'Pronunciation Clinic' kicks off laaa :)
Hey everyone, My goal is to help you improve your English pronunciation. With a better pronunciation your speech will be much more clear and your interview will go much more smooth. You will land a job easier. All in all, you will make people you talk to understand you. Viva understanding! --------------------------------------------------------------- Among 7 people who came to the free session last night no one knew how to make a short 'i' sound. It was not that they couldn't make that sound; it's that they didn't know how to position their mouth properly.Nevertheless, I am sure that now all of them understand how to make that sound. Again, please notice that pronunciation doesn't euqal the accent. Pronunciation should come first, then the accent. Now 'PRONUNCIATION CLINIC' officially kicks off. Fees: $85 (Your money counts) Goal: Solving common pronunciation difficulties facing the Chinese Duration: 3 Fridays (totally 6 hours, 2 hours every Friday) Time:6pm-8pm Location: Queen Str.E & Jones ( near Queen & Pape) Contact: pleaseyou_69@hotmail.com 416-460-3168 -------------------------------------------------------------- |

"easier" --adj. "It's" -- Present tense. "mouth" -- sigular noun. Hope those are only typos. |

haha, let's duke it out. Just kidding
引用:
1) By 'go', I meant 'become', so the word can be followed by an adjective.For example: The fans go crazy 2)By 'easier', I meant 'You will land a job easier (than before)', so 'easier' here serves as an adverb. How about 'easier(than before), you will land a job'? 3)In 'It WAS not that they couldn't make that sound; it's that they didn't know how to position their mouth properly', do you think that I cannot use "it's"? I think that I have used a pass tense 'was' prior to the "it's" and considering that this is a parallel structure, I picked up a short form, i.e., "it's". Is it alright? 4)By 'mouth' in 'how to position their mouth' I emphasized the MOUTH of the every person, not all of them (for this one, your correction could be right. But I prefer a single noun to a plural noun here) A question to you. How do you translate '他们每一个人的嘴‘ into English? ) I don't expect that you say 'the mouth of the every one'.

hi, Bennie

The following sentence is from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary: 'One of the students has left their book behind.' How do you think? |

But......after checking the dictionary, sometimes you can use smooth as smoothly. ~_~! 2) Agree. 3) I think "It's" is not equal to "It was". 4) I still prefer "their mouths", or "each one's mouth". ^_^! |
