Notice that a falling intonation is used to show the end of a response, a thought, or an idea. In some of the responses I was sent, the
speaker ended their response with a rising tone, which can cause confusion for the listener, who is waiting to hear the rest of your idea.
Listen back to your Part 1 responses and Part 3 responses to see if this is a problem for you.

KEY IDEA: High level speakers vary their use of intonation and use it effectively to
help clearly communicate their ideas. Overuse of a rising tone can make the listener
think you are unsure, even when you are stating a fact (My name is Pauline?) or that
you have not finished speaking, causing the examiner to wait for you to add more. Any
confusion felt by the examiner will be reflected in your score.
