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」。學習把字詞組合理的串在一塊，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：詞組、流暢度、韻律感。

I have a saw that can saw as much as a saw can saw when a saw can saw as much as a saw can saw.

逐步練習：符號「△」表示停頓；「-」表示連音。

I have a saw△that can saw△as much as△a saw can saw△when a saw△can saw△as much as△a saw can saw

I have-a saw△that can saw△as much-as-a saw can saw△when a saw can saw△as much-as-a saw can saw

中譯：我有一把鋸子，它能鋸的東西和鋸子能鋸的東西差不多，當然鋸子能鋸的東西和鋸子能鋸的東西差不多。
