Pronunciation

In English our sentences have rhythm and lilt and tone. We speak loudly if we are enthusiastic, or angry. Each sentence has a rhythm. Two syllable words usually emphasise the first syllable. Good MORning. Paris. The French emphasise the second syllable. ParEE.
   The most common rhythms for sentences either iambic or trochee.  I am. Listen for a short word, then a long word.
    Trochee. it rhymes with HOCK - key. (I tried spelling the word in one go but predictive text insists on two words!) Stamping, hit the ball with the first syllable, is followed by a lighter second syllable.
    In English ending with your voice rising implies a question, uncertainty on the part of the speaker, and sometimes another sentence to follow. The technical term for this is up talking.
    Be careful when ending a speech with a question, or rising tone. The audience might fail to clap, waiting to see what you will say next in answer to your question.
   If you speak too fast you are likely to muddle up words or string them together. 

Punctuation in Presentations

   A presenter who spoke English as a second language had carefully researched English grammar for his/her* presentation on good grammar. The first error I noticed was the headline was wrong. His/her spelling was wrong. Grammar, when spelled correctly, has the letter 'a' twice.
     Each slide had a major error. As an expert in English, and English teacher, I was hailed as the expert to evaluate the evening. He/she had gone to such a lot of trouble, researching, then producing the slides.
Capital Letters
   Capital letters can be used for every word in a heading or sub-heading. In German nouns have capital letters. In English we restrict capital to names. On rare occasions a word can be both a name and a generic term. In that case you use the capital only when the word is used as a name. For example, 'When I saw my mother, I asked, "May I have an apple, Mother?" '
Full stops
    Full stops are used to indicate when the reader can stop for breath. A page with no full stops, just a series of sentences with commas between them, looks daunting. The unbroken text is exhausting to read aloud or silently.
    The listener would be totally confused.
    Full stops usually separate two sentences, expressing two separate ideas. Commas are used for a briefer pause, before a small phrase which expands or modifies the noun which the extra words qualify.
    I say his/her because this has happened more than once. I also don't want to create the embarrassment of somebody thinking, 'that must be me' or 'that must be him/her'.

I later frowned at a slide which contained the word yours's. Should I tell the speaker, if I were not the Language Evaluator. 

I previously saw a slide with a mistake by a German. I hesitated. Eventually I wrote him anote praising his great presentation. As an afterthough I mentioned how he had only one error in a long presentation, when others have two or three errors in only one sentence. I was very relieved when he wrote back a charming note thanking me for my help in pointing out his error so that with my help he could be one hundred percent perfect.
