Unit 2 Neighbours Study skills连读连读 连读，连读，是指在发音时，常将词与词之间交界的有两个音连在一起。连读是英语语调中比较重要的一个组成要素。它有助于完整意义的表达，并使整句话具有强烈的粘着感，体现句子的整体性和英语的自然流畅。连读现象只出现在意群内部，也就是说相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关。意群与意群之间的两个相邻单词是不连读的。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过即可。We often link sounds together when we speak English. There are four different ways of linking sounds together. 1. We usually link a consonant sound with a vowel sound. an apple stand up in an hour2. When the first word ends in r or re and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we join them together with a /r/sound between them. there are for us here is3.When there are two vowel sounds, we join them as if there were a /j/ or /w/ sound between them. we enjoy go out the other4. When two consonant sounds of two words meet, we sometime do not need to pronounce the fist consonant sound. best time sit down a big cakeA: Listen carefully.
