stressed words. why?

[srkfan]

Hi Everyone

I only joined this forum today, hence the late rely! Please can someone explain WHY RonBee chose the particular words to be stressed in each sentence? I do understand that stressing different words in a sentence is dependent on the context and the information the speaker wishes to convey (as pointed out by Q.E.D), however if as RonBee, we had to choose only one or two words to stress, then please can someone provide an explanation as to WHY those words are stressed rather than others? I'm a bit confused

As Mike pointed out, those were what could be called the default settings. It was not really a choice. Depending on context, other stresses are certainly possible.
