Words to stress correctly
| consideration | con·sid·er·A·tion | /kənsɪdɚˈeɪʃən/ |
| independent | in·de·PEN·dent | /ɪndɪˈpɛndənt/ |
| committee | com·MIT·tee | /kəˈmɪti/ |
| assessors | as·SES·sors | /əˈsɛsɚz/ |
| expertise | ex·per·TISE | /ɛkspɚˈtiz/ |

50 words, aim for 19–23 seconds. No numbers; the letter D is said "dee". Breathe after the first assessors, after case, after work and after year, then finish firmly on Appendix D.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress: ex·per·TISE on the last syllable, con·sid·er·A·tion on the fourth, in·de·PEN·dent on the third, com·MIT·tee, as·SES·sors, re·PORT·ing on the second. Dropping -s in assessors, its, meetings and -ed in joined, attended, included.
General tip: committee is three syllables "kuh-MIT-ee" — don't end it like "tea" with a long stressed vowel.
