C: Hi, Bryan! It has been a long time since I saw you last time. What are you up to lately?
B: I'm applying for graduate study abroad.
C: Really? Me too. Which country do you want to go?
B: America I have applied for about 20 universities including Harvard.
C: How formidable you are! Why do you choose Aa?
B: I think it's freer in America and it has led the world in higher education. In addition, it is easier to get scholarship. It's very important to me.
C: It makes sense.
B: What about you? I heard that you wanna go to Britain.
C: Yeah. Because I only need to study for one year to graduate. I wanna go to work as soon as possible. Moreover, my uncle lived in London. It's very convenient. And Britain is the place I dreamed about when I was a child.
B: May your dreams come true, and wish you a fantastic future!
C: The same to you. Good luck!
英语笔记
1.此句中formidable 应重读，读的时候要慢一些长一些。
2.important 的尾音与to 的首音发音相同，连读为/ɪmˈpɔ:təntə/。
3./t/与/j/连读后音变为/tʃ/，you 弱化为/jə/，about you发音为/əˈbautʃə/。
4.May 在这里表示“祝愿”的意思。
英语语音语调
节奏——重读慢，非重读快
英语的句子主要是靠句子的重音来控制的。在朗读或说话时，重读的部分要读得重一些、长一些、慢一些，以达到响亮、清楚的效果以示强调;非重读的部分则要读得轻一够 快一些、短一些。如：
I wanna go to work as soon as possible.
How formidable you are!
这两句中，“wanna”，“you are”都不是重点，为了配合节奏一带而过即可。而“go to work”，“formidable”是句子的重点应该读慢一些。
