在句子里要用到but 的时候,我们可以用though来替换,瞬间档次就会提高了,比如说:
His life is not happy. He is rich, though.
We went there. It was raining, though.
例如exactly, basically, necessarily这些副词可以加强或者缓和语气,同时也可以给我们一个缓冲和思考的时间里,更准确的表达我们的真实想法。例如:
That is exactly what I want to talk about today Tell me exactly where he is. Basically speaking, I think the advertisements are beneficial to people’s life.I do not think it is necessarily the case.
使用从句使得自己的口语表达更加高大上,当我们对使用的从句把握不大的时候,不妨试试不是特别容易出错的同位语从句,比如说:
We heard the news that the Chinese team won the Olympic champion. The fact that the money has gone does not mean it was stolen.
强调句式用起来,增加语法的广度,例如一个经常用到的句式:
It is widely acknowledged that we are living in a competitive and fast-pacing society.
当你想说most of… 的时候,不妨改口成tend to,瞬间就会让你的口语出彩。例如:
With the development of the technology, people tend to shop online.
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
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.
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。)
“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)
