Read the following presentation extract:

That’s where we wanna be. That is where we wanna be. And we’re

introducing a product today that takes us exactly there, and that product is

called i-pod. I-mac, I-book, I-pod. What is i-pod? I-pod is an MP3 music

player, has CD-quality music, and it plays all of the popular open formats of

digital music: MP3, MP3 variable bit rate, WAV and AIFF. But the biggest

thing about i-pod is it holds a thousand songs. Now this is a quantum leap

because for most people it’s their entire music library. This is huge. How

many times have you gone on the road with a CD player, and said ‘’Oh

God, the CD, I didn’t bring the CD I wanted to listen to.’’ To have your

whole music library with you at all times is a quantum leap in listening to

music.
1. Mark each pause with:

/ - short pause

// - long pause

2. Now underline the words you would stress.

Practice the speech aloud.
