So … （那么……） 请注意“o”这个元音拖长，结合语调用来表示感到无聊。
I’m really good at:（我非常擅长……） “Really”（真地，确实地）的意思相当于“very”（非常，很），在这里用来强调“good”（善于）。它放在形容词前。
What do you:请注意这里的发音，听上去是“Whaddaya”。
Hmm …表示说话人正在思考。在表示不同意某种看法时，也可以作出这种表示。
How about（如果……怎样？）用来提出一个试探性建议。说话人是在提建议，但不想显得太强势。
Let’s （让我们来……吧。）用来提出一个很确定的建议。说话人对提议感到很有把握。
Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that!（嘿，是吗？那我们就走着瞧吧！） “Oh, yeah?”是以玩笑的口吻表达一种友善的挑战。请注意对“that”一词的强调，意指前面提到的“good at spelling”（擅长拼写）。
