But someday I hope to be as calm as you are. bsmdy(i)htbe(a)scm(a)s(y)a
F: As calm as I am? ascm(a)siam
Oh, Jack, I'm not as calm as a lot of people. ojk imnt(a)scm(a)s(a)lt(o)fpp

M: True. t
N: Now, do you remember the difference between the question word whose, ndyrmbtdfrtbttqstwdws
spelled w-h-o-s-e, and the question word who s, spd whose ad(t)qstwd ws
spelled w-h-o apostrophe s? spd who apstfas
They both have the same tbthvtsm
pronunciation, whose - who s, pncat ws ws
but the spelling is different. btsplisdft
Also, w-h-o-s-e is used in front of a noun, as whoseisusdifrtofn
like whose book or whose initials. lk wsbk o wsints
W-h-o apostrophe s means "who is." Who s the boss? whoaps ms wis wstbs
Means "Who is the boss?" mswistbs
Now you're going to hear some sentences which start with either w-h-o-s-e or w-h-o apostrophe s. nyrgithsmstcswcstwtetwhose owho apstps
after each question, aftecqst
spell the question word. spl(t)qstwd
Then you will hear the correct spelling. tn(y)whr(t)crtpl
For example, fr(e0xap
you hear, "Who's the reporter in 'Murder at Midnight'?" yh wstrptimddamnt
And you say: adys
F: W-h-o apostrophe s. who apstps
N: Then you will hear the correct spelling: tn(y)whr(t)crtpl
F: W-h-o apostrophe s. who aps tp s
N: Ready? Let's begin. rd ltbg
Who's the reporter in "Murder at Midnight"? wstrptimdamnt
F: W-h-o apostrophe s. who apstp s
N: Whose baby is six months old? wsbbissxmts(o)d
F: W-h-o-s-e. whose

F: W-h-o-s-e. whose
N: Who's the star of "Murder at Midnight"? wststofmdamnt
F: W-h-o apostrophe s. who apstp s
N: Who's going to Stamford tomorrow? wsgitstftmr
F: W-h-o apostrophe s. who apstp s
N: Whose hair is very short? wshisvrst
F: W-h-o-s-e. whose

your voice goes down at the end? yvicgsdn(a)t(e)e(e)d
This is called "falling intonation." tsscd flitnt
For example, fr(e)xap
at the end of a statement: at(e)e(e)d(o)f(a)stmt
M: Maybe he went home. mbhwhm
N: or at the end of a question that you can't answer with only "Yes" or "No": at(e)e(e)d(o)f(a)qsttt(y)ctaswtolyson
F: Whose is it? ws(i)s(i)t
N: But when you can answer a question with "Yes" or "No,"bwn(y)casr(a)qstwtyson
the voice goes up at the end. tvicgsuat(e)e(e)d
This is called "rising intonation." tsscdrsitnt
For example: fr(e)xap
M: Is anyone here? is(a)noh
N: Listen and repeat the following sentences. lsarptflistcs
Imitate the voice you hear. imttvic(y)h
If it goes up at the end, if(i)gsupat(e)e(e)d
make your voice go up. mkyvicgo(u)p
If the voice you hear goes down, if(tvic(y)hgsd)
make your voice go down. mkyvicgd
