4、ip is on how syllable stress can affect the meaning of words. Remenber that stressed syllables are said louder and are lengthened, and unstressed syllables are pronounced more softly, and often have the vowel sounds reduced. Sometimes, this difference can be the difference between a verb and a noun,

5、 or an adjective. There are at least 14 pairs of words in which syllable stress alone makes this difference. Some examples include addict, addict, convict, convict, perfect, perfect. Each time the second syllable is stressed, the word is a verb. When the first syllable is stressed, the word is eithe

6、r a noun or an adjective. Lets look some examples more closely. Permit, permit, a permit is a noun, it is a piece of paper which authorizes you to do something. For instance, a fishing permit allows you to go fishing. Permit is a verb. It means to allow. For instence, fishing isnt permitted here wit

7、hout a permit. Another example is perfect, perfect. Perfect is an adjective. It means 100% correct, no mistakes or errors. The verb is perfect, it means to make something perfect. For example, “I want to perfect my English” means “I want to make my English perfect”. Make sure you stress the right sy

Till then, tomorrow, for another tip on learning English.3. 清濁輔音結尾對元音長度的影響Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on how different vowel lengths are used to differentiate words ending

9、in voiced and voiceless consonants. Lets take an example. Theres something in my eyes. Theres something in my ice. The last words in the examples, eyes and ice differ in 2 ways. One difference is the word eyes end with the sound “z”, and ice end with the sound “s”. The other difference in the pronun

10、ciation of “eyes” and “ice” is how the vowel sound “ai” is pronounced. In the word “eyes”, it is longer. In the word “ice”, it is very short. Listen to the examples again, and note that the final consonant sound is not as clear as the difference in the length of the vowel. Theres something in my eye

11、s. Theres something in my ice. Listen again. Theres something in my eyes. Theres something in my ice. Listen to some other examples of words that are identical except for the final consonants and the vowel length. Cap, cab, plate, played, seat, seed. Todays tip is to pay more attention to the length

12、 of vowels, as this difference is very important in distinguishing some words. Till then, tomorrow, to another tip on learning English.4. 詞尾輔音與詞首元音的連音Welcome to daily tips on learning English. Todays tip is on sound linking.Although in written English, therere spaces between every word, in spoken En

13、glish therere always never (1pauses between words. In order to understand spoken English, it is (2essential to understand how this linking is done. Today lets (3concentrate on the most common sound linking situation. Whenever a word ending in a consonant sound is followed by a word beginning with a

14、vowel sound, the consonant sound is linked to the vowel sound as if they were part of the same word.Lets look at some examples. Id like another bowl of rice, please. First, note that although therere six words in the sentence, all the words are linked together without pause. Listen again. Id like an

15、other bowl of rice, please. Now listen to how the words “l(fā)ike” and “another” are linked. “Like another”, “l(fā)ike-another”. “Like” ends in a consonant sound, and “another” begins with a vowel sound. So the “k” from “l(fā)ike” is linked to the “a” from “another” to produce “kanother”. Listen to the example

16、sentence again. Id like another bowl of rice, please. In the sentence there is another example of a consonant being linked to a vowel. A bowl of, a bowl-of. It sounds like that youre saying the word “l(fā)ove”. Heres another example. Id love a bowl of rice. Id love a bowl of rice. This sound linking is

17、probably the biggest problem for learners of English when they try to understand native speakers talking. Well talk more about sound linking in future daily tips, as this is an extremely import feature of spoken English. Todays tip is to link consonants to vowels which come after them. Till then, to

Todays tip is on sound linking.Remember that although written English has spaces between every word, spoken English do

19、esnt have pauses after every word. As a matter of fact, long strings of words are all linked together. And it is this linking, which often makes it difficult for learners of English to understand native speakers talking. Todays tip is to notice how the “h” sound is often dropped in personal pronouns

20、 such as “he”, “him”, “his” and “her”. And when it is dropped, what is left is a vowel sound, and the vowel sound is always linked to the preceding word.Lets look at an example. Give her a book. Giv-er a book. Notice how the “h” is dropped and how “give her” become “giv-er”. Look at another example.

21、 Tell him to ask her. Tell-im to ask-er. Did you notice that “tell him” became “tell-im” and “ask her” became “ask-er”? This happens very frequently in spoken English, especially when “he” follows an auxiliary verb. For example, “what will he do?” becomes “What will-i do?” “Where will he go?” become

22、s “Where will-i go?” “When will he come?” becomes “When will-i come?” “Who will he meet?” becomes “Who will-i meet?” “How will he know?” becomes “How will-i know?” “Has he gone?” becomes “Has-i gone?” “Had he done it before?” becomes “Had-i done it before?” “Must he go?” becomes “Must-i go?” “Can he

23、 do it?” becomes “Can-i do it?” “Should he leave?” becomes “Should-I leave?” its important to accustom yourself to the dropped “h” sound in sound linking. This has been todays daily tip.

