With your help, I solved most of them. However there's still some questions I'd like to ask you. Please give me a hand, thanks a lot! A:Weak form: 1. In American English，sometimes I heard the unimportant [i] was pronounced [ə]. Like him, business, homeless and so on. Does it work for "it"? 2. Also, I found Americans pronounce [ʌ] as [ə] in some cases.Like worry, love, hurry and etc. 3. And in the same way, [aʊ] was pronounced [əʊ]，like out， about and stuff. I guess this is so-called weak form, right? And I think mastering it is quite important for speaking native English. Do you think so? B.Linking: 1. We often run into some words like: going on，thinking about，ring up，bring into and something like that. We usually pronunce it ['gəʊɪ ŋɑn]，while I heard some Americans pronounce them as ['gəʊɪ nɑn]. Could u show us the right way to link them? I totally agree what you said in your VIP class, speaking English is pretty like singing songs. It's full of rhythms. Thank you! Sincerely， JackyWu 课堂内容： What am I saying? (Warmup) So we’re going to play a game. I’m going to say something very slowly, syllable by syllable. You guys can say it with me. And I want you to listen and try to figure out what I’m saying. 1. gɪ vɪ mə kɔl we nju ge doʊm. 2. te lɪ mɑɪ mɑn mɑɪ weɪ. 3. te lər rɑɪ toʊl dɪm tə goʊ hoʊm. So what do you think?

Omission: Some sounds give us trouble. They slow us down when we pronounce them and they make it difficult to increase our speed. So we just drop the sound. These sounds are called omission. 2. T-dropping: This is the most common form of omission. We drop the T sound when it’s the end of a syllable and the next syllable begins with a consonant. A. What do you think about this? B. I just want to go home. C. I wasn’t going to eat today. D. I don’t care. E. I can’t do it tonight, how about tomorrow? 2. D-dropping: We drop the D sound when it’s the end of a syllable and the next syllable begins with a consonant. A. I had to go to Taiwan for Chinese New year. B. I need to buy some Chinese children’s books to read. 3. H Silencing: We drop the H sound when it’s the beginning of a syllable and the syllable before it ends in a consonant. A. She handed in her assignment to the teacher. B. I asked him to do it tomorrow. C. Caller?! I barely know her! 周二三四下午2点视频直播：【一直播】英语PK台 微信公众号：【英语PK台】看全文本 京晶抖音：1604401542 趣味英语学习小视频 B站官方：英语PK台 直播精华剪辑

Insertion (Watch video online) 1. Idea 2. Situation Transformation: This is one of the harder aspects of linking. It’s much harder to predict and there are less rules that govern it. Transformation linking is a big change in pronunciation. The change is so different that the sound of the words completely transform from their original pronunciation. Sometimes, the best way to learn transformation is to hone your listening skills and mimic the language that you hear. But there are three kinds of Transformation that we can discuss. Note: This is the only Linking Rule that may violate the 2nd Golden Rule. The number of syllables will change in most kinds of transformation. 2. Contractions: These are easier to understand and far more systematized. It is also taught in schools and recognized by everyone. • Recognized • Can not = Can’t • Do not = Don’t • Will not = Won’t • Have not = Haven’t • They have = They’ve • Partly Recognized • There is = There’s • That is = That’s • this is = This’s • Unrecognized • They would have = They’d’ve = They’d’ve called me earlier but they were busy. • They have a = They’ve’a = They’ve’a nice house in New York City. 3. G-dropping: Words that end in “-ing,”turn into “in.” A. Talking about = I don’t know what you’re talkin’about B. Having a good time = I’m havin’a good time C. Teaching a student = I’m teachin’a student after this show. 4. (T->U = tʃəu ) & (D->U = dʒəu) A. Did you = dɪdʒəu Did you watch the new episode of Game of Thrones? B. Couldn’t you = kʊdən tʃəu Couldn’t you just wait until next week? 5. Commonly-used word combinations: The most commonly heard English is the least clear. Over time, it will have its own kind of pronunciation. These transformations of the English language defy all logical reasoning and are extremely hard to predict. As a teacher, I believe that it’s wrong to answer a student’s question with “That’s just the way it is,”but unfortunately, this is the only answer I can give when students ask about this type of transformation. And so, I hate this type of linking the most. • Got to = gotta • Kind of = kinda • Sort of = sorta • a lot of = lotta e.g. In Beijing, you gotta drink a lot of water. • “Could of, would of, should of,”= “coulda, woulda, shoulda” • Going to = gonna • Want to = wanna e.g. You’re gonna wanna wear a tie tomorrow • What are you doing? = watcha doin’? e.g. Watcha doin’tomorrow morning? 周二三四下午2点视频直播：【一直播】英语PK台 微信公众号：【英语PK台】看全文本 京晶抖音：1604401542 趣味英语学习小视频 B站官方：英语PK台 直播精华剪辑
