Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

   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
bbs.zikao5.com/ B2 I8 D1 m$ t! F3 ^. S
not speak foreign languages very much better than they do their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true

nature of the problems of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far 我自考网( zikao5.com )' l- G+ j" E; ^/ F3 y. l$ ^

too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill——one that needs careful training of a 我自考网( zikao5.com )0 v1 R/ K" \4 C/ g; C

special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. $ I+ K+ z+ R7 ?+ ?+ n5 e

   I think, even teachers of language, while recognizing  the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect the

branch of study concerned with speaking in their practical teaching. So, the first point I want to make here is that the

teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to the teaching of English pronunciation. There should bbs.zikao5.com7 @- W/ ~" T( z
