一般来说，相邻的两个单词属于同一意群时，前一词末尾的某些音素和后一词词首的某些音素，可能会连起来读。
连读会使我们说的英语更加流畅、悦耳。但是,连读应是在一种快速语流中自然形成的现象，而不是为了连读而去连读。
1. 辅音+元音: 相邻的两词中，前一个以辅音结尾，后一个以元音开头时，一般将辅音和元音连起来读。
eg: not at all work it out
turn it off Please pick it up
连读
常见的几种连读情况：
3. 元音+元音:前一个单词以/i/或/i:/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头时，添加/j/后连读；前一个单词以/u/或/u:/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头，添加/w/后连读。
eg: I agree.
Go out.
/aij ɡri /
/ ɡ w a t /
2. 辅音字母r或re+元音:前一个词以-r或-re结尾，后一个词以元音开头，此时r或re要发/r/音，并与其后的元音连读。
eg: for us and for ever here and there
for instance Where is it
Read this part of the poem “If-” written by British poet Rudyard Kipling(拉迪亚德·吉卜林). Notice the linking sounds. Then mark the linking sounds after the model.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
Repeat the poem after the recording.
1.Read the listening material aloud.
2.Prepare an oral presentation about “An introduction of a historic site”.
