运用不同的声音和语调讲故事

Voice and sound: Make sure your voice is loud and clear. Explore different ways of using your voice for different roles, emotions, etc. Practise the art of the pause — to create suspense, to underline an image, to invite a laugh.

在《Storytelling - 故事教学》中，我们还提到了要运用不同的声音和语调(this is particularly useful in dialogues, to separate different characters) ，以区分不同的人物和情感。比如，一头大象或者是巨人在说话，你就应该让嗓音变粗变低，但是如果是女王在说话，声音就应该提高很多，如果是小仙女在说话，就应该用又细又快的声音。试想一下，你要说We might wake the giant!你应该用什么样的声音和语调呢？当然，应该压低声音，很害怕地说！

下面是LWTE (Longman Welcome to English)一级的Story time – A Good Friend，其中因为有很多个角色，以及角色之间的对话，就很适合老师在讲述的时候，运用不同的声音和语调。Panda的声音要粗一些，说话要慢一些；Monkey的声音要尖一些，说话要快一些；Kangaroo在故事中是主角，也是个英雄人物，所以，声音要清晰宏亮，语速适中；Mimi因为是个小洋娃娃，而且得到了Kangaroo的帮助，所以，声音要细嫩，而且要分别表现害怕和感激的语调……另外，故事中这些玩具都到桌面上去玩了，所以，我在讲这个故事的时候，也特别区分了每个玩具上桌子的动作和声音。

Today is Tim's birthday. Tim is 6 years old now.

Sam and Sandy come to see Tim for his birthday.

Sam takes a birthday cake for Tim.

Sandy gives Tim a birthday card. In the card, it says, 'Dear Tim, Happy Birthday! Love, Sandy'

And she gives Tim a present.

Look at Tim's room.

The children open the cake, and they put it on the desk.

On Tim's bed, there is a doll. The doll's name is Mimi.

On the bed stand, there is a ball, there is a monkey and there is a panda.

And there is dog, it is a real dog. It barks!!
