The letter e, long I or short I, is there any memory trick?

The trick is to be able to identify what is an stressed open syllable (an stressed syllable ending in a vowel or consisting of vowel+consonant+silent e) and what is an stressed closed syllable (an stressed syllable ending in a consonant with only one vowel in the middle).

The letter e is pronounced with a long sound [I:] in the stressed opening syllable, such as me, be, she, he and this.

Pronounce [e], bed, leg and belt all use stressed closed syllables.

The letter I is pronounced with a long sound [AI] at the beginning of the stressed syllable, for example, bike, hi.

The letter I is pronounced short, in, it, think and pig in the stressed closed syllable [I].

English learning methods

First: Speak English with confidence.

English is a language, and the most important thing is to speak it. Many students are afraid to speak when learning English, for fear of jokes. Although they learn well, they become "dumb English". If you want to learn English well, you should speak English bravely and confidently. With slow practice, you will naturally learn English well.

Second: Listen to English often.

English listening is really painful at first. If you don't understand, you can't do it well, just like giving up. In fact, as long as you persist, concentrate and listen carefully when listening, and persist for a period of time, you will have good results.
