10个助你掌握英语口语的诀窍
很多人认为缺乏英语环境,掌握一口地道的口语十分困难。但世上无难事,只怕有心人,只要平时注重口语积累,掌窍握口语诀,将口语说的洋气并没有那么困难。那么今天就从这10个小知识点做起吧!
1. 当你想说but来转折语气,不妨忍一下,然后在句子后面加个though,立马瞬间洋气了许多!
例如:
Our team lost. It was a good game, though.
我们对输了,不过这只是一场游戏喇。
Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different,though.
中年人都喜欢在家煮饭,而年轻人嘛,就有点不一样呢~
2. 多用副词,例如exactly, basically, really这些副词可以加强或者缓和语气,更准确的表达我们的真实想法。
比如:
That's exactly what I want!
这正正是我想要的!
Where are you going exactly?
你到底要去哪儿呢?
So basically, there's not a lot I can do about it.
说到底,我也没有什么可以做的。
The more expensive articles are not necessarily better.
越贵的东西也未必越好。
3. 简单不易出错的同位语从句可以为你的语言增色不少哦!
例如:
People are now aware of the fact that many restaurants are not that hygienic.
人们现在都很注意餐厅是否卫生这件事情。
Despite the fact that she was wearing a seat belt, she was thrown sharply forward.
尽管她已经扣安全带了,她还是被重重的抛到前面了。
4. 强调句式用起来,也会增加语法的广度哦!
例如礼物类话题的万年句式:
It doesn't matter how expensive the gift is, it's the thought that matters.
重要的不是礼物有多贵,而是心意!
5. 当你想说most of… 的时候,不妨改口成tend to,词汇量有没有显得多一些!
例如:
「Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out.」 就可以说成「Chinese people tend to cook at home.」
6. 口语答案里面呢,要有意识的尽可能抛弃very,一种方法是用pretty替代,另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。
例如:
That performance was pretty impressive.
I m pretty sure about that.
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传神的形容词,例如:tipsy = a little drunk
7. 提到形容词,我们可以先把他们分成两类:褒义、贬义
·那“广谱”的褒义词就是经常说的fantastic,awesome,terrific,fabulous,fascinating
·“广谱”的贬义词呢,就是awful,terrible,horrible 等等
当我们在形容好东西坏东西的时候,当然可以用这些词,不过其实对于具体的事物,是有相应的形容词来搭配的,就像我们中文里,“景色真好”和“景色让我心旷神怡”文采是不一样滴!所以,平时注意积累这些形容词,会给你加分不少。
例如:
形容食物:delish,inviting,mouth-watering,scrumptious 等等
形容风景:picturesque,breathtaking,magnificen 等等
8. 形容词前加副词,也是不错的应急措施哦,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吧!
例如:
She s shockingly beautiful.
It s an outrageously expensive meal.
9. 同学们在回答问题的时候,其实自己也觉得说个No很伤感情,那怎么能用比较不伤感情的语言表达同样的意思呢~
下面的几句可以记一下:
-Does your school have diving classes?
-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 had the experience when you watched the sky for a longtime?
-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 love nature?
-Well, not really. I m more of an indoor person.
注意,每一个yes or no之后,一定要加原因哦!
10. “mean”要用起来,“I mean”可以用来解释刚刚自己抛出去的话。
比如,在解释自己最不喜欢的电影的时候可以说:
That movie was so boring, I mean, nothing happened for the first hour!
这个也可以有很灵活的变体:and by… I mean…,
比如:
He has a gorgeous wife, and by wife I mean mistress.
(此例子完全为了解释用法…)
“You mean…?”该句式是为了跟考官check information,如果你不想用“I'm sorry?”来重复问题,你完全可以用它来确定一下自己的理解是否跟问题吻合。
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 quite catch it.
不好意思没听清,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,此时无论考官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)
