为帮助各位考生更好的备考雅思口语考试,小编特整理了雅思口语考官总结考生常见发音错误,希望能够帮助到大家!
1.‘Clothes’
Make sure that you can pronounce 'clothes' correctly. Do not pronounce it as “clo-this”. There are
two correct pronunciations. The pronunciation that most English speakers use is “kləʊez”. This is
hard for many Chinese to pronounce and is even hard for some English speakers and that is why
there is a second acceptable pronunciation. The second pronunciation is “kləʊz”, just as in the
first but you leave out the ‘e’ sound. It sounds the same as ‘close’ in, “Please close the door.”
Similarly, if you can't say ‘months’ as “mʌnθs”, just change the ‘θ’ sound to ‘t’. Strictly speaking, that pronunciation is not correct but it sounds much better than saying “mon-this” (“mʌn-θəs”).
2. ‘Woman’ and ‘women’
Many people mispronounce ‘women’– they confuse it with ‘woman’. Here are the two pronunciations:
woman = /ˈwʊmən/ as in, “one woman”
women = /ˈwɪmɪn/ (Br.) or /ˈwɪmən/ (other than British English) as in, “two women”
3. Graduated’
‘Graduated’ is pronounced with the word stress (重音) on the first syllable: /ˈɡrædʒuˌeɪtɪd/,not /ɡrædʒuˈeɪtɪd/.
graduate This word is pronounced differently, depending on whether it is the noun or the verb.
Here are two more recordings of the verb and noun, ‘graduate’.
verb: to graduate (ˈɡrædʒueɪt)
noun: a graduate (ˈɡrædʒuət)
adjective: “a graduate student”, “graduate studies” (The pronunciation is the same as the noun: ˈɡrædʒuət). Americans usually use the adjective, “graduate” but the British usually use, “postgraduate”. The two mean the same thing.
present participle and verbal noun: graduating
noun: a graduation (ˌɡrædʒuˈeɪʃ(ə)n)
4. .‘Survey’
