什么是句子重音？

我们在朗读英语或用英语交谈时,并不是句子中的每个词都读得一样响亮,一样清楚,而是有些词读得或说得又轻又快,而且较为含糊,有些词则读得或说得又重又慢,而且较为清晰。那些读得或说得响亮而清晰的词就是句子重音所在。

句子重音的功能

1. 体现句子的节奏感和韵律感；

2. 突出重点, 使听者更容易理解。

哪些词在句子中需重读？

一般来说, 在句子中需重读的词都是实词, 比如: 名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词、代词等。不重读的多为虚词，比如: 冠词、连词、介词、感叹词等。如:

1. The streets are wide and clean. (这句话中的streets是名词,wide 和

clean是形容词, 它们都要重读; the, are, and不重读。)

2. I am so glad to see you again. (这句话中的so, glad, see, again 要重读,

而I, am, to, you不重读。)

有时候虚词也要重读, 以下几点需注意:

1）强调或突出某个虚词或be动词时, 应将其重读。如:

We saw him playing by the river. (这句话中的we和him一般不重读,

但为了表示强调也可以重读。比如, 如果we重读, 则强调是“我们”而不

是别人看见。)

2）介词在句首时往往要重读。例如:

On my way to school, my bike was broken. (这句话中的on 在句首应

重读。)

3） be动词及助动词和not结合时要重读。如:

I’m sorry I can’t do that. (这句话中的can’t要重读。) Didn’t I tell you yesterday? (这句话中的didn’t要重读。) 4）句子末尾的be动词和助动词一般要重读。如:

─ Are you a student? ─ Yes, I am. (这里的am要重读。)注意: 上文刚出现过的并且重读的单词, 第二次提到时一般不再重读，如:

─ How many boys are there in the room?

─ There are twenty boys in it. (问句中的boys 要重读, 但答语中boys 不重读。)

Writing:

1.Writing for General Purposes: How to write an outline

Writing Strategy

A descriptive essay is a text that presents a detailed image of a person, place, or thing. This is done through the use of descriptive language—adjectives and adverbs—and the incorporation of images that incorporate several of the body’s senses. A desc riptive essay is typically a form of personal writing because it presents its description through the perception of a single person—typically the writer. However, a descriptive essay differs from a narrative essay because its main focus is on describing a person or thing, not on telling a story.

The point of a descriptive essay is to present a specific image in the reader’ s mind—to allow the reader to see a scene or thing as the writer does. To do this, a writer must be very precise and detailed. An important aspect of descriptive essay writing is the order in which the writer chooses to describe a thing or scene. The image is usually built from general to specific, which is easier for the mind’s eye to imagine. A good descriptive essay will also attempt to incorporate as many senses as possible in order to present the most complete form of the entity being described
