雅思口语考试技巧：元音训练

　　长元音和双元音饱满

　　鬼鬼祟祟的英文就是由于鬼鬼祟祟(sneaky;lousy)的元音造成的!只要把元音发饱满(full),你的英文立刻会变得悦耳动听.那些英美流行歌手就是元音饱满的范例.

　　国际音标[I:]=美国音标[I]

　　Nickname外号:穿针引线长"衣"音!

　　Matching Sound中文近似音:衣服的"衣"

　　Gesture动作:在空中做一个"穿针引线"的动作.

　　Special Trick 特别的技巧:做疯狂勉强微笑状.

　　Extra Note额外阐述:一个最重要的长音.一定要足够长,足够到位!

　　最经典的四句话:1. A:Please have a seat.(请坐)

　　B:Thank you .(谢谢)

　　中国人学了这么多年英语,其实连"请坐"都不会说.在美国,没有人会说"Sit down , please!"这句话听起来命令口气太浓!This sentence sounds like a military order .It is too bossy and commanding. It also sounds like you have no control over the crowd in a public speaking situation. The suggestion "Please have a seat."sounds much better.

　　2. A:We believe in you.(我相信你能做到,你能成功)

　　B: I appreciate your support.(非常感谢你的支持)

　　3. A:Sweet dreams.(做个好梦)

　　B:You too.(你也做个好梦)

　　4. A:Why is he so happy today?(今天他为什么这么高兴)

　　B:He dreamed a sweet dream last night.(他昨晚做了一个甜美的梦.)
