Which words are you going to stress in a sentence like this

I'm going to try to leave my work early today to go to the party.

And if you are going to stress more than one content words, specially the ones in a row, can you please be specific..like are you going to stress all of them equally or what.

If possible, please record yourself saying it. Sorry if I'm asking for a lot.

Thanks.

Thanks Mister, but I does that mean that you stressed those marked words equally? And is there a difference in pronunciation between ' and "?

' is secondary stress
'' is primary stress

Word and sentence stress are graded and relative to surrounding tones.

Primary stress is more emphatic than secondary stress. Tertiary stress is also possible if one wishes to take the time to pursue it. I don't.
