INTONATION & INTERPRETATION

When we speak, we speak with different intonations. We do not speak the same way when we are angry, when we are casual, when we are secretly sharing info, when we express surprise, when express caution, when we inform, when we warn etc.

 Let's see how we can express the below sentence, giving different meanings:
 Raj, the door is open! 
 Raj, the door is open. (information. You may come in.)
 Raj, the door is open! (surprise. It was to be closed.)
 Raj, the door is open! (shock. Some thieves must have broken in!)
 Raj, the door is open. (warning. Don't stand near the door, you may fall off the train.)
 Raj, the door is open. (caution. The lady is telling her husband or boyfriend, while he was making an advance. It means, "Close the door, and carry on!''
 Raj, the door is open. (statement. You are welcome to discuss.)
 Raj, the door is open. (You may leave.)
 If you practice how to say them with different intonations, you can become a good artist.
 Say these sentences aloud with different intonations at least 3 times and interpret the meaning for yourself.
