In their free time they see the country, meet the people, and have discussions about world problems and problems of the region where they are working. At the same time, those young people working in a foreign country can learn the language of the people who work with them.

    理論知識:卷舌音
    在美式英語中,有大量的卷舌音。這一點(diǎn)和英音有很大的差別。比如,are 英音:/a:/ 美音:/a+r/;還有像hard / card, bird / teacher / first, swear, sorry,four…如果在單詞中出現(xiàn)字母r一般都有卷舌的現(xiàn)象。
    不過,要注意的是,單詞for中,由于for一般是作為輔助的單詞,所以,從來不是按字典中那樣發(fā)音/ /,而是輕讀為/ f /。此外,像window很多人也卷舌,這樣是不對的。如果把window也卷舌,不就成了widower?所以,請大家一定注意。
