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:X在字首/z/和字尾/ks/的發音

Xander the xylophonist played his xylophone for the fox.

逐步練習:符號「△」表示停頓;「-」表示連音。

Xander △ the xylophonist △ played △ his xylophone △ for the foxXander the xylophonist △ played his-xylophone △ for the fox

中譯:木琴演奏家桑德為狐狸演奏木琴。
