第三篇：英语小知识
1开音节
1）以发音的元音字母结尾的音节。例：be，he。
2）以辅音字母（r 除外）+不发音的e结尾的音节。例：make，like。
* 在重读的开音节中元音字母按字母名称读音。
2闭音节
以一个或几个辅音字母（r 除外）结尾而中间只有一个元音字母的音节，称为闭音节。例：map，desk，is。
* 在重读的闭音节中元音字母读做短元音。
字母a，e，i，o，u 在重读音节中的读法
字母 名称 位置 读音 举例
a /ei/ 开音节 /ei/ name，take 闭音节 // map，bag e /i:/ 开音节 /i:/ be，he
闭音节 /e/ egg，best i /ai/ 开音节 /ai/ like，kite
闭音节 /i/ bit，fit o /ou/
开音节 /ou/ note，no
闭音节 // dog，lot u /ju:/
开音节 /ju:/ mute，use
闭音节 /Λ/ bus，cut 开音节有两种：
一种是在重读音节中元音字母之后没有辅音字母，叫绝对开音节。
如：go no me paper
另一种是 在元音字母之后有一个辅音字母（r除外），而后面又跟上一个不发音的元音字母e，叫相对开音节。
如：home name face 在重读开音节中，元音字母一律读它的字母音，即长音。
以一个或几个辅音字母结尾（r除外），而中间只有一个元音字母的音节叫闭音节。在重读闭音节中，元音字母一律读它的短音。
开音节和闭音节之间的区别就在于二者结构不同,发音不同。一般来说，单词后几个字母结构为元音字母+辅音字母+e时，元音字母发开音节，即读字母本音，而其中的e不发音，如take,blame,name,等单词中的a，此种情况称为相对开音节；字母直接在最后或最后只有一个e，则往往发其本音，如hi,blue（其中u读/u:/）,等。
一般说来，单词最后几个字母的结构为元音字母+辅音字母时，元音字母读其闭音节,一般来说，a读/@/，e读/e/，o读/o/，i读/i/，u读/u/或/^/，如bad,big,peg,humbug,block等.当然还有很多特殊情况。

