由于PTE考试对于发音的要求更为严格,今天墨尔本为大家总结PTE口语实战中除n/l不分外最常出现的发音错误以及纠正方法,大家只要每次练习时提前在脑中提醒自己尽量避免这些错误,一定能在考试中取得更高的Pronunciation分数。
- 忽略元音前The [ðɪ]
例子:the Indian sub-continent; the owner; the hourly payment
建议:元音前发[ðə]通常会十分拗口,结合语感多练习,累计纠正次数
- 忽略连读
例子:areas of;analyses of;records of;such as;conclusions are; what’s your
建议:大量模仿跟读;预览时留意最常见的s结尾连读,提前准备
- 词尾s没发音或者乱加s
例子:histories; fields of science; sciences; clothes [kləʊ(ð)z]
建议:大量纠错练习,大脑本能提醒
- 元音长音不明显
例子:this/these; Greeks; registrar [‘redʒɪstrɑː]
建议:练习时长音发得夸张一点,语速加快时注意长音位置,背单词时留意音标符号
- 元音不够饱满(嘴型不到位)
例子:There [eə] are many [e] kinds [ai] of pond [ɒn], but nearly all [ɔː] are [ɑː] small bodies [ɒ] of shallow [æ], stagnant [æ] water [ɔː] in which plants [ɑ:n] with roots [uː] can grow [əʊ].
建议:大声跟读模仿,嘴型夸张,注意发音部位
- 辅音浊化
例子:respectively; stamp; scan; schedule (美);
建议:牢记浊化规则,提高对浊化辅音p t k(c)的敏感度
- 吞音过度
例子:介词to消失;冠词an消失;there发成they
建议:放慢语速读清楚后再加速;练习轻音、失爆同时注意语句的完整性
- 咬舌音不到位
例子:They; there; those; thus; theory
建议:大量模仿练习,读时提前量准备
- 长词重音位置
例子:indefinite [ɪn’defɪnɪt]/definitive [dɪ’fɪnɪtɪv]
建议:猜测基本遵从倒数第三个音节重音规律,生词多用音标矫正
- 忽略升调
例子:…including economics, ↗politics, ↗biography, ↗demography, ↗and much else besides.↘; for example, ↗…
建议:话未说完、疑问、不确定时果断升调;语意完整时果断降调
