Accent problem

Those accents in IELTS listening

In fact, various accents have their own characteristics. For example, the British accent has a clear pronunciation and a fixed tone. Just like a gentleman, it is introverted and calm. American accent is casual, sometimes the tongue rolls a few notes and then swallows it, and the tone fluctuates frequently.

Although there are great differences between British and American accents, the most obvious difference between American and British accents in IELTS listening is the difference between R-roll tongue sounds and vowels:

For example, in English, the r after vowels does not roll, while American sounds roll every r, and the English pronunciation is/? /and/? :/place, basically become similar to/? /and/a sounds:/

For example, caution sounds a bit like "cut", while the normally pronounced letter A of /A:/ in English sounds is biased in American sounds. The voice of

For example, class, ask and advance, American consonants are vague, and unvoiced consonants are easy to be voiced. The word letter can be easily pronounced as ladder.

Australian accent sometimes sounds inexplicable. Although it is similar to the British accent of members of the Commonwealth, there are two main differences. First, /ei/ will be issued as /ai/. There is a very popular joke about Australia about this.

Indian English is also very strong. Indian boys speak English fluently and at an amazing speed. There are no tongue curls, stops and unvoiced consonants.

It is not so funny when these interesting accents are mixed together in the exam, because the mixed accents greatly increase the difficulty of the listening exam, and it is even more difficult for us to choose the answers we want from strange accents. So how should we face such a situation?

First of all, mentality is very important.

If you want to play a good hand, you must play well along the cards in your hand and practice repeatedly with high intensity to create a pair of harmless ears. Usually watching movies and chasing dramas, in addition to paying attention to lucky rolls and house of cards, you can also watch the three fools make a scene in Hollywood and pay attention to Bollywood.

Secondly, examination skills are also very useful for distinguishing English accents in IELTS listening test.

Like predicting the answer. Taking time to read the exam questions can judge the context of dialogue and monologue, infer possible dialogue scenes, and of course help to guess keywords, so the probability of making mistakes is small.

If some accents are difficult for you to distinguish, the dialogue is not in the right state at the beginning. Don't be nervous. One of the characteristics of an English speaker is that he likes to repeat information.

In short, the IELTS listening test does not need to be implemented in every word and sentence. Don't be nervous, it's most important to focus on the key points. No matter how many accents there are, isn't it still English? Let's rock!
