My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it. When he was younger, he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions they would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. He stated that there was a lot of drinking and cursing on the day of his audition and he did not want to be around that type of environment.

Now who can read this passage for us? OK, Lily, please. Nice try! Anyone else? Jack, you please. Great! Which one do you think is better? Yes, Jack is better. Why? He reads it more fluently and naturally. Actually. Jack pays attention to liaison, which makes his reading much better. Guys, please, look at the blackboard: one of. We can pronounce the words as "one of”.(示范连读)Read after me, one of. Next, told us. We can pronounce the words as “told us”(示范连读) Read after me, told us. You can see it can be better if we read it with liaison, right? OK, now I will play the tape again, and you should read after it.

In English, words are not pronounced one by one. Usually, the end of one word attaches to the beginning of the next word.

1.Consonant & Vowel: Words are connected when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound. My name is Ann. [my nay mi zaen]

2.Consonant &Consonant: Words are connected when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a consonant that is in a similar position. I just didn't get the chance. [l juss didn't ge(t) the chance].

3. Vowel & Vowel: When a word ending in a vowel sound is next to one beginning with a vowel sound, they are connected with a glide between the two vowels. I also need the other one. [ai(y)also need the(y)other one].
