（2），对发音的帮助 歌曲时而快时而慢的节奏对发音的要求比较高，而歌词连读、略读、重读等现象的经常出现，对英语学习者的发音会有很大帮助，比如以下一段歌词： it takes a lot to know what is love it's not the big things， but the little things that can mean enough a lot of prayers to get me through and there is never a day that passes by i don't think of you you were always there for me pushing me and guiding me always to succeed you showed me when i was young just how to grow you showed me everything that i should know you showed me just how to walk without your hands 'cause mom you always were the perfect fan god has been so good blessing me with a family who did all they could and i've had many years of grace and it flatters me when i see a smile on your face i wanna thank you for what you've done in hopes i can give back to you and be the perfect son you showed me how to love you showed me how to care and you showed me that you would always be there i wanna thank you for that time and i'm proud to say you're mine 'cause mom you always were， mom you always were mom you always were， you know you always were 'cause mom you always the perfect fan i love you mom 这是一首不错的英文歌曲，是“后街男孩”唱给他们妈妈的，说她们才是自己最好的歌迷。 这段文字是在一段舒缓流畅的音乐中唱出的，发音标准饱满，而且极好模仿。从模仿这些歌曲开始，会对地道口语的培养有很大的帮助。 同时，这首歌的歌词写的也很有深意，像一首抒情诗。 下面就以这首歌曲中的一些口语要点的分析——它们同时也是地道英语中不可缺少的要素： “it's not the big things， but the little things”此句中的两个“THE”同是弱读。
