I dont know how to pronounce this word? would you like to tell me how to read this word？“ or “Can you tell me how to pronounce this word.“否则， 考生会因为单词发 音错误 ，而被扣分。 要注意使用眼睛和手势的使用。在老师提 问的时候， 考生要注视着对方，用眼睛与 老师交流(eye contact)，表示你在认真听老 师的提问。在回答问题时，考生在用英语 说的同时借助手势表达出你想表达的思想 。 还要用眼睛不时地注视每一位主考老师 。千万不要低头自语或者只顾回答自己的 问题，无视老师的存在。 以上讲的是知识方面的准备。考生考前也应作 一些心理准备。根据以往经验，有些考生由于 过分紧张，以至于本来自己很熟悉的问题都回 答的一塌糊涂。所以，考试中最重要的还是要 保持良好的心态，避免紧张情绪。主考老师不 外乎要问一些大家都熟知的问题，只要平常学 习中，熟记了一些句型，就完全能够应付自如 。对自己要有信心，入考场前，叮嘱自己一定 能行，调整自己的紧张情绪，这样才能不会紧 张，考出好成绩。 Oral English Course No.177 Middle School February 2012 众所周知,语言的主要目的是传达思想，当思想 需要口语来传达时，发音的规范性便开始左右传 达的效率了。因此学好英语，正确的语音、语调 至关重要。它就像一个门面，装点着每个英语学 习者的语言形象。写得一手好字，人人都会对你 有好感；说一口流利而标准的英文，既便你的英 语整体水平不高，人家也会认为你英语学得不错 而对你另眼相看.不仅如此,语音还和单词的拼写 、词义的理解、思想的表达、甚至语法都有紧密 的关系。因此，学英语的人都应该注重英语语音 、语调，一定要过好语音这一关。 1）语音、语调问题。学习英语时随时都要注 意正确的语音语调。杜绝那种在专门练习时 才注意正确的发音和语调，平时却漠然置之 的做法。否则，难以从根本上提高语音语调 水平。 2）练习量的问题。每天练习的时间量因人而 异。每次练习2030分钟就行了。如果有时 间练习，当然是多多益善。练习的材料不要 贪多，要反复模仿，做到准确，流畅，轻松 自如。 3）矫正问题。我国方言众多，学生大都带有 不同程度的乡音。这是学习英语需首先克服 的问题。讲英语切忌带乡音，否则就会造成 发音不准或是让人感到刺耳。因此，矫正发 音就成了必不可少的一步 4）洋味问题。学习英语语音、语调当然要尽 可能地学到洋腔洋味，但不可以拿腔拿调， 忸怩作态，要自然轻松。 5) 英、美音问题。自17世纪以来，英语在大西洋两岸 的英国和美国各自朝着自己的方向发展，在词汇、语 法和发音上出现了分歧，尤以发音最为突出。 例如:一位英国人和一位美国人在某火车站不期而遇 ，美国人性格开朗，善于结交朋友，说了几句客套 话后就问:“Whats your job?”英国人回答说:“Im a clerk.”美国人听了惊讶万分:“Clock? Your job is to tick，tick all day long?”对于英、美发音差别稍有了解 的人都知道，这个误会是由于两国发音不同而引起 的。 当然，这只是一则笑话，但足以提醒同学们注意英 、美发音上的差别，尽量避免闹出笑话。至于究竟 练美音好，还是练英音好，其实并不重要。能够坚 持练好一种音固然不错，但了解不同的发音习惯也 很重要。 6）英、美语语调问题。语调是连贯言语里音调 变化所造成的旋律模式，它是语言的灵魂。说话 者可使用各种语调向听者表明话语的意思和他的 态度、感情和情绪，或表达某种“言外之意”。 英式英语和美式英语中，降调使用于陈述句、命 令句或特殊疑问句，升调用于其他类型的问句、 婉转客气的请求句式等。降调一般显得更有权威 性，有“肯定”和“无可争议”等意思，而升调则传 达了婉转、缓和以及有商量余地的含义。然而， 美国人说话时的音域相对较窄，而英国人的音域 却很宽。为此，许多人认为，较之于平淡的美国 英语语调，英国英语语调更富音乐感，更富情感 色彩，让人觉得悦耳动听。 平翘舌不分：如this读成Dis, orange读成oranZe。这 种现象通常发生在我国北方地区，以沈阳为典型， 抚顺也是一样。 清辅音浊化并拉长：如Stop读成Stoper，如I think I have come to the point that 。 t 与 d 加u音：如China读成Chuainer。Change 读成Chuenj，典型特点是嘴撅得老高。 r与l；南方有些地域的人发不出r音，所以把r 都读成l，如three就变成了thlui； 双元音发音不到位，不饱满：典型的就是I ai 读成 e, time读成tem。Train读成tri:n.这种现象北京人 居多。 一、长元音和双元音饱满。这是悦耳英文的秘诀。 1.inside my mouth 在我的嘴里 2. Mike likes to write by the nice bright light at night. 麦克喜欢在夜晚明亮的灯光旁写作。八次疯 狂张嘴，元音极其饱满！ 3. Macao came back to China in 1999. 澳门于1999年回归祖国。 4. I like the shape of that mountain. 我喜欢那座山的样子。 包含四个容易混淆的元音：形容山水最恰当！ 二、短元音急促有力.这是干净利落的发音。你 只要一收腹就可以精确地发出短元音。 * 1.Couldnt be better. 再好不过了。 2.It took me a month to get rid of my cough. 我用了一个月的时间才使咳嗽痊愈。 3. Jim must study a little bit more. 杰姆必须再多一下一点功夫。 4. Lets get together again. 让我们找一天再聚一聚。 三.连音.这是真正的地道英文境界-含糊。 1.I dont-know what-to do. 【两个辅音连接，只读后一个！】 2. Im working on-it. 我正在努力。美国总统 常用 3. Ill think-it-over. 我会仔细考虑的。 四、略音 第一条规则 ：以某音结尾的单词 +同音开始的单词 -只发一次即可！ 1. You ate-too much. 你吃得太多了。 