Journey to the West
Journey to the West is one of the greatest traditional Chinese novels. It tells a wonderful story about a monk and his three disciples going on a long journey to get Buddhist scriptures, facing many difficulties and dangers along the way. This classic story teaches us that we should keep brave, stick to our goals and support each other when we meet difficulties.
Tang Xuanzang
Tang Xuanzang is a kind-hearted monk. He is gentle, religious and full of kindness to all living things. However, he is a little weak and naive. He often believes bad guys easily and is too soft-hearted to see through tricks. But he never gives up his dream of getting scriptures.
Sun Wukong
Sun Wukong is my favourite character. He is brave, clever and powerful. He has magic skills and dares to fight against monsters and bad people. He is loyal to his master and always protects Tang Xuanzang bravely. Sometimes he is impulsive and stubborn, but he has a strong sense of justice.
Zhu Bajie
Zhu Bajie is funny and warm-hearted. He is lazy, greedy and loves eating and sleeping. He often gives up when facing difficulties. Though he has many shortcomings, he is kind and helpful to his partners.
Sha Wujing
Sha Wujing is hard-working, honest and patient. He is quiet and modest. He never complains and always does heavy work without thinking about himself. He is a reliable partner for the whole team.

简单来说,意群就是一组在意义上紧密相连的词,可以把它理解成一个“语块”或“短语”。 在说话时,同一个意群内的词会一口气连贯地说出,而不同的意群之间则会有短暂的停顿。这不仅能让你的表达更有节奏感,也能帮助听者更好地理解你的意思。
意群
停顿
意群是“内容单元”,而停顿是“节奏标记”。 在朗读时,意群内部要连贯,意群之间要停顿。这个停顿时间很短,用“/”符号表示。句子与句子之间的停顿则更长,用“//”表示。
连读
连读是英语发音的自然现象,能让你的口语听起来更顺畅。最常见的连读规则是“辅音+元音”的连读。
