Pronunciation(语音练习)

Pronunciation


Step I  Pronunciation Practice


A.  Listen and repeat the following words.

B. Please focus on the stressed syllable changes in these words.

Ask students to do pair works: 

Student A reads the words in the left column and Students B reads those on the right. Then switch roles.

C. Underline the words which the speakers stress.

Stressing different words in English can often give a different meaning, emphasis or attitude to the content.

D. Stress the words correctly, notice the speaker's voice rises.

Rising intonation in unfinished sentences. Our voices usually fall at the end of sentences, although not always at the end of questions. In longer or complex sentences, our voices rise at the end of the first part of the sentence to show the sentence is unfinished.

E. Notice the speaker's pause.

Sense groups

When you hear people speaking English, they pause after each sense group. It may not be a long pause, but it’s just enough to mark the end of one sense group and the start of the next one. If you can pause after sense groups, you’ll sound more fluent.

 Originally / the Ivy League / referred to the sports teams / from the universities / which competed / against each other, / especially / in football, / basketball / and ice hockey. 

 But / in the last 50 years, / Ivy League schools / have accepted / a wider range of students / because / it wasn’t possible / to be / both world-famous / for research / and also / top class / in sport.

 But / I suppose / worldwide, / the two / that would / be definitely known / all over the world /would certainly be / George Bush / who went to Yale, / and John F Kennedy, / President Kennedy, / who / was at Harvard.

Step II  Funny game (Tongue Twister)

She sells sea shells by the sea shore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
