Words to stress correctly
| macroeconomics | mac·ro·e·co·NOM·ics | /mækroʊɛkəˈnɑmɪks/ |
| microeconomic | mi·cro·e·co·NOM·ic | /maɪkroʊɛkəˈnɑmɪk/ |
| productivity | pro·duc·TIV·i·ty | /proʊdəkˈtɪvəti/ |
| understanding | un·der·STAND·ing | /ʌndɚˈstændɪŋ/ |
| uncertainty | un·CER·tain·ty | /ənˈsɝtənti/ |
| industrial | in·DUS·tri·al | /ɪnˈdʌstriəl/ |
48 words, aim 18–22 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after reform, market and policies; short pauses after macroeconomics, policy and uncertainty.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress mac·ro·e·co·NOM·ics and mi·cro·e·co·NOM·ic on the fifth syllable, pro·duc·TIV·i·ty and un·der·STAND·ing on the third, un·CER·tain·ty and in·DUS·tri·al on the second. Don't slow down before the two long economics words. Keep the -s in includes, effects, covers, areas, policies, rates.
General tip: macro and micro are the contrast—give them a slight extra push so the listener hears the difference, but keep the main stress on NOM.
