Pronunciation Tips 1.I've studied: Linking.

The first “that” is used to bring out a clause, while the second “that” is used to indicate things, like, that child, that movie. While in oral speaking, we have to rely on the different sounds to separate two words that look the same while serving different functions. If you say these words in the same way, that'll make listeners confused. So what we usually do is to make the intonation of the second “that” higher than the first one, and you can also pause a little bit before saying the second “that.” Similar structure: “I know that that is a rare chance, but that’s just not what I want to pursue.” 3.Imperative: /ɪmˈper.ə.t̬ɪv/ im-pe-ra-tive (1) Stress is in the second part.

Maybe we should know how to prioritize what really matters and stop promoting such a plausible idea.
