Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and __1__ few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, __2__ some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very better than they do is that __3__ they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize __4__ that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that__5__ needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. __6__ I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the__7__ language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to __8__ devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject he should get the student to feel that here is a matter worth of receiving his close ttention.__9__ So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, __10__ such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take a secondary place.

2. about→for.reason與介詞for搭配，表示“……的原因”?？荚嚧?BR> 3. very better→very much better.very不能修飾形容詞的比較級，只能用much,far, very much, a lot, any, no, rather, a little, a bit修飾。
4. by→in.by the way：順便說一下；in the right way：以正確的方式，又如：in your own way：以自己的方式。

7. concerning→concerned.be concerned with：關(guān)于，如：The book is chiefly concerned with history.concerning作分詞用，意為“涉及到”，此處不僅詞義不當(dāng)，而且concering后絕不能加with.考試大
8. may→should.may表示推測、請求、允許或祝愿：should表示義務(wù)、建議、驚奇、推測等。這里講的是老師的義務(wù)，故應(yīng)該為should.
