雅思口语考试中常见的发音错误

为帮助各位考生更好的备考雅思口语考试，南京新航道雅思频道特搜集整理了雅思口语考试中考生常见的发音错误，希望能够帮助到大家!

1.‘Clothes’

Make sure that you can pronounce 'clothes' correctly. Do not pronounce it as “clo-this”. There are

two correct pronunciations. The pronunciation that most English speakers use is “kləʊez”. This is

hard for many Chinese to pronounce and is even hard for some English speakers and that is why

there is a second acceptable pronunciation. The second pronunciation is “kləʊz”, just as in the

first but you leave out the ‘e’ sound. It sounds the same as ‘close’ in, “Please close the door.”

Similarly, if you can't say ‘months’ as “mʌnθs”, just change the ‘θ’ sound to ‘t’. Strictly speaking, that pronunciation is not correct but it sounds much better than saying “mon-this” (“mʌn-θəs”).

2. ‘Woman’ and ‘women’

Many people mispronounce ‘women’– they confuse it with ‘woman’. Here are the two pronunciations:

woman = /ˈwʊmən/ as in, “one woman”

women = /ˈwɪmɪn/ (Br.) or /ˈwɪmən/ (other than British English) as in, “two women”

3. Graduated’

‘Graduated’ is pronounced with the word stress (重音) on the first syllable: /ˈɡrædʒuˌeɪtɪd/,not /ɡrædʒuˈeɪtɪd/.

graduate This word is pronounced differently, depending on whether it is the noun or the verb.

Here are two more recordings of the verb and noun, ‘graduate’.

verb: to graduate (ˈɡrædʒueɪt)

noun: a graduate (ˈɡrædʒuət)

adjective: “a graduate student”, “graduate studies” (The pronunciation is the same as the noun: ˈɡrædʒuət). Americans usually use the adjective, “graduate” but the British usually use, “postgraduate”. The two mean the same thing.

present participle and verbal noun: graduating

noun: a graduation (ˌɡrædʒuˈeɪʃ(ə)n)

4. .‘Survey’

The word, “survey” can be either a noun or a verb.

Noun: survey /ˈsɜ:(r)veɪ/ Stress on the first syllable.

Verb: survey /sə(r)ˈveɪ/ Stress on the second syllable. Or: survey /ˈsɜ:(r)veɪ/ Stress on the first syllable.

We see that the verb can also be spoken using the pronunciation of the noun. But the noun neverhas the verb pronunciation.

5. Industry’

Industry’ is pronounced with the word stress on the first syllable: /ˈɪndəstri/.

Notice that the second syllable is pronounced as ‘də’, not ‘dʌ’.

However, the adjective, ‘industrial’ is pronounced as /ɪnˈdʌstriəl/.

6. “technology”相关单词

Another common mistake is to say, “technique” when you really mean, “technical”. Although these two words come from the same ancient Greek word ('techne' = art, craft, skill), they are now quite different in meaning and in pronunciation.

Technology [tekˈnɒlədʒi] 科技

technological [teknəˈlɒdʒɪk(ə)l] 技术 (上) 的

technical[ˈteknɪk(ə)l] 技术的

technician[tekˈnɪʃ(ə)n] 技术人员
