1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, I'd like to look at the intonation in the short
4
piece where someone is making an appointment to get their car fixed.
5
Let's take a look.
6
Hi, I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
7
Hi, hi.
8
So we're greeting somebody, and this is probably a phone conversation.
9
Hi, I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
10
You're making kind of a request when you're on the phone
11
and you're kind of explaining what the phone call is going to be about.
12
you go up even at the end of the sentence here.
13
In a lot of videos, I talk about going down at the end of the sentence most of the time.
14
And so this is an example where we're going to go up at the end of the sentence.
15
I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
16
To bring my car in.
17
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
18
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
19
We go up with Ford and up with 2013 because both of those modify focus.
20
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
21
When I get on the highway, when I get on the highway, so I'm introducing the topic here.
22
When I get on the highway, something is going to happen, right?
23
So I keep my tone high to tell you that I'm just beginning this sentence.
24
When I get on the highway, you can hear kind of a loud noise.
25
Loud modifies noise, so loud noise coming from the back half of the car.
26
Car is the end of the sentence, so we'll go down there.
27
You can hear kind of a loud noise coming from the
28
back half back half of the car the back half is
29
an important piece of information it's where the noise is coming
30
from back half of the car like a rumbling loud enough
31
to hear it from the inside loud enough inside those are
32
the two stress points here it's a very loud sound
33
and you can hear it inside the car loud enough to
34
hear it from the inside we're kind of speaking evenly hear it from the inside and then going down again with side.
35
It's weird.
36
It's weird.
37
We want to put some emotion into our voices here.
38
It's weird because I just had it looked at a few months ago.
39
It's weird because I just had it looked at.
40
I just had it looked at.
41
You can imagine you're a little bit frustrated, so you're going down with your voice for more of these words.
42
I just had it looked at.
43
I just had it looked at a few months ago.
44
Maybe not that angry, but you can feel the emotion here with the words going down in pitch.
45
It's weird because I just had it looked at a few months ago.
46
A few months ago.
47
A few months.
48
A few modifies months, so it's a higher tone there.
49
A few months ago.
50
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
51
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
52
Not sure what.
53
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
54
Again, if you put more emotion into it, if you say, I'm not sure what's going on with it, it just becomes a more exaggerated version of the intonation I've shown here.
55
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
56
Do you have any open slots this week?
57
What I'm asking for in this section is open slots, meaning open appointments, open times I can bring the car in.
58
So, do you have any open slots this week?
59
I go up with my voice at the end here because it's a yes-no question.
60
The person I'm talking to could say, yes, we do, or no, we don't.
61
You'll have to come in another time.
62
So, for yes-no questions, we go up with the voice at the end.
63
Do you have any open slots this week?
64
Do you have any open slots this week?
65
Open is a little higher than slots
66
because we have to dip with our voices in order to go up at the end.
67
Do you have any open slots this week?
68

練習提示
在進行本課程時，請運用shadowing技術。您可以播放視頻，跟隨講者的速度和語調模仿他們的發音。特別注意如何在句末提高語調，例如在「I want to make an appointment to bring my car in」類似的句子中，結尾的語調上揚有助於表達請求的語氣。建議你在看YouTube學英語時，使用兩次播放，第一次聽明白句子的意思，第二次則專注於模仿。這將有助於您在提升提高英語發音的同時，增強情感的表達，例如「It's weird」這類句子中的情緒變化。
定期練習這些對話，可以促進您的口語流利度，因此可以在雅思口語練習中更輕鬆應對類似場景。記住，練習的過程中加入情感會讓您的語言表達更加自然和生動。
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。
