今天老師想幫助我們選擇自己喜歡的口音~~越早決定是走英音路線還是美音路線，你的英語口語之路就越容易走好；集中注意力練習(xí)一種語音，那樣才能更快達成地道英語的目標(biāo)哦！

450)=450"> Here are some things that we think can help you decide:

? Think about which accent you genuinely prefer to listen to. Choosing an accent you like will help motivate you!
想想自己到底更傾心于哪種口音，說自己喜歡的口音才有動力嘛！

? Which accent are you naturally better at? Don't make things harder for yourself by choosing an accent you find really difficult!
想想你天生更擅長哪種口音？別自己給自己找麻煩喲！

? Do you have foreign friends from a particular country? The more you hear the accent the easier you will pick it up.
想想你有沒有什么外國朋友，他們是說啥口音的？聽得越多學(xué)起來越容易~~

? Do you have plans to go to either country in the future, or prefer the culture of one over another?
想想你將來有沒有去到哪個國家的打算，或者自己更喜歡哪國的文化？

450)=450"> Here's what we think are some pros and cons of each standard accent:

BrE

PRO: This is a popular and well liked accent even in America.
優(yōu)點：英音廣受歡迎，倍受喜愛，即使在美國也是哦。

CON: Britain is relatively small and the standard accent actually is only really spoken in the SE of England, and by actors and TV presenters!
缺點：英國相對來說地域比較小，事實上標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的英音只存在于英格蘭東南部，而且都是演員們和電視主持人說的！

AmE

PRO: The US is a large country and the standard accent is very widely spoken.
優(yōu)點：美國是個大國，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的美音到處可以聽見。

CON: It's difficult to find textbooks that actually represent natural spoken American English.
缺點：很難找到教科書是真真正正教授地道美語口語的。

老師們找了一些電視劇集，它們很好地體現(xiàn)了兩種口音及兩國文化，相信大家會喜歡：

? Shows that have a lot of American pop culture are 'Community' and 'Big Bang Theory'. A great funny American writer to check out is David Sedaris.
'Community'和'Big Bang Theory'展示了大量美國流行文化，而David Sedaris則是值得去品讀一下的美國幽默作家。

? There are some funny, imaginative shows in Britain at the moment, one is called 'The Inbetweeners' and is a realistic, humorous look at teenagers. Another is called 'Misfits' showcases a good range of accents across Britain. Nick Hornby's book 'About a Boy' is a good piece of writing in British prose.
當(dāng)下有些有趣的、充滿幻想色彩的英劇，其中一部叫做'The Inbetweeners'，它用現(xiàn)實而幽默的視角審視年輕人。另一部叫做'Misfits'，它展現(xiàn)了大不列顛各地的各種口音。Nick Hornby所著的'About a Boy'一書是英國散文中的佳作。
