英语发音为啥难(Difficulties of Learning English Pronunciatio

　　some students are very good at learning english pronunciation. they speak the language beautifully. other students, however, find it difficult to learn accurate english pronunciation. what, then makes the difference?

　　there are, in my opinion, four reasons that account for the difference. first, and perhaps the most significant, was the mother tongue. the closer the student's own language is to english to start, the greater the chance of achievement. secondly, the learner's attitude to pronunciation makes the difference. students who believe in the importance of pronunciation tend to make more progress.

　　thirdly, contacting with native speakers of the language has strong positive effects on pronunciation. fourthly, and possibly the least important, was the student's own natural ability. agoodear and the ability to imitate help, but are far less significant than the other three factors.

　　we can't change the first factor--the mother tongue--but we can control the second and the third. therefore we can have considerable influence over our own progress with pronunciation.
