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,立马洋气了许多!
例如:Our team lost. It was a good game, though. Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different, though.
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! Where are you going exactly? So basically, there’s not a lot I can do about it. The more expensive articles are not necessarily better.
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. Despite the fact that she was wearing a seat belt, she was thrown sharply forward.
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.
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。
“广谱”的褒义词:就是经常说的fantastic,awesome,terrific,fabulous,fascinating。“广谱”的贬义词: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,magnificent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,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. 同学们在回答考官问题的时候,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 long time?
-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. 考场上“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?”来让考官重复问题,你完全可以用它来确定一下自己的理解是否跟考官的问题吻合。
