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」。學習把字詞組合理的串在一塊,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:詞組、流暢度、韻律感。
I have a saw that can saw as much as a saw can saw when a saw can saw as much as a saw can saw.
逐步練習:符號「△」表示停頓;「-」表示連音。
I have a saw△that can saw△as much as△a saw can saw△when a saw△can saw△as much as△a saw can saw
I have-a saw△that can saw△as much-as-a saw can saw△when a saw can saw△as much-as-a saw can saw
中譯:我有一把鋸子,它能鋸的東西和鋸子能鋸的東西差不多,當然鋸子能鋸的東西和鋸子能鋸的東西差不多。
