模仿朗讀高分技巧之如何連貫地朗讀
英語聽說考試的第一部分是模仿朗讀,模仿朗讀部分雖然相對簡單,但要拿高分也并不容易。模仿朗讀考察的主要是考生的發(fā)音能力,包括語音、語調(diào)是否正確、自然,語氣是否恰當,是否具備較強的模仿能力。下面是學習啦小編為大家整理的模仿朗讀高分技巧之如何連貫地朗讀,希望對大家有用。
1. 何時需要停頓?
我們在朗讀一篇短文時,要注意停頓節(jié)奏。停頓的主要規(guī)則有:
① 句子中若有逗號,在逗號處應當稍作停頓。如:She is my new classmate, / Lily.
?、?在句與句之間,遇到有句號(.)、分號(;)、問號(?)等標點時,應當稍作停頓。
如:I work in Beijing. / I am a teacher.
③ 在朗讀一個長句子時,若句中沒有標點,同樣需要停頓。但停頓不是隨意的,只能在意群之間進行。
什么是意群?
一個句子可根據(jù)意思和語法結構分成若干成分,每一個成分稱之為一個意群。意群可以是一個詞,一個詞組或短語,也可以是一個從句。簡言之,意群就是意思密不可分的一群詞(短語或從句)。
例如:
Unfortunately, / time is limited. 很可惜的是,時間不夠了。
We met an old man on the train / and he told us about his story.我們在火車上遇到一個老人,他跟我們講述了他的故事。
I have told you / not to paly fire. 我告訴過你不要玩火。
以上這些被斷開的短語就是我們說的意群。不同意群之間,需稍作停頓。
練習1:根據(jù)下面短文中劃分的意群和停頓進行朗讀。(文中標下劃線的為長難句,朗讀時,需注意停頓。)
Mr. Kobe owned a small store. When some big chain stores opened in town, / many small stores closed down; / but Mr. Kobe didn’t. One day, / the owner of one big store/ went to Mr.Kobe’s store/ and interviewed a customer. Thecustomer told him/ that Mr. Kobe was a kind store owner. He was kind and helpful/ to his neighbours. So they were happy to shop / in Mr. Kobe’s small store.
2. 如何正確的連讀?
在同一個意群中,如果相鄰的兩個詞前者以輔音音素結尾,后者以元音音素或半元音/w/、/j/開頭,就要自然地將輔音和元音相拼,構成一個音節(jié),這就是連讀。
英語中有以下幾種常見的連讀形式:
?、佥o音+元音:單詞末尾的輔音與后面一個單詞開頭的元音結合起來拼讀。如:
Stand⌒up.
Put⌒off.
He was born in⌒a poor family.
Will⌒it take⌒a lot⌒of time to go to school?
?、趓/re+元音:在英語中,如果單詞以r或re結尾,r通常不發(fā)音,但當后面接有一個元音開頭的單詞時,r則會發(fā)音,讀成/r/,并與后面的元音構成音節(jié)連讀。如:
there⌒is, for⌒ever
Here⌒are four⌒eggs.
Where⌒is my cup?
?、?輔音+半元音/j/
Thank⌒you.
Nice to meet⌒you.
注意:以上連讀必須在同一個意群,如果不在同一個意群的兩個單詞,是不能連讀。因為要考慮到我們前面講的停頓。
如:
There⌒is an⌒old book/ in the bag.
He fell⌒asleep / as soon⌒as he got⌒into bed
句中,There is之間可以連讀,an與old之間也可以連讀,因為他們在同一個意群中;但是,book雖以輔音結尾,in以元音開頭,也不能連讀,因為他們不屬同一個意群中,這里需注意稍作停頓。
同理,fell⌒asleep和as soon⌒as 可以連讀,而asleep as 之間則需稍作停頓。
練習2:請根據(jù)連讀符號“⌒”的提示朗讀下面的文段。
John climbed West Hill with his classmates last weekend. He led the way. So he often stopped to check⌒if others were following him. They had⌒a picnic at the top⌒of the hill. When they finished, they picked⌒up all their rubbish. On theway down the hill, they stood for⌒a minute to listen to the birds singing. They got very close to some⌒of the birds. It was⌒a tiring day. When John got home, he fell⌒asleep as soon⌒as he got⌒into bed.
