热舌训练

Fat Pat

Pat was so fat that she made a bet with Lenny the vet. She bet him that she could get a fat

cat and a wet rat under her hat. Unfortunately, the fat cat was not Fat Pat's pet, and it sat on

the rat. The rat naturally ran away. Poor Fat Pat. She lost her bet.



对话训练

SITUATION

Two friends give each other advice on their pets.

Terry: Allison, what can I do? My pet rabbit likes to nap on the

door mat.

Allison: Well, Terry, why does the rabbit like the mat?

Terry: I think it's because the rabbit has a habit of napping

in warm places.

Allison: That's easy. Place a plastic map there.

Terry: Good idea, Allison.

Allison: My problem, Terry, is with my dog, Lassie. He likes to

leave home.

Terry: That's really bad. He could have an accident.

Allison: I know! Last January, he ran away to Saskatchewan!

Terry: Saskatchewan?! That's where Ariadne lives. Give Lassie to her.

Allison: Excellent suggestion, Terry!

做几何体的时候寻常人都会动手去画图加辅助线之类去分析, 如果自身没有空间想象能力的话, 凭空想象对于一般思维能力的人们是有挑战性的

同样的道理, 语音课的难度在于大家有夹杂着来自五湖四海的口音然后正确的发音方式只有一种. 所以希望各位不要非要拿着小本子小凳子坐在台灯下才觉得有时间学习这些, 动手抄写下来那些用来对比的单词then than 等等, 时不时地对自己"念叨"一下找找舌头的感觉. 还记得英音起家的自己第一次尝试把朗文初中磁带中的good morning, boys and girls的girls读得美式一些曾经用勺子抵住舌头根部试图发出这些事情(注:不良极端示范,请无经验者莫在家中示范.) 正确的标准的语音給你带来的出了自我享受之外还有自信, 但得来的过程需要自己的玩味琢磨反复推敲.

对于大多数自学的大家来说,推荐Iowa大学的一段经典的音标学习flash,(可能有视频,大家可以去搜索). 原文网站于此: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html

练习完今天的内容后, 最好尝试回到之前的对话课的课文中去, 标记出包含今天学的两个音标的单词, 录下自己的发音, 看看是否准确

以上.

Aoi

GOOD!
