不敢说我语调练得很好了,但比起自己一年前进步很大。究其原因,第一是有三大法宝:900句,录音笔,AAT。
第二是采用一种鹦鹉学舌亦步亦趋的方式来模仿。尽管我不完全同意原读里的一些语调处理,但模仿的时候力求一致。这个方法的关键,是你一句,我一句;而不是你十五句,我十五句。
模仿得多了,感觉建立起来了,录一篇从来没有听过的课文,再听示范朗读,你会发现你自己对语调的处理,已经有很多地方和示范朗读一致了。
废话少说,上录音。这个是目前最火的第18课。我听了三五遍,练习了两遍,录了一遍,肯定有很多off,吞音甚至发音错误的地方。但是请大家听的,是我对语调的模仿,在你们听来到底有没有模仿到位。
第一个录音,是我的亦步亦趋的模仿。第二个录音,是原读加入空白用来模仿的文件。为了读帖容易,把文本也加在后边了。