一般说来，单词最后几个字母的结构为元音字母+辅音字母时，元音字母读其闭音节,一般来说，a读/@/，e读/e/，o读/o/，i读/i/，u读/u/或/^/，如bad,big,peg,humbug,block等.当然还有很多特殊情况。
一．BINGO游戏
先让学生在本子上画九个格，每个格内填写一个听道的单词或字母，最后当老师念完后，老师选3个单词念出来，只要学生把这3个单词填写在一条线上，便可win the game,得到一个BINGO。该游戏适合单词，字母教学。
二、讲故事游戏
让每个学生说一句话，然后组成一篇短文，再偶笔头能力较强的须生作好笔记，选出口语最好的演讲出来，生动形象。
三、词汇教学游戏
词汇是语言的三大要素之一，是语言的基本材料，它犹如建筑物的砖石，没有了词汇，任何语言都是难以想象的。
1、单词接力赛
将学生分成A、B两组，每组人数相等，每组的第一个同学在黑板上写出一个单词，本组的第二个同学以第一个单词末尾的字母开头，烈军属出第二个单词，且不能与写过单词重复。看哪一组在规定的时间内写的单词多，拼写错误少，字迹工整则为优胜者。例
如
：Mondey-yellow-what-tail-long-glasses-spin-nest-they-yes-small……
2、找颜色
老师说出某物体名称，然后要求学生说出该物体的颜色，并且说出一个完整的句子。
例如：老师说：The trees学生说：The trees are green。
4、快速拼读游戏
老师说出一个字母，让一个学生口头说出5个此字母开头的单词，反应迅速，发音正确取胜，奖励他说出另一个字母，由其指定另一个同学讲出另外5个单词，讲不出者被罚下，另找一名同学回答，答对者，往下做，但作为词头的字母不能重复出现。例：A：an，and，angle，are，ask…… B：box，book，big，black，breakfast。
5、单词竞赛
将学生分成几组，教师按分组数目在黑板上划成几个格，一组占一格。然后教师提出单词比赛的范围和要求：
例如：写动物名称：cat，dog，mouse，elephant，monkey，panda，cook，fish，hen……
写人体部位：head，arm，leg，foot，hand，eye，ear，mouth，nose。写水果名称，写表示颜色的名称，学习用品、表示时间自然物体和现象的词、人物动物、不可数名词等。
此游戏的目的是帮学生有意识地将单词及其词类分门别类地学习，归纳和记忆。
6、反义词的游戏
将学生分成A、B两组。A组的一个同学说出一个单词，B组的第一个同学给出该词的反义词。第二个同学接着往下做，中间出现冷场或做错了反义词，扣一分，最后算总分，然后两组互易角色，最后全班把所有的词做一总结，由教师写在黑板上。例：good-bad wrong-right long-short
四、听力理解游戏。
在语言的学习中，听懂别人的谈话甚至比表达自己的思想更难。许多学生能用英语表达自己，但却听不懂对方讲话。听力理解游戏的目的是训练学生呼懂别人的讲话内容，抓住别人讲话内容中的主要意思的能力。在听力训练中发展学生的听觉能力和反应能力。
1、西蒙的命令。
教师在黑板上用简笔画画出西蒙，介绍西蒙的英语名字叫simon。在听力训练中由他发出命令。当大家听到“Simon says，'stand up'！”大家立即站起来，“Simon says，'sit down'！”大家就坐下。否则什么也别做。若谁做错了，就暂时退出游戏，不犯错者为赢。例如：“Simon says'Touch your head''hands on the desk'！”
2、草图游戏
这是一个训练听觉能力的游戏，老师让同学们拿出纸笔，然后播放录音内容。学生可以根据录音内容以草图去画，物体以方或圆块表示出来，在广场或圆块中写出该物体的名称。例：Let's draw our school/classroom.This is our classroom.Twenty-five desks are in our classroom.A blackboard is on the front wall.A teacher's desk and a chair are in the front of the classroom.There are six windows on the wall.Two doors are opened.Three letters 'A、B、C' aer on the blackboard.这种游戏既练习了听力，又复习了方位介词短语的用法。请一至两名学生把草图画在黑板上。
经过上面介绍的几种课堂游戏教学后，学生学习的情绪会大大提高，增强学习英语的积极性。挖掘出学生的个性，使学生的能力进一步提高，活泼的课堂气氛大大提高学生主动学习的积极性，从而奠定了学习英语能力的良好基础，顺利完成教学任务。Fast Words 首字母
The class is arranged into rows.The first person in each row is given a piece of chalk.The blackboard is divided into sections.No more than six teams.同学们做成排，每排第一个人拿一支粉笔，黑板分成几部分。（不多于6部分）
The teacher calls a letter and the students must write as many words as they can beginning with that letter, in the allocated time.Their team-mates can call out hints, but be warned, this is very noisy.老师说一个字母，同学要在黑板上写出尽可能多的以这个字母开头的单词，同组的同学可以暗示但不能说出声来，因为这样会很吵。
Next, the second member gets the chalk and goes to the board and the teacher calls out a new letter.接着，第二个同学拿粉笔到黑板前，老师说一个新的字母。
The team with the most correct words is the winner.写出最多单词的小组获胜。
2.Word Association 单词联想（关联）
The teacher starts the game by saying a word, such as “Hotel”.老师说一个词开始游戏。比如hotel（宾馆）
For example:
Teacher: Hotel Student A: Bed 床
Student B: Room 房间
Student C: Service 服务
Student D: Food 食物
Student E: Restaurant 饭店 Student F: Chinese 中国的As you can see, any association is ok.你可以看到，所有的联想（关联）都是可以的。
