Hi, I've got a question. When should the intonation go up and down when speaking normally?

[Ahmed-Iraq]

Can I get a repot about tone and tone unit contains 5 pages at least.

Thanks Sian and Dan! I have a question. I checked the notes in the web site saying that "lists generally go down except for the last item, which is rising", however, what I saw in the video is just opposite. Is it the typo ? Thanks a lot!
