Dear Kirk,
thanks a lot for your kindness to answer me. I understand the point you made and, of course, you are right.But, even though, I can't differentiate the two intonations described by Rob on screen 17. That means I have to do a lot in this subject, especially being a Greek person with a lot of differences in our speech intonation.
Ever thankful to all of you
Nikos
It's because the idea is that There's a chance we'll get a pay rise. The sentence includes will (we'll get a pay rise), but the phrase There's a chance modifies it. It means that it's possible, but is not certain, and might and could have that meaning.
So, because of the phrase ( There's a chance ) , the answer is might and could. Right? Oh, Thank you very much for explaining me. Thank you very much Jonathan R!
I'm afraid the Language Focus videos don't have transcripts. You can ask us about short, specific segments if you'd like to. Please be sure to include the time codes (e.g. 1:45-1:51) if so.
In this task, the letter 'o' represents an unstressed syllable and 'O' represents a stressed syllable. So, for example, in the word 'tiny', the first syllable ('ti') is emphasised more than the second one ('ny'), so it goes in the 'Oo' group.
Does that make more sense now?
Remember that after you try a couple of words, you can press 'Finish' and then 'Show Answers' to see the answers if you find it very difficult.

Hello Aung Ko Latt,
In this task, the letter 'o' represents an unstressed syllable and 'O' represents a stressed syllable. So, for example, in the word 'tiny', the first syllable ('ti') is emphasised more than the second one ('ny'), so it goes in the 'Oo' group.