If the student can't answer(5 second limit)he or she must stand up.The last student seated is the winner.如果一个学生不能在限定的5秒内回答出来，他（她）就要站起来，最后一个坐着（坐到最后的）的同学获胜，If the association is not obvious, the student is asked to explain the association.如果关联不是很明显，就要要求学生解释这个关联。
3.Chinese Whispers 轻声传话
Divide the class into even rows.把班级学生分成若干组。
The last member of each row(at the back of the class)is taken out of the classroom.A “key” letter, word or sentence(depending on level)is given.让每排最后一个学生（在教室最后）到教室外面去，告诉他们一个关键词或关键句。
The students run back inside, and whisper the “key” to the next student in their row.It is whispered down through the row until the last member writes it on the board.他们同时跑回教室轻声传话给自己一排的同伴（因为不能给别排的同学听到），直到最后一个同学（其实是第一个）把那个关键词或关键句写到黑板上。
The first student to write it correctly on the blackboard is the winner!最先写在黑板上并且正确的那个组获胜 英美发音之差异
k.k.音標是註明美式英語的讀音，而國際音標IPA是註明英式英語的讀音。
英式發音與美式發音主要的差別在於母音的唸法。
元音：
英语和美语的发音最大的区别之一在它们对浑元音（schwa，音标中的倒写e，）的处理。英语中，浑元音在单元音中常通发生在一些非重读的短音a（如about）和短音er（如computer）上。美语中的er很少为浑元音，并有时对短音i（如sentimental,actuality）和u（如wuss），甚至短音的oo（如：hooker）采用了浑元音。（这四个例子在英语中的发音分别为[i], [i], [u:], [u]）浑元音的读音是不定的，但是听起来差不多像一个急促的介于“俄”和“啊”的发音。
英语和美语的发音最具代表性的区别是对er的发音的不同。英语中，短音的er是如上所述的浑元音，但长音的er也不过是个拉长了的浑元音，听起来是一个很夸张的介于“俄”和“啊”的声音。而美语中，er听起来怎么都是个“儿”音（例外是一些俗语中发成浑元音）。
ar：除了轻读短音（如singular）和者后连元音（如clarity），英语的ar全部清一色的长音[a:]，而美语中，是“阿尔”。事实上，凡是有r在一个音节尾部的时候，美英发音通常都是不一样的，如tour(英：吐啊，美：吐儿)，tear(英：踢啊，美：踢儿)，pair（英：pe啊，美：pe儿）。甚至在刚才提到的clarity中，英语['kleriti],美语['kle儿r(er)ti]
元音的发音中还有一个比较重要的区别。一是[o]音：短音的o（如often），英语中发音仅仅为一个缩短了的长音o（如or），而美式的短音o听起来和英语的短音[/]很像，同时长音o后面如果有r都通常像上一段里说的那样儿化了，没有的话（如plausible, applause）就自动变成了一个短音的o的发音。
辅音： 英语的辅音和美语的辅音是基本一样的，但在使用习惯上有些差别。比较重要的也只有以下两个：
/r/ 在詞尾時表示美式英語通常都發/r/音，但在英式英語中，只有後面一個單詞是以母音開始才發這個音。在做辅音时，其实差别也就是当r在第一个词的词尾，而第二个词以元音开头，英语把r完全当作元音处理，而美语会把r连读当作后面一个词的开头元音的辅音，如词组clear animosity，英语会读成clear|animosity，而美语会读成clear-ranimosity。
另一个比较明显的区别是d和t。在一部分非重读音节中(如paddle，rattle, actuality)，英语会清楚地发音这两个字母，但在美语中d和t常常会被模糊成一个很难解释的音，跟其它的语言比较，如果你知道西班牙语或者意大利语，它跟短弹音r很接近;如果你懂日语，那么らりるれろ行的辅音很像。如果你都不知道，那么最接近的解释就是边音l了，但是差了那么一节，就看你自己体会了。
还有一点，history, factory这些词，大家可能都发现o的发音（是一个浑元音）在很多音标标注中都是打了括号的。在英国，英语受文言文的影响喜欢省略这个o，而在美国，这个o常常是发了音的。（如果大家对文言文或者诗歌感兴趣，会发现很多浑元音的字母是用一个单引号'表示的，表示省略）[/b] 语气：
英国人的语气抑扬顿挫，语调高亢，和法语颇有几分类似（不过他们是不会承认的），并且英国人嘲笑美国人说话有气无力，松散无韵律。
美国人说话相对比较稳重低沉，句势通常呈降调，并且速度慢一些。美国人则爱嘲笑英国人的语气的轻微的歇斯底里，女里女气的说法。
其他：
澳洲口音：澳洲口音和英国口音大部分很像，不过澳洲人发[ei]音全部发成[ai]，也就是，即使他们最常用的词儿mate,都说成[mait]（像might）。
埃及口音：埃及口音的英语听起来和埃及口音的阿拉伯语很像。另外，用弹音发r也被使用。
印度口音：印度口音和英国口音比较相似，带了些泥巴味儿，不过现在的印度人开始倾慕美国口音了（印度人特崇洋媚外，排的电影全是关于在发达国家的富裕美丽年轻的印度移民）。
香港口音：没有对香港同胞污蔑的意思，不过香港口音听起来和粤语差不多，发音非常的重，同时带了英国口音的味道。很多人发不出th音，说不出three就说free.南非口音：没听过。
英国乡土音：英国自己的口音都众多，不过共同的特征是h常常不发，并且连音特多。
美国北方口音：以夸张的o音出名，如talk, walk, off, coffee这四个词，纽约市人会发成：twok, wok, woff, kwoffee（这里的o均为长音“喔”）。
美国南方口音：以把[ai]发成[ae]为最大特称，如I'd like a light beer,南方人会说成ae'd laek a laet beer。同时说话慢条斯理
1、发音稍有不同，楼上的同学已经说了很多了。
2、词汇有些不同。如：秋天（英英）autumn(美英）fall 电影（英英）film（美英）movie 假期（英英）holiday（美英）vacation 一楼（英英）ground floor（美英）first floor 我认为（英英）I think(美英）I guess
3、拼写有些不同
如：颜色（英英）colour（美英）color 中心(英英）centre（美英）center 游客（英英)traveller（美英）traveler
总的说来，区别差异不是很大，以上说的区别都是可以忽略不计的。

