Words to stress correctly
| responsibility | re·spon·si·BIL·i·ty | /rispɑnsəˈbɪləti/ |
| cooperation | co·op·er·A·tion | /koʊɑpɚˈeɪʃən/ |
| constructive | con·STRUC·tive | /kənsˈtrʌktɪv/ |
| involvement | in·VOLVE·ment | /ɪnˈvɑlvmənt/ |
| conducive | con·DU·cive | /kənˈdusɪv/ |
| endeavors | en·DEAV·ors | /ɪnˈdɛvɚz/ |
47 words, aim 18–21 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after skills, others and endeavors; take a short pause after succeed and us.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress re·spon·si·BIL·i·ty on the fourth syllable, co·op·er·A·tion on the fourth, and con·DU·cive, con·STRUC·tive, in·VOLVE·ment, en·DEAV·ors on the second. Don't slow before conducive. Keep the -s in attitudes, skills, others, endeavors and demands.
General tip: the list "knowledge and attitudes and skills" has two "and"s—keep them weak (/ənd/) so the nouns carry the rhythm.
