Listening: Listening for Inference, Attitude, & Opinion B1 - Lesson 2: Identifying Speaker's Basic Attitude (e.g., interested, bored, annoyed) from Tone of Voice

B1 Listening: Attitude & Tone
B1 ATTITUDE
Understanding Tone
ការយល់ដឹងពីទឹកដមសំឡេង
🎯 Scenario: Weekend Plans.
Lisa: Suggesting activities.
Tom: Reacting to them.
Lisa "Hey! There is a new pizza place downtown. Do you want to go?" High Pitch
Tom "Oh. Pizza again? I guess we can go." Flat / Slow
Tom "Really, Lisa? I told you yesterday I am on a diet!" Sharp / Loud

Listen to "That's great." How does he feel?

😄 Happy
😒 Bored / Sarcastic
😠 Angry

The Rules of Tone:

🚀 Interested / Happy Voice goes UP. Speed is FAST.
Example: "Wow! Really?"
🐢 Bored / Uninterested Voice is FLAT (Monotone). Speed is SLOW.
Example: "Oh. Okay."
⚡ Annoyed / Angry Voice is LOUD and SHARP.
Example: "I told you NO!"

Task: Choose the Best Reply

Tom said: "Oh. Pizza again?" (Bored Tone).
What should Lisa say?

"Great! Let's go right now!"
"You sound bored. Do you want to eat something else?"
"Thank you for being so excited!"
