英语教育现在越来越受到重视，但是英语学习中存在的问题也是很多的，严重和普遍的一个问题就是“哑巴英语”。中国的传统教育是，传统的英语教学过分强调语言知识和阅读与写作技能，这是导致这一问题的主要原因。英语是一门语言的学习，我们不应该过分的强调一些书面的能力，口语能力的训练才是重中之重。

发音规则一辅音+元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以辅音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，拼读成“辅音+元音”。
讲解：你还记得汉语拼音中有些单词xi'an(西安)、ku'ai(酷爱)吗?如果去掉隔音符，就成了xian(先)、kuai(快)了。英文中几乎所有的句子都是从头拼到尾，简单地说：连音就是两个单词相遇能拼读就拼，不能拼读就让过。
例如：Take~it~easy
短语练习(大声读出来喔)：
1.far~away It's not far~away from here.
2.in~an~hour I should be there in~an~hour.
3.later~on I'm going to see a movie later~on .
4.put~it~on Here's your sweater. Put~it~on.
5.stand~up Stand~up and stretch for a while.
6.take~care~of I'll always take care~of you .
7.take~it~easy Take~it~easy! Everything is going to be fine.
8.take~off Please fasten your seat belt. we will take~off shortly.
9.there~are There~are forty students in my class.
10、work~out I work~out every day to keep fit.
句子练习：
1.come~on!cheer~up!
2.keep~it~up!
3.never give~up!
4.I mean~it.
5.I've got~a lot~of work to do.
6.May I have~a cup~of milk?
7.What do you think~of~it?
发音规则二元音+元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以元音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，则在两个元音之间加上一个轻微的 [j] 或 [w] 的音，拼读成“元音+ [j] 或 [w] +元音”。
[i:]或[eɪ]结尾的元音+[j]+元音
1、see us→see [j] us
Come and see~us again soon.
2、be over→be [j] over
It will be~over soon.
3、be able→be [j] able
Will you be~able to come tomorrow?
4、say it →say [j] it
Could you say~it again please?
5、pay Ann →pay [j] Ann
Please pay~Ann her salary.
以[u:]或 [əʊ] 结尾的元音+[w]+元音
1、do it→do [w] it
Don't do~it again.
2、go up→go [w] up
Let's go~upstairs and have dinner.
3、show us→show [w] us
Can you show~us something else.
注：元音与元音的连音是一种自然滑过后带出来的音。当你的发音接近流利时，你会发现不用刻意去发 [j] 和 [w] 就可以有效果，所以尽管放松地去练习，模仿是老师。
发音规则三省略【h】的连读
在连音规则中，以“h”开头的单词 [h] 音近乎省略。因为 [h] 发音很特殊——只是出气没有摩擦，所以拼读时好像被省略了。
1、Does~he know?
2、What~happened?
3、Please give~him a hand!
太原英语口语培训教程——略读
英文明显的语音规则除了连读外，就是略读了。爆破音和爆破音相邻，个爆破音只形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，称为失爆;爆破音和其他辅音相邻，该爆破音不完全爆破。英语语音中的失爆和不完全爆破现象，我们简称为“略读”。略读是英语语音学习的重点，也是一个难点，掌握好略读，也就掌握了地道英语发音的制胜法宝!
注意：略读时并不是把整个音丢掉，而是发音时点到为止，有口型不发音或轻微发音。
重要学术名词--爆破音：[p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g]
爆破音+爆破音=失去爆破
Tips：
六个爆破音中任意两个相遇，一个爆破音后紧跟着另一个爆破音时，前面一个音点到为止，形成阻碍，但不发生爆破;第二个音完全爆破;若第二个爆破音在词尾，则必须轻化。
以一个爆破音结尾并以同一个爆破音开始时，只发一次音，前一个音只做好发音准备而不发音，直接发第二个音。
单词内失爆
1.active=a(c)tive [k]+[t]

2.blackboard=blac(k)board [k]+[b]

句子内失爆
以上列举的失爆和不完全爆破现象，都发生在单词内，实际上，在一个句子或者词组中，相邻的两个单词出现失爆和不完全爆破现象的几率要大于出现在单词内。
1.Stop talking!=Sto(p)-talking!
2.I don't care.=I don'(t) -care.

2爆破音[t]和[d]+鼻辅音[m]和[n]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟鼻辅音[m]和[n]，[t]和[d]形成阻碍，在词末必须通过鼻腔爆破;发音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，稍放开立刻贴回，从爆破音到鼻音舌位不变，让气流通过鼻腔冲出，在词中则不完全爆破。
[t]和[d]+[m]和[n]在词末
1. Britain [tn]

2、certain [tn]

3爆破音[t]和[d]+舌边音[l]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟舌边音[l]，则必须由舌两边爆破，这种情况多发生在词尾。爆破音爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟清晰舌边[l]，则为不完全爆破。
[t]和[d]+[l]在词末
1.battle [t]+[l]

太原英语口语培训教程——断句
当句子较长时，人们会觉得很难一口气把话说完。这时，可以按语义和语法的关系把句子分为若干段，每一段就是一个意群。换句话说，意群就是可以构成一个相对独立意思的一段，是组成句子的部件。
意群和意群之间可以有一定的停顿，这种停顿和人们的思维活动是一致的。但一个意群中的各个单词之间则不可停顿，整个意群读下来就像一个长单词一样。记住：英语不是一个词一个词地说的。
例1：Repeating after tapes is very inportant for beginners.
意群：Repeating after tapes | is very inportant | for beginners.
跟读录音带对于初学者来说，是非常重要的。
例2：Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, happy, and wise.
意群：Early to bed | and early to rise | makes a man | healthy, happy, and wise.睡得早，起得早，健康、快乐、头脑好。
例3：Liu Xiang, who's a brilliant runner,represented China at Olympic Games.
意群：Liu Xiang, | who's a brilliant runner, | represented China | at Olympic Games.的跑步运动员刘翔代表中国参加了奥运会。
例4：But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense.
意群：But | the most important argument | for a broad education | is that | in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, | we improve our moral sense.但普及教育重要的原因在于通过学习前任所凝结的智慧结晶，使我们的是非道德观得以改善。
意群之间的停顿，根据说话人的情况而定，并非一定要停顿不可。但如有停顿，则必须在意群之间，随意乱停就破坏了语言的节奏。
