First let students find out the liaison and incomplete explosions by themselves. Then play the tape and check on
10、e by one. Play the tape again and let students read after it.General information on liaison and incomplete explosion: (This material can be distributed to students as handouts.)连读什么是连读: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。连读时的音节一般不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可以加音,也不可
11、以读得太重。如: not at all这个短语。连读时听起来就像是一个单词。注意:连读只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。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。如: Please take a look at it.这个句子中take a look at it是同一个意群,那么take与a可连读,look与at可连读,at与it可连读。在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。连读的详细情况:1.在同一个意群中,相邻的两个词,前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,往往要拼在一起连读。如:He is a
12、 student. (is与a要连读)That is a right answer. (That与is, is和a, right和answer都可以连读)Ill be back in half an hour. (back和in, half和an, an与hour都可以连读)。2.在同一个意群中的两个单词,如果前面的单词以r或re结尾,后面的单词以元音音素开头,则r或re要发/r/音,并与其后的元音音素相拼。如: here and there, a pair 不完全爆破什么是不完全爆破:爆破音是指发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍,然后气流冲破阻碍而发出的音。这些音有6个,即/p/, /b/, /t/,
13、 /d/, /k/和/g/。但在某些情况下,发爆破音时,气流不必冲破阻碍,而只是发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍,并稍做停顿,(也就是说,做好要发出这个爆破音的准备,但不要发出音来),这样的发音过程叫作不完全爆破。不完全爆破的详细情况:1. /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/这6个爆破音中的任何两个音素相邻时,前者发不完全爆破音,后者则要完全地。彻底地进行爆破。如:1) He has a ba(d) col(d) today. 2) You shoul(d) ta(k)e care of the children. Gla(d) to meet you.2.爆破音/p/, /b/
14、, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/在/tF/, /dV/, /W/, /T/的前面时不完全爆破。如:1) Have you rea(d) the book abou(t) tha(t) child。2) The thir(d) chair is broken.3.爆破音/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/在/m/, /n/, /l/, /s/的前面时不完全爆破。如:1) Goo(d) morning, sir.2) Goo(d) night.3) They are very frien(d)ly to us.注意:不完全爆破可以发生在单词。短语或句子中。Step II

19、le, there is a subtitle besides a title, which illustrates the title by supplying more details. And usually in a news article, we use inverted pyramid format.

22、and a cut on his head. However, he looked calm and optimistic. “I have tried my best in the competition. I dont feel regret”.
