New responsibilities and heavy workloads

2:32

i've

2:32

been flat out ever since

2:35

i've even started giving weekly

2:37

presentations to the board

2:39

but my workload is just getting a bit

2:41

out of hand

2:42

i did yesterday's presentation

2:45

completely off the cuff

2:48

but go back six months and it was a very

2:52

different story i was seriously

2:54

considering jumping ship

2:56

really almost half the team had lost

2:59

their jobs

3:01

luckily we've since got a new general

3:03

manager on board and i think i told you

3:06

about her didn't i

3:08

she's been doing an amazing job so far

3:12

runs a very tight ship but i guess

3:14

that's how she turned things around

3:17

anyway it hasn't all been smooth sailing

3:20

but things are finally getting back on

3:22

track

3:23

how are things with you

3:26

did you notice that the words looked a

3:28

little different on screen

3:30

the bold words are stressed words

3:34

and the underlined vowels

3:36

are stressed syllables in each word

3:40

these words and syllables sound stronger

3:42

and clearer while the others reduce and

3:45

become weaker