24、ord 聲帶vocal cord vibration 聲帶振動Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on sound linking. When 2 identical or similar consonants are in a row, most sounds are not pronounced. For example, stop Peter. “stop” ends in the sound “p”, and “Peter” begins in the same sound. Together the wor

25、ds are linked as “sto-peter”. The words arent pronounced stop Peter. To pronounce two identical sounds one after another, would sound like someone stuttering. English words are always linked smoothly. Similar but not identical sounds such as voiced and voiceless pairs of consonants are also linked i

26、n this way. For example, its a big cake. “big” begins in the sound “g”, cake begins with the sound “k”. “k” and “g” differ only in that “k” is voiceless and “g” is voiced. When they are next to each other in a phrase theyre linked smoothly by not aspirating or pronouncing fully the first of the 2 so

27、unds. Listen carefully as I read the example again. Its a big cake. Notice how the first sound “g” is not released. If the pair of sounds is reversed, like in “I like goats.” it is the “k” sound which is not pronounced. Listen closely. I like goats. I like goats.Therere 8 pairs of consonants that di

28、ffer only in the presence or lack of vocal cord vibration. Listen as I give one example of sound linking for each pair.v, f : I love France.,: Lets bathe three times.z, s : She is Susan.,: The garage should be cleaned.d,t: He has a huge chin.b, p : Put the cap back on.d, t : Dad told me.k, g : I lik

It is also important to be aware of how this linking affects how spoken English sounds. Otherwise you may not understand native speakers speech. This has been todays daily tip. Tune in to

30、morrow for another on learning English.7. 冠詞"a"的使用和省略聽力材料文本回復可見（注：以下是我聽寫出來的內(nèi)容，疏漏之處在所難免，大家如發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤請發(fā)短消息告訴我，以便及時更改）Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on using or omitting the English article “a” correctly.Theres no single rule that explains how to choose whether you should

31、 use “a”, use “the” or not use any article at all. Sometimes theres only one correct choice, and in other cases, different choices change the meaning of the sentence. Today lets discuss the most frequently occurring differences between using the article “a” and using no article. All English nouns ca

32、n be divided into 2 classes: those that are countable and those that are uncountable.It is the meaning of a noun as it is used in a sentence which determines whether it is countable or uncountable. For instance, in the sentence “She has long hair.”, “hair” is uncountable. But in the sentence “Theres

33、 a hair in my soup.”,” hair” is countable. This can create some interesting mistakes. For example, “I like a dog” does not mean 我喜歡狗, that should be “I like dogs.” If you say “I like dog”, that means you like to eat dog meat. If you say “I ate a hamburger”, that means 我吃了一個漢堡, but if you say “I ate

34、hamburger”, that means you ate raw ground beef. If you say “I ate a cake, that means you ate a whole cake, which is very unlikely. You should have said, “I ate cake”, then it means you ate some cake.Notice how the use of the article “a” means that the noun it precedes is countable, and therefore you

35、re talking about a whole one, an entire one. If you omit the article “a”, then it means that you cant count the noun it precedes, and therefore you are talking about a piece or a quantity or something. So remember to pay careful attention to whether nouns are being used to a countable or uncountable

36、 meaning, and be sure to use or omit the article “a” accordingly. This has been todays daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.8. 冠詞的用法與讀音Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on using the articles “a”, “an” and “the” correctly.Every student of English has

37、my sympathy in his struggles with the English articles. They are one of the most difficult parts of learning English. First of all, I urge you to do this. Listen to native speakers. When you listen, listen carefully, since the articles “the” and “a” are almost never emphasized, they do not stand out

38、 prominently in speech, but theyre pronounced. You will have to train your ears so that you will recognize that the little sounds before certain words are articles, and not meaningless noises. Also, get in the habit of pronouncing the articles in the way native speakers do. As little sounds that are

39、 part of the word they precede. For instance, think of and say “the boy”as one word. Listen to this short sentence. The boy likes the girl. Say it naturally, the boy likes the girl. Did you notice how the articles are just small sounds linked to the nouns? Listen to another example. There is a pen o