The easiest question in the world one day , a rich man met Sam.the rich man asked , “ I`ve heard you are very clever and nothing is difficult to you.Can you tell me why you are so clever.” Sam answered, “I`m not clever, but you are too silly.” The rich man became very angry.Sam said, “Sir, please don`t be angry, if you don`t believe what I said, let me ask you a question now.If you have a group of sheep, I give you another group.How groups of sheep do you have?” “Why, that`s the easiest question in the world, one and one is two.Anybody knows that.I have two groups of sheep.” Sam laughed and said,“ You are wrong, sir.two groups of sheep put together is still one group.That is easiest question in the world.”

Why do I want to go to college? Why do I want to go to college? No one asked me such a question.But many times I have asked myself.I have come up with a whole variety of reasons.The most important reason is that I want to be a better man.Many things make human beings different is education.If i fail to receive higher education, my education will not finish.As I want to be a fully developed , I must get a well-rounded education, which good colleges and universities are supposed to provide.I know one can get educated in many ways, but colleges and universities are among the best places to teach me how to educate myself.Only when I am well-educated, will I be a better human being and be fit into society.四
Children should not have to do heavy work It is not a good idea for children to have to work hard.Children should study in school as hard as they can.They should not have to do heavy work with their bodies.When parents or others force children to work hard, the results are never good and may be very bad.A farmer`s son who has to work hard like a man may early learn to hate farming.Children sometimes do too much work in gardens, in shops or even in their own own homes.They soon begin to hate such kind of work with force that can destroy their happiness.But there may be a worse loss: a child`s love for his parents.The feeling may become something different.When that happens, the old kind of love never returns.五
The effect of the blood group on personality Your blood group hides no secrets, it shows the “real you.” If you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well.Blood group A are the thinkers,while blood group B are highly creative, people belonging to blood group B might be good at painting and writing.And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them.Your blood group could affect your work.So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.六
Dogs People often say that a dog is man's best friend.Over thousands of years, man has taught his dogs to do many kinds of work besides guarding the home.For example, sheepdogs are famous for their ability to control a flock of hundreds of sheep.Dogs have been used to aid disabled people for centuries.A guide dog can lead its blind owner.Nowadays, dogs can be taught to turn on light switches, open refrigerator doors and dial the telephone for their disabled owners.For the majority of people, however, dogs are simply pets and friends for both young and old members of the family.guard 看守，看护

