Speaking Mandarin well is the most direct way to improve one's temperament. Speaking standard and fluent Mandarin can not only make your voice sound pleasant, but also make you more confident in language expression and communication. What needs to be emphasized here is that many people have a misunderstanding when practicing tongue twisters, thinking that tongue twisters are "the sooner the better". The faster tongue twisters are spoken, the smarter they are. In fact, on the contrary, practicing tongue twisters is a gradual process. If you don't master the correct method, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Here are some tips for practicing tongue twisters: 1. Choose a targeted tongue twister to practice. The pronunciation problem of each tongue twister is different. For example, the familiar tongue twister "Eight Hundred Pacemakers Run North Slope" is a kind of lip twister, which mainly solves the problems of weak lip pronunciation and unclear articulation. Therefore, when practicing this tongue twister, we need to pay attention to the role of lips in pronunciation and emphasize the elasticity of lips. Only by practicing tongue twisters in this way can we speak fluent and standard Mandarin better. & ltimg src = "/50/v2-d 60295476 faeace 54 CBF 8 f 0a 04573995 _ 720 w . jpg？ source = 1 940 ef5c " data-caption = " " data-size = " normal " data-raw width = " 575 " data-raw height = " 364 " data-default-watermark-src = "/50/v2-ba 4 e 5048093233372977 f 5 cc FBA 4 c 22 b _ 720 w . jpg？ source = 1940 ef5c " class = " origin _ image zh-light box-thumb " width = " 575 " data-original = "/v2-d 60295476 faeace 54 CBF 8 f0a 04573995 _ r . jpg？ Source= 1940ef5c"/>2. From slow to fast, you can practice one by one after selecting a targeted tongue twister. Here I suggest that you practice tongue twisters in groups every week or month, which will have better results in a short time. At the beginning of practice, we must pay attention to two points: slowness and exaggeration. When I teach students, I will let them read tongue twisters in the most exaggerated way at first. In this way, when reading aloud, we can slow down and enlarge the pronunciation process, emphasize the standard mouth shape of the words, and fix a "mold" of the word pronunciation from the source, so that we can practice it again and reach the standard pronunciation and intonation. Some people may ask, if you exaggerate when practicing, will your speech become rigid and unnatural? "The Art of War" said: "Seek it and get it; Seek it and get it; If you ask for it, you will lose something. " In fact, the training process is also like this. For example, if an athlete wants to get good results in the 800-meter race, then he should run 1600 meters in normal training. The same is true of language practice. Language habit is a subconscious reaction gradually formed when we begin to learn to speak, so if we practice it without exaggeration in training, it will be difficult for us to get rid of the past habits when applying it in our lives. 3, combined with breath, develop good pronunciation habits. Professional pronunciation training must be combined with breath training. If tongue twister training is a "model" to help us standardize pronunciation, then breath training is to consolidate every pronunciation we make according to the "model". Just like pouring cement into a sculpture, a stable breath is a powerful guarantee for a mellow and beautiful pronunciation. Therefore, when we master tongue twister pronunciation skills, we can combine breath training to achieve better results. Let's take lip tongue twisters as an example: (V is the vent) The first time is slow: 800 pacesetters run north slope, and V guns run side by side. V artillery is afraid of touching V pacesetter and artillery guns. The second time was uniform: 800 pacesetters ran north slope, and artillery ran north side by side. V artillery is afraid of touching pacesetters, and pacesetters are afraid of touching artillery guns. The third time was a little faster: 800 pacesetters ran north slope, and the artillery ran north side by side. The artillery did not dare to touch the pacesetter, and the pacesetter did not dare to touch the artillery gun. V finally, it's the same old saying: persistence! As long as we take the time to practice, we are all "good voices of China"!
