It is said ‘Practice makes perfect’. It is good you
know all the theory behind putting tone marks on words, but it is more
profitable if you can actually put it correctly.
This practice book as
been designed to make you better at putting tone marks on words through
consistent practice. The book as been divided into sections to take you through
a 31-day practice routine.
In Using the book, note
that:
1.
Consistency
is very key: Try you best to use it daily.
I understand that keeping up with daily practice is not always possible, but
make it as regular as possible. Five days in a week is okay.
2.
As
explained under Tones and Tone Marks, divide the word into syllables, hum it
one syllable after the other and place the correct tone mark on it.
3.
Cross
check your answer: The correct answers are given in the box below each section.
4.
Score
yourself.
5.
If
it seems difficult don’t be discouraged. You can start by checking the answers,
humming it to see how we arrived at that.
6.
With
consistent practice, I’m definite you will turn out a master at it.
We will briefly
practice how to break words into syllable, before moving to tone mark
placement. The process of breaking words into syllable has been explained under
