Speaking: Read Aloud (下)

Read Aloud (下)

個人覺得Read Aloud 最困難係斷句(phrasing)同選擇重音(stress)。
說得困難,斷句同重音沒有標準答案,也沒有簡單系統性規則,要在不停練習中掌握和進步。
(中)篇說過可以留意標點。逗號短暫停頓,句號短暫停頓。有時標點中間句子頗為冗長,係無可能一氣苛成,就可以選擇嚮重音前後換氣。
選擇重音,可以試試找出句子中關鍵詞語。

以呢條RA為例
The Earth just had the hottest month in recorded history, and it’s even worse than normal. The record comes in a run of unprecedentedly hot months. Not only does it break through the all-time record set a year before, it also continues a now 10-month long streak of months that are the hottest ever according to NASA data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculates temperatures slightly different.

第一句
The EARTH just had the HOTTEST month in recorded history, and it’s even WORSE than normal.
第二句
The RECORD comes in a run of UNPRECEDENTEDLY hot months. 
第三句
NOT ONLY does it break through the ALL-TIME record set a year before, it also continues a now 10-MONTH long streak of months that are the HOTTEST ever according to NASA data.
第四句
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculates TEMPERATURE slightly different.

敍體既係一些關鍵字, 我會著重、大聲一點來讀。

如何練習?
坊間有些網站係提供有字幕(transcript)既英文內容。
例如之前介紹過既edx learning, 另外還有TED talk。
大家可以跟transcript讀,然後再聽聽錄音既讀法,比較一下。
多點朗讀不同既材料,錄音和覆聽, 慢慢就會進步。

希望我分享既資訊可以幫到大家。
