Stressing syllables and words
Word stress
In the English language, all words of more than one syllable have what is called word stress. This means at least one of the syllables is longer and louder than the other syllables ,You should learn word stress as you learn new vocabulary.

41. 2. Sentence stress
Sentence stress is like word stress and is what gives English its rhythm. When we are speaking, we stress certain key words in a sentence. For example , in the sentence ‘I went to the shop to buy apples’, we stress the words ‘shop’ and ‘apples’ as these are the most important information. We do not usually stress the grammar elements of a sentence.

Hello from London! I have just been to the Tower of London and I want to tell you all about it.______________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

54. Possible example
25 Sept.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Hello from London! I have just come back from the Tower of London and I want to tell you all about it. The Tower of London has a long and interesting history. The Tower is not just one tower, but a whole complex of buildings. the Tower was built in 1066 by the Norman Duke William who conquered England. He originally built it as a palace to protect himself. However, much to my surprise, it was used as a prison later on. I read about one of the sad stories. It says Anne Boleyn

55. was killed by her husband, King Henry VIII, in the Tower because she had failed to give birth to a son. In my opinion, the most popular part of the Tower for visitors is the Jewel House, where I saw the priceless crown jewels. At first, I thought they were just imitations but I was wrong, my tour guide also told me a really interesting story about the jewels. He said a man called Thomas Blood tried to steal the jewels in 1671, but was caught as soon as he got outside. So we were lucky enough to have a chance to see the jewels of great value. I hope you can come and see them one day.
Love,
(your own name)

56. Thank you!
