[00:10.28]learn to recognize and pronounce full and educed English vowels ,
[00:16.16]learn to recognize and pronounce stressed and unstressed syllables and words in Englis
[00:24.23]Part 1
[00:25.80]Pre-listening Exercise
[00:29.01]The English language uses 20 different vowel sounds ,and 24 different consonant sounds
[00:36.77]A lot of the sounds are similar to the sounds in Chinese
[00:41.71]A few English sounds,like final consonants,are difficult for Chinese speakers .
[00:49.00]Chinese words usually end either in-n,-ng,or a vowel.English words,however,can end with many different consonants .
[01:00.60]In fact ,many words end in a consonant cluster (two or more consonants
[01:07.08]For example,look at the ending of consonants.It ends with a combination of the sounds /n/,/t/,and /s/.
[01:16.58]English final consonants are very important for two reasons .
[01:21.47]One reason is that English words with different meanings often begin with the same sounds.
[01:29.23]For example,the only sound difference between "you "and "use "is the final sound:
[01:36.23]"use "ends in the consonant sound /z/.The only sound difference between "word "and "work"is the final consonant:/d/or /k
[01:47.75]Only the final consonant sound tells your listener which word you mean .
[01:53.52]Another reason is that final consonants often show whether a noun is singular or plura
[01:59.95]or whether a verb is in the past or present tense ,for example "noun"(singular)or "nouns"(plural
[02:09.09]"show"(present tense )or "showed "(past tense).
[02:14.52]If you don't recognize final consonants when you hear them,you may not be able to understand English speakers
[02:22.88]If you don't pronounce final consonants clearly ,English speakers may not be able to understand you .

[05:15.09]Pre-listening Exercises
[05:17.81]English has more than one sound for each of the written vowels a,e,i,o,and
[05:25.33]Sometimes the sounds change because of spelling rules,but the most common sound change occurs when one syllable is emphasized
[05:36.46]or stressed ,more than the others .In words of more than one syllable ,one syllable is always stresse
[05:45.00]In long words,more than one syllable may be stressed
[05:49.76]Stressed syllables always have a nomal ,full vowel sound ,like the first syllable of "emphasized
[05:58.01]The unstressed vowels in the other syllables are often reduced ,that is ,spoken very quickly and quietly ,like the -a-in"emphasized".
[06:09.27]Have you ever been unalbe to recognize an English word when you first hear it ,even though you know the word very well when you see it in print?
[06:18.52]That's probably because the word contains one or more reduced vowel
[06:24.47]Reduced vowels are spoken quickly and quietly ,so they lose their distinctive pronunciation .
[06:32.81]There are really only two reduced vowel sounds in English
[06:37.20]One sound is the reduced/i/.You can hear it in a word like "im/tate
[06:43.73]The other sound is more common .It's usually represented by the sound symbol/2
[06:49.94]It's used for the reduced vowels/a/,/e/,/o/and /u/.It sounds something like the pronunciation of the -0-in "pronunciation
[07:00.92]the -a-in the word "syllable "or the -e-in "vowel"-in other words,it's hardly pronounced at al
[07:09.77]The vowels,a,e,o,and u are written with different letters of the alphabet ,but they sound almost the same when reduced .
[07:18.81]It's more important to be able to hear reduced vowels than to be able to pronounce the
[07:24.66](English speakers will understand you even if you don't use reduced vowels
[07:29.75]If you don't recognize reduced vowels when you hear them,you may have problems understanding what an English speaker is saying
[07:37.72]It's important to practise noticing reduced vowels as you read and listen to the texts in this book .
