Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, I'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short text to answer the question, describe an occasion when you lost something.
4
Let's take a look.
5
It's funny.
6
The first thing that comes to mind isn't something very expensive.
7
It's funny.
8
When you begin a sentence with the word it's, I sometimes notice that people completely drop the i part,
9
and they just begin with it's funny, it's funny, it's funny.
10
They kind of connect the it's to the next word.
11
It's funny.
12
Now this doesn't always happen.
13
If someone's speaking a little bit more clearly, they wouldn't do this, and it wouldn't happen quite so obviously in the middle of a sentence.
14
It's funny, the first thing that comes to mind, the first thing, you know, the t in first thing gets deleted,
15
the first thing that comes to mind, that, the T in that, turns into a glottal stop, that, that comes to mind,
16
isn't something very expensive, isn't, the T in isn't also turns into a glottal stop, isn't something, isn't something.
17
And now if I say this faster, I might say isn't something, and remove the T entirely, no glottal stop, isn't something, isn't something.
18
Or if I'm speaking a little slower and clearer, I'll say isn't something.
19
Isn't something with a glottal stop.
20
But I just happen to have.
21
But I just happen to have.
22
But I, that T in but turns into a tap before I, and the T in just gets deleted because it's in front of a consonant.
23
Just happen.
24
But I just happen to have.
25
But I just happen to have a very strong memory about it. About it.
26
Here about that T turns into a tap. About it. About it.
27
I was waiting for a bus.
28
I was waiting for a bus once. For a.
29
Here for a turns into for a.
30
I was waiting for a for a bus once and I left some sunglasses.
31
An-ni.
32
That D in and disappears a lot of a time.
33
And I, and I, and I left some.
34
So here the T in left some gets removed.
35
Left some sunglasses.
36
And I left some sunglasses on the bench.
37
On the, on the bench.
38
That N and TH connect together.
39
On the bench.
40
Once I was in the bus and driving away, in the bus, just like on the, we connect in the.
41
The N and TH connect together.
42
In the bus and driving away.
43
Here, and, because it's between two consonants, we remove the A and the D sounds.
44
N driving becomes bus and driving.
45
Once I was in the bus and driving away, bus and driving away, it's just an N sound.
46
I saw them out the window.
47
Now here, I saw them.
48
That's a little bit extra clear.
49
We could say, I saw him.
50
I saw him out the window.
51
Saw him.
52
We could remove the th entirely.
53
That's okay.
54
I saw him out the window.
55
Here, out the, we connect that sound together, and you could think of it as a glottal stop plus th,
56
out the, or you could think of it as the t connecting into th, out the.
57
Both are fine.
58
I saw him out the window and knew they were gone forever.
59
Window, new.
60
Here, window.
61
Well, this consonant's a little bit softer than s, so we have a little bit of an e sound.
62
Window, and it's not just an end sound.
63
So I'm removing the d.
64
It's not just window, n, new.
65
It's window, when, when, when.
66
So we have a small uh sound.
67
Window-wen-nu.
68
Now the d gets removed.
69
Window-wen-nu.
70
And the two n sounds, after the d gets removed, the two n sounds get connected.
71
And new they were gone forever.
72
It's been almost 15 years.
73
Almost 15?
74
The t disappears between s and f.
75
Almost 15 years since then.
76
And I still try to take.
77
And I still...
78
We remove the D in AND I.
79
And I still try to take.
80
Here to gets reduced quite a lot.
81
Try to.
82
Try to.
83
That T is kind of a very light dd sound.
84
Try to.
85
Try to take.
86
And the vowel is reduced too.
87
Try to take better care of my sunglasses.
88
Here of turns into uh before an M sound.
89
Better care of my sunglasses.
90
care of my sunglasses.
91
It's funny, the first thing that comes to mind isn't something very expensive, but I just happen to have a very strong memory about it.
92
I was waiting for a bus once and I left some sunglasses on the bench.
93
Once I was in the bus and driving away, I saw them out the window and knew they were gone forever.
94
It's been almost 15 years since then, and I still try to take better care of my sunglasses.
为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，口语表达能力的提升至关重要。通过观看这些视频，您不仅可以练习自己的发音和语调，还可以加强对美式英语的理解。这种英语影子跟读技巧，或称为shadowspeak，能有效帮助您模仿和掌握自然的语言流畅度。视频中提到的内容，比如“我等待公共汽车时”，让我们理解了日常生活中使用英语的真实场景，从而使学习者在雅思口语练习中更加自信。
语法和表达在语境中
视频中的演讲者使用了一些重要的语法结构和表达方式，这对于提升您的英语口语非常有帮助：
- 连接词（It's funny）：在句子开头使用时，单词“it's”可能会与后面的单词连读，帮助优化语音流畅度。
- 消音现象（D的消失）：在“I left some sunglasses”的表达中，"left"的T音常常被省略，这是在连贯口语中常见的情况。
- 停顿与连读（In the bus and driving away）：此句中的“and”常常在两辅音之间略读，这样的技巧能让您的英语更加自然。
理解这些结构将帮助您在雅思口语考试中更加自如地表达自己的想法，增强交流的自信心。
常见发音陷阱
发音是掌握英语口语的关键，但其中也有些陷阱需要特别注意：
- 连音现象：在“for a bus”中，词组常常听起来像“fora bus”，这样的发音可以让您跟上英语的快速语速。
- 浊音与清音的转换：当说到“that comes to mind”时，T的发音可能会产生停顿，此现象叫做“glottal stop”，在快速讲话时尤其重要。
- 省音（isn't something）：根据语速的不同，“isn't”中的T音可能会完全被省略，这种情况在日常对话中相当普遍。
通过练习和反复听这些发音，您将能在雅思口语练习中表现得更为自然，用shadow speech技巧不断提升自己的发音准确性.
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
