1.不定冠词a和an的区别
a用在以辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前;an用在以元音音素开头的单数可数名词前。判断一个单词是以元音音素开头还是以辅音音素开头,要根据其读音,而不是根据其首字母。如:a horse、an hour、an apple、a university。
2.发音为元音音素开头的字母
26个字母中发音为元音音素开头的有12个,它们分别是a、e、f、h、i、l、m、n、o、r、s、x。例如:
There is an “m” in the word “map”.
巧学妙记
1.巧记不定冠词a和an的区别:
冠词a、an两种帽,许多名词常需要;
开头读音若是元,要把an帽来戴好;
辅音起首用a帽,记住规律别乱套。
2.巧记不定冠词的用法:
不定冠词两变体,用a或an都表“一”。可数名词首次提,何人何物不具体。某类人、物任一个,有时还要表“每一”。

I looked at the words on the page. I knew how to say them, but my mouth wouldn't work. It was my 1 first class in this new school, so nobody here knew me. My teacher just asked me to read the text aloud. 2 whole class was waiting for me silently. I could even hear my heartbeat.
I just sat there. Seconds passed. Some students started to laugh. “What's 3 wrong with her ” one boy said. “Maybe she can't read at all!” said 4 another student.
“Just open your 5 mouth and speak!” I told myself. I tried to speak the words out. But the first step was always 6 hardest. The teacher was waiting. More of my classmates were making 7 fun of me. I wanted to hide under my desk. I soon felt tears running down.
I often faced situations like this, because I had a stuttering (结巴) problem. Because of this, I often felt embarrassed (尴尬的) at school.
Thankfully, I met 8 great teacher, Mrs. Brown. She never rushed me when I was trying to talk. She helped me to relax when I was speaking, and would always wait patiently for me to finish my sentences.
Mrs. Brown offered me 9 most encouragement. She always let me know that my stuttering problem didn't mean I wasn't smart. She said, “Your brain is moving too fast, and your mouth just can't keep up!” Those simple words made me feel loved and encouraged.
Great changes happened to me. When I entered high school, I almost stopped stuttering. In college, I had no trouble at all. As 10 child, I never imagined that I would become a teacher just like Mrs. Brown, passing love and care on to my students.
