英语的发音习惯，这包括英语的发音规则如连读、失去爆破、清辅音浊化等现象，以及英语语调与汉语语调的区别等。掌握好英语的发音规则和语音现象，如连读、弱读、不完全爆破、停顿、声调和句子重音等。这就需要从根本上改变我们错误的发音习惯，小到元音、辅音，大到弱读、连读、失去爆破等等。平时多查字典，多读正确的音标，掌握正确的发音规则，可以参考市面上有关语音的材料或参加语音辅导班。纠正语音最行之有效的方法就是跟读磁带。可以找诸如《新概念英语》（最好是第三册），或者四、六级听力中最后的段子题的文字材料，放一句录音，然后大声朗读该句。如此坚持，既可以达到矫正自己发音的目的，同时还可以培养自己对英语的敏感度。

Only 如果能再爱一次


Ian Wyndham


(Nicholls) is a British Businessman who lives with his musician


girlfriend, Samantha Andrews (Hewitt) in London. Ian takes Sam


forgranted making Sam feeling vulnerable in the role of the one who


loves more. Taking us through a day in Ian and Sam's life, the film


opens by showing different events such as Sam getting burnt on a


kettle, Ian's watch breaking, Sam getting Coca-Cola spilt on her


and Ian being interrupted by Sam during an important meeting at


work.


As the day progresses


we see Sam gets in a passing taxi and as Ian tries to get in beside


her he notices that the driver is the same man who he traveled with


earlier that day. The man gives Ian an ominous smile and as the


clock hits 11 PM, Sam closes the door, leaving Ian standing there.


As he watches the taxi drive away, Ian makes one last attempt to


reconcile with Sam and runs after the taxi as it stops at a traffic


light. Before he gets there, the lights change and the taxi begins


driving again. As it speeds up, the taxi is struck violently by


another car and comes to a stop on the middle of the street. Ian


halts and falls on his knees in shock...

engaging in unconventional activities.

clean off heroin, and saves up money on the side. His happiness is

dramas to him...
