有关托福口语发音的一些建议

　Pronunciation

　　发音

　　1. Note down phonemics 记下单词的音节

　　When you learn a new word, it is essential that you also learn how to say it otherwise you can use it in writing but not in speaking. By learning and using the phonemic script for each new word you learn, you will feel more confident when it comes to using it verbally.

　　当你学到一个新的单词时，练习它的正确发音是必要的，否则你充其量只会把词汇用在书写上而非口语上。

　　2. Repeat after a recording 复述练习

　　Practise repeating after a recording over and over again. The first time you may have the clarity but you will most likely be missing the other native speech patterns such as word and sentence stress, rhythm and intonation, sound links, weakened forms and contractions. Keep practising until it sounds identical to the native speaker.

　　做复述练习。你有可能已经说得很清楚，但却忽略了重音、音调或连音等。不断地练习，直到自己的发音能近似于母语为英语者。

　　3. Read aloud 大声念出来

　　This will help you to improve your motor skills. As English is not your mother tongue, your mouth will not be used to using certain muscles. Therefore they need to be given a workout as often as possible. If you read aloud a tapescript it will give you the opportunity also to listen and check your pronunciation.

　　这能帮助你训练嘴型和舌头。英语并非你的母语，所以你并不习惯于某些肌肉的运用，因此你必须时常练习。大声念出录音稿，你就有更多的机会检查自己的发音。

　　4. Listen, listen, listen 多听

　　The more you listen, the more familiar the sounds of the English language will become to you. This will assist in predicting the pronunciation of new words in case you do not have a dictionary handy to look up the phonemics.

　　多练习听力，你就能更熟悉英语音调，下次遇到新的词汇时，无须查字典也能发出正确的音。
