ed·u·CA·tion. Second-syllable stress in re·FLEC·ting, im·POR·tance, con·TIN·ues; first-syllable in GOV·ern·ment and QUAL·i·fied. Keep the -ed in remained and qualified, the -s in means and continues.
General tip: innovate and update is a pair – link them smoothly with a light and rather than stopping between the two verbs.
