English: A Stress-Timed Language – American Pronunciation

ESL: English is a Stress-Timed language. That means you need contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables — unstressed words may reduce, and will be low in pitch and flatter in shape. In other words, you DON’T pronounce every word fully and clearly!!See the transcript for this video: http://www.RachelsEnglish.com/stress_timedImprove your American Accent / spoken English at Rachel’s English with video-based lessons and exercises.Cải thiện nói tiếng Anh Mỹ / 미국 영어 발음 향상 / 話されているアメリカ英語を向上させる / Сделай свой разговорный американский английский лучше / Meningkatkan berbicara bahasa Inggris Amerika / Melhorar a fala Inglês Americano / Mejorar el habla Inglés Americano / 美語 / बात अमेरिकी अंग्रेजी में सुधार / تحسين لهجتك الأمريكية الإنجليزية / שפר את המבטא האמריקאי שלך…with Rachel’s English!subscribe: http://www.YouTube.com/subscription_center?add_user=RachelsEnglish website: http://www.RachelsEnglish.com

Panic Room is a 2002 American thriller film

Panic Room is a 2002 American thriller film directed by David Fincher. The film stars Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart as a mother and daughter whose new home is invaded by burglars, played by Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, and Dwight Yoakam. The script was written by David Koepp. Koepp’s screenplay was inspired by news coverage in 2000 about panic rooms. The film was Fincher’s fifth feature film, following Fight Club (1999). Fincher and Koepp brought together a crew of people with whom each had worked before. The house and its panic room were built on a Raleigh Studios lot. Nicole Kidman was originally cast as the mother, but she left after aggravating a previous injury. Her departure threatened the completion of the film, but Foster quickly replaced Kidman. The filmmakers used computer-generated imagery to create the illusion of the film camera moving through the house’s rooms. Foster became pregnant during the shooting schedule, so filming was suspended until after she gave birth. The film’s production cost $48 million. The film was commercially released in the United States and Canada on March 29, 2002. The film grossed $30 million on its opening weekend. In the United States and Canada, it grossed $96.4 million. In other territories, it grossed $100 million for a worldwide total of $196.4 million. Critics generally praised the film. Panic Room has been assessed for its portrayal of childhood and feminism, the elements of video surveillance and diabetes, and its thematic approach to mortality.see more at WikipediaCheck More at https://htm101.com/track.php?c=cmlkPTc3NDM2MCZhaWQ9NjIyNTgxODI
