The second element, pitch, is related to the highness or lowness of the sounds. High pitches are, for most people, more difficult to listen to, so in general speakers should use the lower registers of their voice. During a presentation, it's important to vary pitch to some extent in order to maintain interest.

## 句子翻译
第二个元素:音高——与声音的高或者低有关。高音调,对大多数人来说,听起来更困难,所以通常演讲者应该使用他们声音的低声部。在演讲期间,重要的是变化音高,在某种程度上是为了维持兴趣。
## 托福口语跟读难点解析
从以上现象我们可以看出,这些语音现象会使语速听起来很快,这也是同学们进行跟读训练的难点所在。因此,大家在跟读之前,需要把这些语音现象先标记出来,自己对照着音频先练习,之后再跟着音频跟读整个段落。这样,大家的口语水平才能有所提高。
## 托福口语跟读知识点梳理
### 词汇及短语
pitch n. 音高
register n. 音域
maintain v. 保持,维持
### 失爆
顾名思义,指爆破音失去爆破。发生的条件如下:当前面的单词以[p][b][t][d][k][g]这六个爆破音中的任何一个结尾,而紧随其后的单词是以辅音开头的,这时前面单词中的爆破音失去爆破。读法是在发爆破音时只阻塞气流却不将之释放,说白了就是只作口型不发音。
发音示范:

以上就是托福口语语音训练的相关内容。同学们在前期要注意学习每种发音规则及其技巧,在练习的过程中注重质量;后期在熟练的前提下提升语速。长此以往,大家的口语水平一定能够有本质的提高。