2. I dont know what-to-do. 我不知道该做些什么。两个辅音连接，只读后一 个 第二条规则 ：以t，d，k，g， p和b+以辅音开始的单词 ，前面的发音“点 到为止”，舌头达到发音中位，但不送气！ 1. Lend-me your black-bag. 把你的黑包借给我。 2. I dont-like-people asking me for money. 我不喜欢别 人问我要钱。 3. Do you want-that-magazine? 你要那本杂志吗？ 4. Do you need-that-pencil? 你需要那只铅笔吗？ 5. Ask-Bob-to sit-behind-me.让鲍 勃坐在我后面。 6. Would you mind-giving me that-red-book? 你把那本红皮书给 我，好吗？ 五、咬舌头 . 这是英语独特的魅力。 1. There are thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three feathers羽毛on that birds throat. 在那个鸟的颈部有三万三前三百三是三根羽毛。 2. Neither father nor mother likes this weather. 爸爸妈妈 都不喜欢这 天气。咬五次舌头 3. Its the same thing. 都一样！ 4. Something is better than nothing. 有总比没有好！ 5. Father and mother went through thick and thin. 不管是顺境还是逆境，父母总是同甘共苦。同甘 苦，共患难 在连贯地说话或朗读时,在同一个意群(即短语 或从句)中,如果相邻的两个词, 前者以辅音音素 结尾,后者以元音音素开头,就要自然地将辅音 和元音相拼,构成一个音节,这就是连读。如 :not at all这个短语。 Please take a look at it 在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音 出现,也不可连读 There is a book in it.一句中book与in往往不连读, 因为book与in分别在两个不同的意群中。 (1)“辅音+元音”型连读 ImanEnglish boy. Itisanold book. Let me havea lookatit. Ms Black worked inanoffice lastyesterday. I calledyou halfanhourago. Putiton, please. Notatall. Please pickitup. (2)“r/re+元音”型连读 Theyre my fatherand mother. I looked forit hereand there. Thereis a football underit. Thereare some books on the desk. Hereis a letter for you. Hereare foureggs. But whereis my cup? Whereare your brotherand sister? (3)“辅音+半元音”型连读 Thankyou. Nice to meetyou. Didyou get there lateagain? Wouldyou likea cupof tea？ Couldyou help me, please? (4)“音的同化” 常把/d/+/j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/， would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。 (5)“元音+元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾， 后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不 间断地连读到一起。 Iam Chinese. Heis very friendly to me. She wants to studyEnglish. Howand why did you come here? She cant carryit. Itll take you threehours to walk there. The question is tooeasy for him to answer. (5)当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时 ，意群与 意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不 可连读 。 Isit ahat or a cat?（hat与or之间不可以连读 Thereisa good book in my desk. （book与in之间不 可以连读 ） Can you speakEnglish or French? （English与or之间 不可以连读 ） Shall we meet ateight or ten tomorrow morning? （ meet与 at，eight与or之间不可以连读 ） She opened the door and walkedin. （door与and之间 不可以连读 ） 失去爆破6个爆破音有3对/p/，/b/，/t/，/d/，/k/，/g/ 失去爆破，又叫不完全爆破，是在某些情况下，只须做 出发音的准备，并不发音，稍稍停顿后就发后面的音 。 (1)“爆破音+爆破音”型 The girl in the re(d) coat was on a bla(ck) bike jus(t) now. The bi(g) bus from the fa(c) tory is full of people. Wha(t) time does he get up every morning? This is an ol(d) pi(c)ture of a bi(g) car. The ol(d) do(c)tor has a ca(t), too.

