要點：

功能詞弱讀：in /ɪn/, my /maɪ→mɪ/, the /ðə/, is /ɪz→z/, but /bət/
句尾 MATter 下降終止，明確收束

句 3（地點對比）

句子：Investment goes to CITIES, not to VILLAGES.

讀法 A（強調「城市」這個目的地）：

核重音在 CIties，末端下降終止
villages 次要、縮短

讀法 B（強調「不是鄉村」的否定）：

stagNAtion 為前段核重音
imPROVES 句尾下降終止

句 8（therefore＋結論）

句子：【BUNDLE】The GAP beTWEEN urban and rural opportunities 【HF】CONTINUES to widen — unless policy makers 【HF】PROVIDE equal funding for schools, healthcare, and digital infrastructure, we’ll see entire communities 【HF】REMAIN trapped in decline.

回饋（90 秒）

回聽今天錄的 8 句，記錄三欄：

欄 1：可理解度阻礙點	欄 2：可修正機制	欄 3：明日最小調整
（例：MOVE/vital 的 /v/w/ 不清楚）	（例：做 5 次 very/wary、vine/wine 對比）	（例：明天所有 /v/w/ 詞標註）
（例：however 前後沒停頓）	（例：however 前後各加 200 ms）	（例：所有連接詞強制獨立語塊）

韻律任務

今天選擇讓以下詞承擔核重音（每句僅一個主核重音）：

句 1：BUSinesses（服務流失）
句 2：imPOSsible（數位落差）
句 3A：CIties / 句 3B：VILlages
句 4A：underrepreSENted / 句 4B：poLItically
句 5：DYing（區域凋零）
句 6：RESidents（惡性循環）
句 7：imPROVES（改善可能）
句 8：deCLINE（警告語氣）

替換任務

保留句型骨架，替換關鍵詞練習其他議題：

城鄉差距 → 數位落差：

urban vs rural → online vs offline
infrastructure → connectivity
young professionals → digital natives
broadband access → device availability

城鄉差距 → 教育機會：

cities → universities
villages → community colleges
investment → scholarships
services → programs
