Words to stress correctly
| participating | par·TI·ci·pa·ting | /pɑrˈtɪsəpeɪtɪŋ/ |
| individual's | in·di·VI·du·al's | /ɪndəˈvɪdʒəwəlz/ |
| activity | ac·TI·vi·ty | /ækˈtɪvəti/ |
| diabetes | di·a·BE·tes | /daɪəˈbitiz/ |
| obesity | o·BE·si·ty | /oʊˈbisəti/ |
| recommends | re·com·MENDS | /rɛkəˈmɛndz/ |
66 words in 25–30 seconds. Say 30 as “thirty”. Breathe after wellbeing, diseases, cancer and activity; keep the list heart disease – stroke – obesity – diabetes – cancer on a steady tune, falling only on the last item.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress par·TI·ci·pa·ting, in·di·VI·du·al's, o·BE·si·ty, di·a·BE·tes and re·com·MENDS, not the first syllable. Don't pause before 30 minutes. Keep the endings: diseases, forms, Guidelines, Adults, recommends, benefits.
General tip: The comma list is the trap: name each item cleanly without rushing the last one, some forms of cancer.
