Part 2: syllables/音节的划分
一个英语音节必须有元音，一个英语单词中有多少个元音（或元音群, 如/aI/, /eI/,
/IE/，/eE/，/CI/等），那它就有多少个音节，例如:
单音节: a, I, eat, my, stay, ski, kid, clear, stair, boy
双音节: num-ber, de-cide, Eng-lish
三音节: beau-ti-ful, dis-cus-sion
Part 3: 帮你确定重音位置的一些规则：
Rule One：强调复合词（名词）中的第一个词。
[a] deadline: to meet a deadline
[b] classroom: a noisy classroom
[c] software: to install the software
[d] air conditioner: to fix the air conditioner
练习：朗读下面的复合词，注意词重音。
Group 1:
Sunglasses
Group 2:
seat belt
television station
space shuttle heart attack
earthquake teenager
Rule Two: 反身代词的重音在 –self 或 –selves 上。
[a] Myself: I went there by myself.
[b] Themselves: They finished it by themselves.
Rule Three: 带-teen 的数词重音在-teen音节上。带-ty的数词重音在-ty音节上。
区别下列数词：
[a] She has sixty / sixteen candles.
[b] We’ll board our plant at Gate 40 / 14.
另一个区别teen 和ty 的方法：
在 “teen”音节中的 /t/ 一般十分清晰，而在“ty”音节中的 /t/ 偏浊声，听起来有点像/d/. 例如，
eighdy thirdy sixdy.
eighteen thirteen sixteen
Rule Four: 含前缀的单词重音一般在词根或词根的第一个音节，前缀弱读。

Part 4： 连读Linking
1，以元音开始的单词会和前一单词的辅音结尾连读, 这种现象叫连读（Linking）。
例如：
[a] What’s up?
[b] She’s on the phone.
[c] Come on in.
[d] How much is it?
[e] The plane is going to take off soon.
[f] Drop him off at the library.
从上面的例子中可以知道连读现象经常涉及英语中的一些以元音开始的“小词”。 如：up, on, in, is, it, off, him。
2. 一首练习连读的好歌：（划线部分为连读，请同学到网上下载歌曲）
Top of the World , performed by the Carpenters
Such a feeling's coming over me
There's wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven
that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world
looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through
I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world
looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
3．/t/, /d/ 和 you 的连读：/t/ + /y/ = /7/ ; /d/ + /y/ = /G/
[a] Don’t you know it’s Halloween this Sunday?
[b] Can’t you go with me?
[c] Did you know who invented the telegraph?
[d] Would you like to join us?
[e] I called you last night.
4．连读也发生在下面划线部分的两个单词中。
[a] It’s a good deal.
[b] It’s a big game.
[c] I felt tired all day.
[d] Take this seat.
第一个单词的词尾辅音与第二个单词的词首辅音相同。发音时，会省略前一个单词的词尾辅音。所以第一个单词听起来会不完整。
5．下面是更多省略词尾辅音的现象：
[a] It’s a la(te) dinner.
[b] Hel(p) me, please.
[c] Gi(ve) me the book!
[d] Please si(t) down.
[e] I’ve bough(t) some coffee for you.
[f] He’s a ca(b) driver
[g] Didn’t you see the sto(p) sign?
[h] Kee(p) trying!
[i] A la(p)top computer
[j] It’s a bi(g) problem.
[k] They loo(k) like the same.
