In linguistics, intonation is variation of spoken pitch that is not used to distinguish words, instead it is used for a range of functions such as indicating the attitudes and emotions of the speaker, signalling the difference between statements and questions, and between different types of question, focusing attention on important elements of the spoken message and also helping to regulate conversational interaction. It contrasts with tone, in which pitch variation in some languages does distinguish words, either lexically or grammatically. Although intonation is primarily a matter of pitch variation, it is important to be aware that functions attributed to intonation such as the expression of attitudes and emotions, or highlighting aspects of grammatical structure, almost always involve concomitant variation in other prosodic features.

I think I ↓looked it a way in the ↑cellar.
We use this style in everyday communication between our friends relatives etc. It is unpredictable. Here we can find a lot of errors, slips, hesitation etc. To exhibit such kind of sentences we need normal loudness, varied speed, irregular rhythm, falling or rising tones. This intonation groups are rather short separated by pauses.
CONCLUSION
English is generally regarded as having a complex intonation system. English, of course , is not a tone language and so intonational categories can flourish without competition for the resource of pitch variation. but even non- tone languages English seems to rely rather heavily on intonation for signaling. Intonation styles help to produce your speech more clearly and more obvious. Perhaps the best way to look at the subject is to see intonation as an essential component of the discourse structure of speech. We speak in order to communicate, and we need to interact with our listeners to do this. We must indicate what type of information is presented and how it is structured, and at the same time we must keep our listeners' attention and their participation in the exchange of information. We think that intonation style is a complex of interrelated intonational means which is used in a social situation and serves a definite aim of communication.
