Secret #2: SENTENCE STRESS

Sentence Stress is golden key number two for speaking
 and understanding English. With Sentence Stress, some
 *words* in a sentence are "stressed" (loud) and other
 words are weak (quiet). Look at the following sentence:

 We want to go.

 Do we say every word with the same stress or force? No!
 We make the important words *big* and the unimportant
 words small. What are the important words in this
 sentence? Yes, you're right: WANT and GO.

 We WANT to GO.

 We WANT to GO to WORK.

 We DON'T WANT to GO to WORK.

 We DON'T WANT to GO to WORK at NIGHT.

 It's impossible to explain everything about Sentence
 Stress in this email. The important thing for you is
 that you know it exists and try to learn about it.
 Sentence Stress is *very important*!
