Stress-4

1) ” I want to remind all of you,’ John said ‘that I am a writer too.”

In the above sentence all is an adjective and remind is a verb. So which one do you think should be stressed? Again in the next part writer is a noun and too is an adverb. So which one to stress? 

2) “I know a lot of you expected me to resign as head of RKO when they forced me to fire one of my writers.”

In the above sentence should there be a pause before the adverb ‘when’ or after it? Also if I want to read aloud the acronym RKO, should the pronunciation of the last letter sound like the dipthong ‘o’ as in the words home,own,blow etc?

What about if the letter O is in the middle of R and K? I mean to say will the letter O still be pronounced as a dipthong or not? Please advise?

“I called up Anne Frank in New york this morning!”

I know that the last name of a person and a city are stressed. So Frank and York will be stressed. But what I wanna know here is that, for the phrasal verb ‘call up’; will the verb ‘call’ or the preposition ‘up’ be stressed? And lastly about the phrase ‘this morning’ I’m a bit confused because I’ve heard that only content words are stressed. Morning is a content word and “this” is not. It’s just a pronoun. So you have to tell me whether I should stress ‘this’ or ‘morning’?

Could you please advise?

Best regards,
