句子重音 在一个句子中，常常只有一部分单词是重读的，其余的虽然在单独读时有重音，但在句子中却不重读，这种现象叫句子重音。
1、十种词类中，名词、动词（助动词和动词to be有时例外）、形容词、副词、数词、感叹词一般要重读，而代词（指示代词、疑问代词例外）、介词、冠词、连接词一般不重读。
2、动词be的各种形式，即使是作为主要动词，一般也不重读，但如果出现在句尾，一般要重读。 3、动词be与not相结合时，如isn’t, aren’t要重读。 4、单音节的介词一般不重读，双音节的介词一般要重读。如after, beside等。
5、在上句中使用过的一个词，在下一句中紧接着再度出现，这个词往往不重读。 6、如果为了对照而强调句中某一个单词，这个单词要特别重读，而句其余单词的重音减弱，或失去重音。
Five Hundred Times In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to his honor that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes. A wild gleam came into the judge's eye. "You are a school teacher, eh?" said he. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."

My Dreams I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”