I bought a chea(p) book, but its a goo(d) book. (2)“爆破音+摩擦音”型如果前面是爆破音，其后紧 跟着某些摩擦音（如/f/，/s/，/W/，/T/等），那么 前面那个爆破音仅有十分轻微的爆破，而后面那个 摩擦音则要完全爆破。 Goo(d) morning, Mr. Bell. Goo(d) morning, dear. Uncle Lis fa(c)tory is qui(te) near to the cinema. I wen(t) there alone a(t) nine las(t) night. -Do you know his bi(ke) number? -Sorry, I don(t) know. The forty-firs(t) lesson is qui(te) difficult. Goo(d) luck, Lin Tao. （1）升调:升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思 ，比如 一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式 表示疑问的各类句子。如: a）Shall I tell him to come and see you? （一般疑问句的正常语调） b）You.like him?（用于陈述句形式的疑问句中，期待 得到对方证实） c）.What have you got there? （用于特殊疑问句中，语气 亲切热情） d）.

My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didnt want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone. *A few days later, the president called me into his office. I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many problems we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eyes and said, “ I hear your mother is very ill” I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside, and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: “whatever you need.” * That was it. His understanding and his willingness to both let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of compassion that I carry with me to this day. 1 What kind of job did the writer have? 2 what was wrong with the writers mother? 3 why did the president of the company call the writer into his office? 4 how did the writer feel about the presidents words? 5 what qualities of the president deeply touched the writer? *When was the most stressed time in your life?

One day the mule fell into the farmers well. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and asked them to help shovel dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his suffering.* At first the mule was very frightened! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. He found that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, he could shave it off and step up! This he did, blow after blow, “Shake it off and step up - - shake it off and step up - shake it off and step up!” he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how upsetting the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up! It wasnt long before the old mule, extremely worn out, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like would bury him actually helped him - all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. what happened to the mule in the beginning of the story? what did the farmer decide to do? How did the mule feel at first? What did the mule do to save himself? 5 What happened in the end? And what lessons can we learn from the story? *Have you ever had any difficulties in your life?

He came up with the idea to catch a bird and hide it in his hands. He knew of course, the wise old man would know the object in his hands was a bird. His plan was to ask the old man if the bird was dead or alive. If the wise man said the bird was alive, the boy would crush the bird in his hands, so that when he opened his hands the bird would be dead; if the wise man said the bird was dead, the boy would open his hands and let the bird fly free. So no matter what the old man said, the boy would prove the old man wrong.* When the boy saw the wise old man entertaining people again, he quickly caught a bird and cupping it out of sight in his sight, walking up to the wise old man and asked, “Old man, what is it that I have in my hands?” The wise old man said, “You have a bird,” and he was right. The boy then asked, “Old man, tell me, is the bird alive or is it dead?” The wise old man looked at the boy and said, “the bird is as you choose it.” And so it is with your life. 1 what is one of the wise old mans special skills?” what did the young boy want to do with the wise old man? 3 How does he plan to prove the wise old man wrong?

Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?” Again Melissa pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad, just five minutes.” The man smiled and said, “OK” “My, you certainly are a patient father.” The woman responded.* The man smiled and then said, “her elder brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while riding his bike near here.
