你的英语也能变得洋气的小秘密

瞬间充满欧美范儿

雅思考试中，口语部分让中国考生十分头疼，雅思口语更成为多少烤鸭们拿到高分的拦路虎。其实，要想让自己的雅思口语变得洋气起来，也不是特别难，只需要学会口语技巧或者地道表达方式，便能分分钟高大上起来哦。

雅思口语技巧1：转折用though替换but

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.

Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different, though.

雅思口语技巧2：多用副词

exactly, basically, really这样的副词可以加强或者缓和语气，更准确地表达我们的真实想法。

例如：

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.

雅思口语技巧3：使用从句增色语言

使用简单不易出错的同位语从句，

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.

雅思口语技巧4：强调句式用起来，增加语法的广度

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.

雅思口语技巧5：用tend to替换most of

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.

雅思口语技巧6：避免过多使用very

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”.

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

雅思口语技巧7：形容词前加副词

这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，

例如：

She's shockingly beautiful.

It's an outrageously expensive meal.

雅思口语技巧8：避免生硬地说NO

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!

雅思口语技巧9：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。

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)
