1、Rhythm节奏节奏1.Let him go.2.Where do you come from?Read the following sentences correctly.The concept of rhythm英语语流中声音的轻重、缓急、长短按一定的规律自然结合，形成英语语言的节奏。The features of rhythm units and rhythm patterns节奏单位是以一个重读音节为中心，在意义上和语法上紧密联系的几个音节的组合。它有以下几个特点：每个节奏单位包含有且仅有一个重读音节，其余为非重读音节；不论它包含多少个非重读音节，朗读每个节奏单位所花的时间大致相同，为
2、了使每个节单位的时间大致相等，我们不得不把非重读音节读得更快些；一般来说，节奏单位之间存在短暂的停顿。节律模式:在每个节奏单位中，重读音节占用完整一拍的时间，用“O”表示；而每个非重读音节仅占半拍或半拍不到的时间，用“o”表示，He asked me to help him.O O o o O oI must finish my work tonight.o o O o o O o OIts not the one I borrowed from you.o O o o o O o o oThe types of rhythm节奏类型是根据音节，而不是根据我们所熟悉的单词划分的，所以在朗读的过
3、程中需要注意音节的划分。朗读和说话时重读音节要读得重些、长些、慢些，非重读音节则要读得轻些、短些、快些。常见的节奏类型有：Sense Group1).The concept and of sense group一个句子可以按照意义和语法结构分成几个部分，每一个部分称为一个意群。从语义和语法上讲，意群必须是表达某种意义的一个（组）词、一个短语、一个分句、一个主句或者从句。从语调上说，意群必须是可以用降调、升调或平调来朗读的一个语调单位。2)The division of sense group意群在句子中具有语义、语法和语调三种特征。因此，正确划分意群是准确表达的关键。我们可用“|”来划分句子的
4、意群。After school，|my classmates and I|are going to play basketball|放学后，我和我的同学们去打篮球。根据语义划分意群，e.g.Im free.She told me|she has changed her idea.Yesterday|he went to America|by air.Now|I wonder|if he can help me|when Im in trouble.根据句中语法关系划分意群根据句中语法关系划分意群Gas group凡是一口气能说完或者读完的一个句子或句子一大部分的称为一个气群。一个气群通常包括若
5、干个意群，说话或者朗读时气长的人可念完一个很长的句子而不停顿，但最短的气群不得少于一个意群。气群用“”表示，如：1.Both my brother and I|are fond of tennis.2.Which is bigger,|an elephant|or a tiger?3.He read a great deal,|and made full notes|while he read.4.If you had the choice of all the places in the world,|where would you choose to spend our wedding a
6、nniversary?The function and the rules of pause停顿主要是为了使发音更清晰、强调或者只是要缓口气。语音的停顿不是随意出现的，是与意群密切相关的。停顿可以出现在意群中。当一个群体和下一个群体在语法上联系不是很紧密的时候，就可以有稍稍的停顿了。这个稍稍的停顿通常用单竖线“|”标记，比较长的停顿则用双竖线“”。1）由表停顿的标点符号如：“，”“”“；”等隔开的部分，e.g.She is reading,|but her mother is singing.I went to the basketball court;I was told it was cl
