Words to stress correctly
| university | u·ni·VER·si·ty | /junəˈvɝsəti/ |
| allocated | AL·lo·ca·ted | /ˈæləkeɪtɪd/ |
| encourage | en·COUR·age | /ɛnˈkɝɪdʒ/ |
| personal | PER·son·al | /ˈpɝsɪnəl/ |
| support | sup·PORT | /səˈpɔrt/ |
| achieve | a·CHIEVE | /əˈtʃiv/ |
54 words, aim 21–25 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after university, way and course; pause briefly before who and before and help so the three-verb list stays clear.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress u·ni·VER·si·ty on the third syllable, AL·lo·ca·ted and PER·son·al on the first, en·COUR·age, sup·PORT, a·CHIEVE on the second. Sound the -s in helps, students, sources, goals and the /ɪd/ ending in allocated.
General tip: support appears twice — same stress both times (sup·PORT), never SUP·port.
