Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill one that needs careful training of special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branching of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place. Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge, the second, technique.
It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such picture, any comments he may make on his students' pronunciation are superficial.
What is it that teachers are said to be inclined to forget？
In the 18th century many British politicians favored friendship with Prussia because they
Most plants can make their own food from sunlight,【C1】______ some have discovered that stealing is an easier way to live. Thousands of plant species get by【C2】______ photosynthesizing (光合作用), and over 4:00 of these species seem to live by pilfering sugars from an underground【C3】______ of fungi(真菌). But【C4】______ in a handful of these plants has this modus operandi been traced to a relatively obscure fungus. To find out how【C5】______ are【C6】 ______ , mycologist Martin Bidartondo of the University of California at Berkeley and his team looked in their roots. What they found were【C7】______ of a common fungus, so【C8】______ that it is found in nearly 70 percent of all plants. The presence of 'this common fungus in these plants not only【C9】______ at how they survive, says Bidartondo, but also suggests that many ordinary plants might prosper from a little looting, too.
Plants have【C10】______ relations to get what they need to survive. Normal【C11】______ plants can make their own carbohydrates through photosynthesis, but they still need minerals. Most plants have【C12】______ a symbiotic relationship with a【C13】______ network of what are called mycorrhizal fungi, which lies beneath the forest【C14】______ . The fungi help green plants absorb minerals through their roots, and【C15】______ , the plants normally【C16】______ the fungi with sugars, or carbon. With a number of plants sharing the same fungal web, it was perhaps【C17】______ that a few cheaters —dubbed epiparasites-- would evolve to beat the system.【C18】______ , these plants reversed the flow of carbons【C19】______ it into their roots from the fungi【C20】______ releasing it as "payment".
