單元1:Tongue Twisters趣味繞口令
練習英文繞口令的目的,主要是能增進口說時:「發音標準」、「流暢度」與「韻律感」。學習合理的把字詞串組在一塊,何時停頓,何時加重音量,以便掌握更有效的溝通技巧。
今天的繞口令主要練習:長母音「ee」和雙子音串「fl」,「sn」,「fr」的發音。
Denise sees the fleece,
Denise sees the fleas.
At least Denise could sneeze and feed,
and freeze the fleas.
逐步練習:符號「–」表示連音或將字詞串組在一塊念。而符號「△」表示停頓。
Denise△sees-the-fleece,
Denise△sees-the-fleas.
At-least△Denise△could sneeze-and-feed,
and△freeze-the-fleas.
(先慢慢一個字一個字念,再試試加快速度,一氣呵成念念看!)
