    Default The intonation of News Reporter is so weird to me

    Hi Everybody,

    What do you think the English Intonation of news reporter "Dennis Ho" in YouTube? I think it's so weird to me and compared to other news reporters, I think his English Intonation is quite different, I don't know if native speakers would have same thinking as me.


    From 0:17 to 3:08

    It's awful. But perhaps Hong Kong viewers are used to it?
    Specifically, yes, his intonation is not typically English, even for news reporters, who do tend to have a somewhat artificial style. It's just as likely that he's having trouble with news-reading style rather than with his general English.
