1. Hacker is a person who secretly finds a way of looking at or changing information on sb. else’s computer without permission.
2. Wireless fidelity, that is, Wi-Fi, is widely used.
3. You can use browsers to look up information, for example, 360 Brower.
Most sentences have two basic types of words: content words and function words. Content words are usually stressed.
Pronunciation
Why are content words stressed but function words not
Content words give us the contents of our story and tell our listener where to focus his or her attention. We want our listener to be able to quickly grasp the main content of our story, so we make the content words easier to hear by bringing attention to them with added stress.
Since function words don’t give us the main information, we don’t usually need to do anything to give them added attention and the words remain unstressed.