狗 人们总是说狗是人类最好的朋友。几千年来，除了看家外，人类还教会了狗去做许多其他的事，例如，牧羊犬就因其可以控制数百只羊的羊群而出名。
狗用来帮助残疾人已有好几个世纪了。导盲犬可以为盲主人引路。现在，人们还教狗为残疾主人打开电灯、开冰箱和拨电话。然而，对于大多数人来说，狗只是家里老人和孩子们的宠物和朋友。

A Joke— “I stand corrected”
I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time.It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out.For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went.Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right.A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans.“So,”I said, ”You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg.He just looked at me and said, “I stand corrected.lean 倾斜

The Hare and the Tortoise
One day a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run.”I can beat anyone!“cried he.”Will one of you try a race with me?“ ”I will,?said the tortoise.“You!?laughed the hare.”Oh, oh, how funny!? “Save your laughing for the end of the race,?said the tortoise.So a starting line was made, and away they went.The hare ran fast and was soon far ahead, so he sat down to rest.By the time the tortoise came up, the hare was sleeping.On and on went the tortoise, and when the hare looked up at last, it was too late.There sat the tortoise by the sign that said: The End.hare 野兔

他们划了条起跑线，出发了。兔子跑得飞快，很快就跑到了前面，所以他坐下来休息。等到乌龟赶上来时，他睡着了。
乌龟一直往前走，当兔子最后醒来时，已经太晚了。乌龟坐在一块牌子旁，上面写着： 终点。

The Eagle and the Raven An eagle was trying to break open a nut in his beak when a raven landed on a branch beside him.The raven eyed the nut hopefully, ”You'll never break it like that,“he said.”If I were you I would fly up in the sky as high as I could, then drop the nut onto the rocks.It's the only way you'll get at the kernel.“ The eagle flew up into the sky, then let the nut fall down, down, down to the ground.The raven hopped quickly from his branch and seized the nut in his beak.By the time the eagle had found his way back to the right place, all that was left was a broken piece of shell.eagle 鹰

beak 鸟嘴
land 着陆

鹰飞向空中，然后让坚果落下，落下，落到地面。渡鸦飞快地跳离树干，叼住了坚果。当鹰寻旧路折回时，地上只剩下一些破碎的果壳了。

Two Goats on the Bridge
One day a goat started to cross a little bridge.At that very minute, another goat started out from the other side of the bridge.When they saw one another, they knew that one of them would have to go back.“Go back!?cried the first goat.”Where is no room for you to pass here while I am crossing.“ ”It is you who must go back!?cried the other goat.“You can start again after I cross over.?The first goat said as he was in the right and would not give way.”We will see!“cried the other goat, and they started to fight.In another minute, the two goats fell into the water.A man who was fishing saw the fight.He laughed as he pulled the goats out of the water.”You see,?said he.“When everyone thinks he is right, something always goes wrong!”
goat 羊
give way 让步
两只山羊在桥上
有一天，一只山羊开始过一座小桥。就在同时，另一只山羊从桥的另一头开始过桥。
当他们看到对方时，他们知道他们中的一个必须得退回去。“回去！”第一只山羊喊道，“我过桥的时候没有地方让你过去。” “是你必须回去！”另一只山羊叫道。
“我过去以后你再开始过。”第一只羊说。他觉得自己是对的，所以他不肯让路。“我们走着瞧！”另一只山羊喊道，然后他们开始打起来。很快，两只羊都掉到了水里。
一个正在钓鱼的人看到了这场争斗。他笑着把山羊从水里拉了出来。“你们看，”他说，“当每个人都觉得自己是正确的时候，就一定会出事！”
