以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献，需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见（1） 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.
英语中的连读断句弱读缩读 我们都有过这样沮丧的经验：很容易听懂中国人说的英语，但是同样的对话一到英美人的嘴里，便觉得很难跟上，有时甚至是不知所云。这主要是因为我们说的英语通常单词之间很清晰，词与词之间有明显的pause, 但是英美人的口语会有很多音变，这些音变使得我们很熟悉的单词的发音变得陌生，难懂，给我们的听力造成了很大的困难，因此了解并使用各音变规则会帮助我们提高听力，使我们的发音更加地道。 音变主要有连读、失音、弱化、浊化、同化、重音、缩读等形式。这些形式的产生可以归结为一个原则，即“Economy” —“经济”原则或称为“省力”原则。我的语言学老师说，他曾一度为选择的研究方向为语言学而懊悔，因为那时他认为语言学既枯燥又不实用，但这一省力原则却化解了他所有的苦恼，并让他为语言学着迷。因为“省力”这两个简单的字眼可以解释几乎所有的音变现象，人是很懒的,对于最经常的行为——说话，当然要想许多省事的法子，于是也就产生了多种为省力而衍变的音变现象。牢记省力原则，在我们读英语的时候，让自己的唇舌处于放松的状态，轻松的去读英语，我想发音的感觉一定会有所不同。 言归正题, 以下列出给听力造成很大障碍的五种音变现象及其读音规则，以及最后一项关于节奏的小文章，希望能有所帮助！ 一、连读 连读有两种规则，分别为： 1、以辅音结尾的单词+元音开头的单词：要连读如：I’d li(ke a)nother bow(l o)f rice. 这里like / laik / 以辅音结尾，another 以元音开头，所以连读 注意： 以辅音结尾指的是音标中的最后一个音是辅音，而不是单词的结尾，这如同 u[ju:.]niversity前面的定冠词必须用a 一样。 2、以辅音结尾的单词+ h开头的单词h不发音，与前面的辅音 what wil(l he) [wili]do? Ha(s he) done it before? Mus(t he) [ti] go? Can he do it? Should he….? Tell him to ask her…. Lea(ve him) [vim]. For him (连读这个词，会发现和forum 很相似) 我第一次知道这一连读规则时，兴奋不已，很容易的听懂了许多以前觉得很难以

1.如何塑造句子的丰富语调？ 从技术性上看，说话同唱歌，都是艺术学科的知识技巧，都由音阶、旋律、节奏、强弱等 变化构成。创造语调就是在作曲。从艺术性上看，说话同表演，都是艺术作品，用来表达 人的丰富思想、情感。按表演原理，教大家分析、演绎和表达艺术作品真实情感，从而自 然产生丰富语调技巧，而不是靠学生模仿老师的语调。过去学生只是羡慕老师、老外，却 模仿不上来。 2.为什么熟悉的单词却不能脱口而出？ 崔静 词汇量不少，用时却说不出口。原因是传统教学只教大家“翻译”英语，而没教大家解释 英语。如：good 什么意思，你的回答是“好”。因为大家已经习惯了翻译，首先想到汉语意思，每次都先在心里说中国话，出口时再翻译成英语。老外学英语时从没翻译成汉语。提醒你多练习，按表演原理，直接用情绪、情感、眼神、表情、动作、语气、声调等训练 大家迅速形成直接使用英语思维的习惯，忘记汉语，摆脱“翻译”的漫长、笨拙过程，才 能快速脱口而出。 3.为什么老外声音和我们不一样，模仿不上来？ 老外的声音为什么响亮、有底气，好像从口腔后面发出来的，或者像唱歌一样好听，或者 觉得怪怪的，学不上来？华侨孩子的语音为什么听起来是老外？其实去观察学过声乐、表演、台词、播音、戏曲等声音艺术的人，他们同样可以发出这种音质来说话。学会科学的 呼吸、发声习惯让我们终生受益，唱歌时音域加宽，唱出比以前更低和更高的音。说话 有底气，从而让别人听起来你是有信心、有能力的，而让自己形象更高大，同时更促进、增强了自信心。 4.为什么不敢说英语？ 事实上，除了英语水平、口语能力，阻碍我们与人交流的更重要原因是：在众人、陌生人 面前，不敢说话；心理素质差，性格内向，不会表达自己，当然更不敢说英语。受惯了“要谦虚，要尊敬家长、老师、领导”的教育，却从没人教我们如何建立自信，结果总觉 得自己比别人差，见着老外更感到在气质、气势、英语口语上低人一等，当然说话时就会 紧张。而紧张的心理、僵化、木讷的表情怎能顺畅地交流？要掌握自信的技巧，拥有健康的心理，建立平等、洒脱、高大的人格高度和气质
Friendship is absolutely crucial for us. We have to do hard work to build up and sustain friendship. Here are some important ways to keep friendship alive .First of all, let your friends know that you care about them. If you can't be there at the given moment, say something like, "I wish I could be with you. May I call you tomorrow " Be sure your friend knows she's cared about. Second, try to be with your friends when they are in trouble. Remember troubled people are most in need of their friends to stay around. The last but not the least, keeping friendship alive is to say to your friends "I miss you and I love you ". Remember it right for college students to have tattoos Nowadays many college students like to highlight their personalities, to be their own. They have taken special ways to show their personalities. For example, some college students who are tattooed think tattooing is cool and shows great personality. But teachers and parents do not think tattooing is right for students. They believe to be a student you should dress like a student--no tattoos, of cause. Some people even believe that those who are tattooed are not good students. As far as I am concerned, although many people can not accept students’tattooing, nothing is wrong with tattooing. College

