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。
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
tend to,词汇量有没有显得多一些!
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。
That performance was pretty impressive。
