Rori: Dude, I’m a student. What do you expect?!
Sam: Fair enough.
 Question Intonation
When we speak, our intonation is ALWAYS going up and done, but
when we ask questions, when does it go up and down???

Do you like kimchi?

YES/NO questions = intonation goes up at the end.
What is your favourite food?
Other questions = intonation goes down at the end.