40、n a desk in the classroom. Say it naturally, there is a pen on a desk in the classroom. Did you notice how all the sounds, especially articles are linked together? The article “an” is used before nouns beginning with a vowel sound, such as “an apple”. Notice how the “n” sound is linked to the word w

41、hich follows it. Also notice that words that spelled with the letter “h” in the beginning such as “hour” also use the article “an” because the “h” isnt pronounced. So we say, “an-our”, not “a hour”. And some words spelled with the letter “u” in the beginning such as “unicycle” use the article “a” be

42、cause the first sound is the “y” sound “j”. So we say, a unicycle, not an unicycle.Its also important to note that the pronunciation of the article “the” changes to “i :” before words beginning with a vowel sound. So we say “i :” elevator, not “”elevator.Another tip is, do not be misled by newspaper

43、 headlines, advertisements and titles of book and so forth. They frequently omit articles which are necessary in complete sentences in both spoken and written English. Knowing when to use “a”, when to use “the”, and when not to use any article at all is undoubtably one of the most difficult aspects

44、of learning English. We will talk about this topic more in an upcoming daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.9. 句子中的重音講座中出現(xiàn)的一些詞：content word 語實詞function word語虛詞Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on word stress on sentences.In general, it is true that c

45、ontent words are stressed whereas function words are not stressed. Content words usually convey the meaning of the sentence. Function words make the sentence grammatically correct. Content words are: nouns, main verbs, adjectives, adverbs, this, that, these, those, and “wh-“ words, who, what, when,

46、why, how, which. Function words are: articles, such as “a” and “the”; possessive adjectives, such as “his”, “my”, “your”; prepositions, such as “in”, “on”, “of”; conjunctions, such as “and”, “but”; personal pronouns, such as “ I”, “he”, “she”; the “be” verb, “am”, “is”, “are”, “was”, “were”; and aux

47、iliaries, such as “do”, “does”, “did”.Take for example the sentence “Andrew brushes his teeth every morning.” The content word alone can convey the meaning of the sentence, namely “Andrew brushes teeth every morning.” The functional word “his” only makes the sentence grammatically correct. So “his”

48、is unstressed, the other words are stressed. Why isnt “his” stressed? Because of course he brushes his teeth, not your teeth, or my teeth. This we would naturally assume. If, however, Andrew brushes someone elses teeth beside his own, then it would be very important to let your listener know that by

49、 stressing whose teeth he brushes.So, what words should be stressed? The simple answer is whatever words are important to the meaning you are trying to convey. if someone write the sentence on the board out of context and asks, “Which words are important? Which words should you stress?” You should a

50、nswer, “That depends on the context.” Stress is used to let your listener know what is important to your message. If you stress words properly, your listener will have an easy time understanding your message. If you stress every word equally, then your listener will have to listen very carefully and

51、 try to guess the main point of your message. If your stress the wrong words, the listener will misunderstand your message or just feel very confused. So remember to stress the important words to your massage.This has been todays daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.10. 斷句

52、講座中出現(xiàn)的一些詞：punctuation marks 標點符號 thought group 意群Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Todays tip is on the use of pauses in English speech.Although written English has spaces between every word, spoken English doesnt have pauses between each word, rather words are linked together. However, peo

53、ple do not normally speak without pausing at all. We do pause in speech. While in written English, there are periods, commas, semicolons and question marks. But we also pause in long sentences without punctuation marks. Lets look at some examples. My mother listens to the radio in the evening. This

54、sentence can be said without pausing, because it isnt very long. But if I were to pause, I would say, “My mother/ listens to the radio/ in the evening.” Why? Because pauses come between thought groups-groups of words that express one thought.For example, “in the evening” is a thought group. Lets mak

55、e the sentence longer. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. Now it is necessary to pause because the sentence is very long. Pauses come between thought groups, and help the listeners organize the information they hear. Lis

56、ten to sentence again. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. If you pause in the wrong places, listeners will have a harder time organizing the information. Listen to the sentence read again with improper pausing. My mother

57、 listens to the radio in/ the evening, plays tennis in /the afternoon, and cleans the/ house in the morning. Now the sentence is almost impossible to understand, so remember to pause between thought groups, to help your listeners easily organize what they hear.This has been today's tip on learni

Todays tip is on when to use pauses before adjective clauses.Lets take an example. In the sentence “My sister who lives in San Francisco is a doctor”, the adjective clause is “who lives in San Francisco”. It describes my “sister”. Theres no pause before the adjective clause. So, it means that I have more than one sister, and the one who lives in San Francisco is doctor. Theres a pause after an adjective