英语节奏训练教程 Jazz chants 本教材是美国原版教材，国内很早就有引进，是上海外语音像出版社传播的《英语节奏训练教程》，是Jazz Chants教学法。 简单介绍一下：Jazz Chants 是一种通过节奏来表达语言的方法，它把有节奏的美式英语口语与美国传统的爵士乐节奏联系起来，是一种自然语言的再现。Jazz Chants所表现的不是一种夸大了的韵文效果，而更像节奏强烈的对话、诗歌。其节奏、重音、语调和我们平时听到美国人在生活中对话时的节奏、重音和语调是一模一样的。典型的Jazz Chants有以下特点： 1) 体现自然英语口语的节奏是Jazz Chants成功的关键。“Jazz Chants 的节拍揭示了美式英语和传统的美国爵士乐节奏的内在关联。”(Graham，1998)“Jazz Chants的节奏大大地帮助了记忆” (Hara,2003) ，强烈的节奏和富有趣味的对话让学生们轻而易举地就把一首 chant 记住了，再加上音乐、动作和角色扮演等其他辅助教学手段，教学效果就能事半功倍了。 2) Jazz Chants能激起学生的兴趣，让学生全身心的投入学习。学生随着chant 的节奏朗读、对话、吟唱、打节拍和做各种动作，因此可以说Jazz Chants 和音乐、歌曲一起让学生愉快的学习英语。在纽约大学教授二年级学生时，Graham 教授还让学生自己撰写chants，从而创造出一个既轻松又有意思的学习环境，让他们在这样的氛围里学习和使用英语。 3)Jazz Chants 是有意义的语言交际活动。表面上看，Jazz Chants在某种程度上有些像传统的听说法的句型操练，然而它却没有机械性语言操练的先天不足。Jazz Chants是有意义的、有趣味的交际性对话，它所使用的语言是真实的、实用的。 4)Jazz Chants是互动性的。尽管Jazz Chants这一教学模式有着大量的重复练习，但这种重复练习始终存在于两人或多人的相互应答之中。Chants一般都可以以听和练开始，以角色扮演这样的活动结束。整个学习过程不是那种枯燥的重复操练和死记硬背的过程，而是一种自然的交流互动的过程。
Unit 1 Basic Concepts: Syllables, Stress & Rhythm Listening Exercise 1 When we learn to speak English, we are learning a new way of listening and speaking. The purpose of this textbook is to try to make your ears sharper for the sounds of English and the way the sounds are organized; to help you get familiar with pitch movements of English utterances and the message it conveys; and to help you improve your English pronunciation and intonation. When you can hear English properly you will be able to improve your spoken English. Listening Exercise 2 In words with two or more syllables in English, one of the syllables will receive more stress than the others. Look up these words in the dictionary and you will see a mark indicating stress in front of this syllable. People often have difficulty understanding these words if the stress is wrong because a word is considered mispronounced if the wrong syllable stress is used. Correct stress is, therefore, as important as correct sounds. Listening Exercise 3 Listen to the following words and underline the primary stress of each word. Example: soft ware Sun day 1.blueprint 2.driveway 3.motorboat 4.textbook 5.beefsteak 6.notebook 7.greenhouse 8.forestfire 9.football 10.paperback Listening Exercise 4 Listen to the pitch change on the long stressed syllables of the following words. Underline the stressed syllable of each of the words. Example: air plane ( 2 ) 1. receive ( ) 2.dictionary ( ) 3.understand ( ) 4. because ( ) 5. considered ( ) 6. mispronounced ( ) 7. correct ( ) 8.important ( ) 9.timetable ( ) 10.textbook ( ) Listening Exercise 5 Listen to the following sentences. Decide how many syllables are in each sentence. Example: They worked all night ( 4 )
