Tonical syllables are those that have greater sound intensity. In this case, these syllables are spoken more strongly, have a louder and lower sound and are longer than non-stressed syllables.
To find the stressed syllables in a text, you must read the text aloud and more slowly, to be able to clearly identify the moment when you pronounce some syllables more strongly. When you do this with the text presented in the question above, you will see that there are a couple of stressed syllables in "theirs, make."
