單元1. Tongue Twisters(趣味繞口令)
練習英文繞口令的目的,主要是能增進口說時:「發音標準」、「流暢度」與「韻律感」。學習合理的把字詞串組在一塊,何時停頓,何時加重音量,以便掌握更有效的溝通技巧。
今天的繞口令主要練習:母音、字詞串組、流暢度。
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter is bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
(貝蒂·波特買了些奶油,但她說,奶油很苦。如果把奶油放進麵糊,麵糊就會變苦。)
逐步練習:符號「△」表示停頓。「大寫字母」表示重音處。
