Exercise 2-16: liaison staircases
You are going to make staircases again from the paragraph below——pretty much as you did in exercise 1-17 on page 16. This time, instead of putting a whole word on each stairstep, puy a single sound on each step. This is also similar to the second part of the 'Dogs eat bones' exercise1-38 on page 36. Use the liaison techniques you have just learned to connect the words; then regroup them and place one sound unit on a step. As before, start a new staircase every time you stress a word. Remember , new sentences don't have to start new staircases. A staircase can continue from one sentence to another until you come to a stressed word. Pause the CD.
