I hope that you’ve begun to notice some really good improvements in your speech. I also hope that these sessions have been giving you a bit more confidence when you speak English. Today, we’re gonna have some fun; we will work with English Tongue Twisters. Tongue twisters can be found in almost all languages. They are sequences of words and phrases which are difficult to pronounce because they have many different consonant sounds with very slight variations. There are a lot of fun in their perfect for practising some of the learned techniques we have covered in this program. Tongue twisters can be very tricky. They will force you to concentrate even harder on some of the new sounds that you are learning. I’ll give them to you both slowly and then a little faster. Listen carefully to my pronunciation, then pause the video and then repeat them back. Ok. This first one is called Fuzzy Wuzzy. In this tongue twister, we’re addressing F sounds /f/, W sounds /w/ as well as voiced Z sounds/z/. All the voiced Z sounds are underlined to help you out a little bit. Here we go. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he? Very good. Ok now pause the video here and practise it back. Now, I’ m going to give you the same thing a little bit faster. Here we go.

Mother Tongue (母语) by Amy Tan Mother Tongue (母语) Amy Tan The life history of the individual is first and foremost an accommodation to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community.—by Ruth Benedict 个人的生命历程，首当其冲，是对其传统文化模式和标准的接受—鲁思.本尼迪克特 I am not a scholar of English or literature .I cannot give you much more than personal opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. 我既不是英语语言学家，也不是文学专家。我只能就英语及其在美国和其它国家的变化谈些个人观点，仅此而已。 I am a writer. And by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with. 我是个作家，按作家的定义，我是那种一直热爱语言的人。我着迷于日常生活中的语言。我花费了很长时间来思考语言的力量—语言是如何唤起情感、视觉景象、复杂思想或简明真理。语言是我的执业工具。我应用所有的英语—与我一生相伴的所有英语形式。 Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was going along well enough until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her.I was saying things like,”The intersection of memory upon imagination”and “There is an aspect of my fiction that relates to thus-and-thus ”---a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened, it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of English I did not use at home with my mother. 最近发生的一些事使我对我所用的不同形式的英语有了更为深刻的认识。我当时正为很多人做讲座，同样的讲座已经搞过很多次。内容是关于我的写作、生活及小说《喜福会》。讲座进行的很顺利，直到我突然意识到了一个重要的不同之处，这个不同使整个讲座变得不对味了。我的母亲来了。这可能是她头一次听我用一种从未跟她讲过的英语做这么长的的讲座。我在讲，比如“记忆与想象的交错”“我的作品一个侧面反映了…..”等等等等，言词中充满了精心雕琢的语法词组，也重负着，我突然感觉到，所有那些我在学校和教科书里学到的诸如名词化形式、过去完成时、条件词组等标准语法形式，这些英语形式我在家从未曾与母亲使用过。Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: "Not waste money that way." My husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It's because over the twenty years that we have been together I've often used the same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me.
