6口语技巧:避免过多使用very
在口语中,very这个词已经很多人在用,为了避免随大流,我们可以用pretty来代替。例如:
I am pretty sure about the news that an accident happened near our school yesterday.I think it is pretty strange.还有instead of saying “very angry”,you can use the word “furious”。那同理,如果我们想表达a little + adj.,也可以找到相应的更生动的形容词,例如:tipsy = a little drunk
7口语技巧:形容词前加副词
如果实在想不到高大上的形容词了,就用一个副词来加强一下情感,例如:
It is extremely difficult for me to finish this task.He is intellectually strong but physically weak.
8口语技巧:避免生硬地说NO
同学们在回答问题的时候可能会觉得直接地说出一个否定的答案会使得自己的答案过于绝对,因此可以采取一些比较委婉的说法,比如说:
-Are there any foreign students in tour class?-Not that I'm aware of, no.(至少)我不知道。(潜台词:可能有,不过我不知道。)-Have you ever stayed up all night playing with your friends?-Not that I can think of, no.我想不到。(潜台词:可能有,不过我暂时想不到,暂时记不起来。)-Do you like hanging out with your friends?-Well, not really. I'm more of an quiet person。(注意,在回答yes 或者no 的问题时,不应该只说一个yes 或者no,应该用一两句话解释一下原因。)
9口语技巧:考场上要学会用“mean”
“I mean”可以用来解释刚刚自己发表的观点的原因,比如,这个也可以有很灵活的变体:and by… I mean…,比如:
I do not like colorful clothes, I mean, those clothes make me look childish.He has a gorgeous wife, and by wife I mean mistress. (此例子完全为了解释用法…)
“You mean+个人对问题的理解…?”该句式可以在考官向你提问后,你为了向他确定自己对问题的理解是否正确的时候用。这样的话,我们就可以避免使用pardon, I’m sorry等让考官觉得你是没有听懂提问的词语。
注意:一般这样问,是已经理解了八九不离十,如果真的完全没听懂问题,请用以下句式:
Sorry, I didn't really get your point. 不好意思我没有太懂你的意思,能在重复一下子不?Sorry, could you slow down, please? 不好意思您能把语速放慢点儿不?Sorry, can you rephrase the question, please? 不好意思您能解释一下刚才的问题不?(就是问题里面有生词,此时无论别人repeat几遍问题,你也不可能懂,所以需要麻烦他rephrase改述一下问题)
