Part 2 Pronunciation and intonation
发音讲解
So,in the sentence,pay attention to the pro-nunciation of these parts.
在这一句中，注意以下部分的发音：
1.Pay attention to"willing"/ˈwiliŋ/,"i" is pro-nounced as/i/,don't make it sound like"wheeling"/ˈwiːliŋ/.
1.注意 “willing”/ˈwiliŋ/的发音，“i” 发/i/，不要发得像 “wheel-ing”/ˈwiːliŋ/。
2."Help you out" is blended,with a/w/sound before "out".
2.“help you out” 连 读，“out” 前有一个/w/的音。
3.The two "t"s in "got to" are merged,and we often just say "gotta"/ˈgɑːtə/.
3.“got to” 中两个 t 连读为“gotta”/ˈgɑːtə/。
4.The "t"s in "but" and "put forth" are not pronounced.
4.“but” 和 “put forth” 中的t不发音。
5.“little” 中的t发/t/的音而不是/d/。
5."Little" is pronounced with the/t/sound in-stead of/d/.
现在，我们重点看看语气和语调。
Now,let's focus on tone and intonation.
1.重读 “willing” “you've”“effort”。
1.These parts are stressed:"willing" "you've""effort".
2.逗号后停顿。
2.Always pauses after a comma.
3.Say it with some compassion because you really want your student to improve.
3.说这句话时语气中应当充满感情，因为你真诚地希望学生的学习能有所提高。
Now,practice,and you will learn to say this sentence like a native speaker.
现在，多加练习，你就能学会像英语母语者一样说这句话了。

（ someone） puts forth effort（某人） 付出努力
"Putting forth effort" means working,at least a little bit,to accomplish something.You can use this phrase to react to someone who doesn't try hard at all.
