音标学习：双元音

/ai/ price/white/quite/ride/fight/mind

/ei/ hate/waste/game/snake/plate/shame

/Ci/ boy/soil/choice/join/noise/employ

price 价格 white 白色的 quite 相当 ride 骑 flight 战斗 mind 介意

hate 狠 waste 浪费 game 游戏 snake 蛇 plate 盘子 shame 害羞

boy 男孩 soil 土壤 choice 选择 join 加入 noise 噪音 employ 雇用

这几个音标叫：合口双元音

双元音即由两个元音组成的音标，发音时注意嘴形的变化，其特点是：

1、前重后轻

2、从第一个音滑到第二个音

make/lake/take/sake/wake/snake/shame

line/time/price/ride

cat /kAt/

late /leit/

发音规则小结：

五个元音字母在单词中处于倒数第三位的位置，并且单词的末尾是e ，则这五个元音字母都发其字母音。

开音节/闭音节

在单词中发它本身的字母音就叫开音节，发其它音的就是闭音节。

动词的重读闭音节就是所谓的元音字母不是发它本身的字母音。
