Part C Phonetics

Assimilation

语音同化是英语口语发音中一种非常普遍的现象。早期英语中的词形或发音正是由于同化过程转化而来,另有一些词的发音则在语境中发生变化, 或与其他邻近发音合并产生新的发音。了解同化现象有助于提高英语口语表达的流利程度,增强听力理解能力。英语单音在词或句子里受前后音的影响，往往发生变异或同化现象。英语的同化有下列几种情况:

1. 浊辅音变清或清辅音变浊。如: newspaper里news的s原来发浊辅音[z]，受paper 里[p]的影响，读成清辅音[s]。

2. 辅音[t]，[d]后面跟有半元音[j]音，常同化为[]，[]。如: natural, soldier。

3. 辅音的唇形有时发生变化。如: question里辅音[k]受[w]的影响变为圆唇。Part D Grammar

Part E Writing

Writing for General Purposes: The Middle Part of the Composition

Writing Strategy

The body of a written piece is where you elaborate, defend, and expand the thesis introduced in the introduction. The body should support your main contention with supporting evidence and possible objections. A good body presents both sides of a case, pros and cons. As you make your case, save your best argument for last. When presenting contrary views, be sure to set forth the strongest arguments so you can avoid being charged with erecting a “straw man”. The body includes three components: elaboration, illustration and argumentation.

Writing for Specific Purposes: Postcard

In daily life, we sometimes send short messages by postcards to our friends, colleagues and family members. The names and address of the recipient (接受者) are usually on the right side while your message is on the left, with your name under the message. With the popularity of the Internet, electronic postcards are now getting more and more popular. But their form is more or less the same with that of the printed ones.
