因为英文和中文语音之间的差别是如此巨大，许多中国学生在口头表述思想时连最起码(也是最重要)的语音清晰都做不到。也就根本谈不上语音的重读，语言的节奏和语调。下面将分析中国学生有问题的语音难点，并建议你把主要的精力放到语言的节奏上来。最终做到语音基本清晰、有地道的语言节奏感。

　　语音练习的技巧：

　　*全神贯注地听

　　*精益求精地模仿

　　*一段时间内做大声朗读的练习。

　　“中国学生语音的常见错误及改正方法”

　　1.双元音发得不到位

　　纠正的方法是注意双元音必须充足地从一个音滑到另一个音。可练习以下单词：

　　ay as in day,age, ate, aim, day, may, stay, play, made, paper, play, baby, way, weigh, crazy, tray, gray, remain,oh as in goold, owe, omit , know, show, throw, don’t, vote, told no, gold, sold, nose,I as in eye,I, dive, ice, iron, like, my, tie, why, life, drive, child,oi as in boy,oil, oyster, boy, toy, enjoy, point, choice, boil,ow as in now,out, hour, ounce, now, how, plow, found, doubt, about

　　2.几个容易发不好的单元音

　　eh as in egg,end, egg, exit, met, best, pen,a as in at,am, add, act, can, dance, land

　　3.几个容易出错的辅音

　　v as in vote,vote, voice, very, above, live, believe, every, private, seven,w as in we,week, window, water, always, homework, someone,th as in think,thank, thin, thunder, both, month, tooth, healthy, bathroom, nothing,th as in these,the, this, their, breather, smooth, bathe, bother, mother, together,r as in red ready, ripe, room, wrist, arrive, worry, correct,I as in like Eel, bottle, bowl, leave, lesson, late, pull, bell, smell, police, village

　　4.单词的重音

　　只要把最常用单词列出来并标出重音,经过短时间强化练习就可以把单词重音读准。

　　5.发音太快,音之间没有明显产间隔

　　学发音的第一步就是要做到给每一个音足够的时间和力度.在此阶段说英语就应该象是在声朗读.只有这样才能练就发音清晰和促成英语发音肌肉的形成.在此基础上,可以逐渐地加快说英语的速度和减少说英语时发音的吃力感.

　　6.语言节奏

　　因为受汉语的影响,中国学生在说英语时往往缺乏”意群”节奏感和对同一个意群中不同单词或强调或弱化的处理.纠正的办法是找两三篇有录音的文章,反复地模仿。
