★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★

In this video we are going to look at word stress and sentence stress through the famous song ‘My Favourite Things’ from the 1965 musical film ‘The Sound of Music’. The song works so well because it has been written using triple time like a waltz: it follows the pattern: one-two-three-one-two-three. Throughout the lyrics, all strong syllables fall on the ‘one’ while weak syllables fall on the ‘two‘ or ‘three‘. We are going to have a look at one verse of this song and then you are encouraged to write your own verse telling us about your favourite things.
