打招呼:
Good morning/ Good afternoon, sir/madam.
谈论天气:
It is a wonderful day today.
Wow, it is raining today. I love the rain. It is so peaceful and so beautiful outside.
It's pretty cool today, isn't it?
It's a bit cloudy today, isn't it?
介绍自己:
Nice to meet you!
Nice to see you!
礼貌询问是否可以坐下:
Can I take a seat please?
May I take a seat please?
May I have a seat please?
May I sit down please?
考试中的问题
听懂了考官的问题,第一就是要评论
夸奖他的问题问的好,这样显示他的水平很好:
This is a very good question!
Wow, this is very interesting question!
Well, it's a very tough question.
This is a tricky question.
Thank you for your question. (当老师很正式的,并非打断你的时候用)
没听清楚考官的问题,别猜,问他!
可以直接要求考官重复问题,没关系,千万不要没听懂还要乱猜,请保持镇定(calm),有礼貌的(polite)让考官重复问题:
Would you please say it again?
Would you mind repeating the question?
I am afraid I don't quite catch what you said. Would you please say it again?
听不懂考官的问题,太难,让他换方式来问
可以让考官换方式问,千万别要求考官换问题:
Would you please put it in the other way?
Would you please rephrase it in the other way?
Would you mind putting it in the other way?
考官的问题有点难,你需要思考一下,拖延一下时间
千万别冷场,一定要有些话来拖延,给自己思考时间:
That is really a difficult question for me.
Please let me think it over.
Let me see.
你不需要给出很深刻的解答,只需要有一个简单的观点,给出一个或两个理由支持你的观点就可以了。然后利用考官来配合你接续下去(发招给考官)。
开头语的一些
表达自己的观点要显得很自然,很真诚,下面这些可能会帮助你开始:
To be honest
Frankly speaking
As far as I am concerned,
In my opinion,
From my point of view
Actually,
一些表达情绪的词汇
帮你凸显你对考官的观点和解释已经理解并有反应:
That sounds reasonable.
That is great/fantastic/excellent/…
对考官的观点做出反应
这是接招的第一步,不要让谈话生硬,而是要将从考官到自己的过渡做到流畅,这就需要你首先对考官的观点做出反应, 之后引入自己的观点,然后再"发招"给考官:
表示同意:
I cannot agree with you more.
I totally/completely agree with you.
I keep the same opinion.
We think alike.
表示不完全同意或者不同意:
I am afraid that I cannot agree with you.
Different people have different opinions.
To some degree, I agree with you, but I think we can think in another way.
和考官互动起来
千万不要只顾着回答考官的问题,答完了就答完了,表述完自己的观点和理由,"发招"给考官做互动的用法:
Do you agree with me, madam/sir?
What do you think madam/sir?
Do you have different opinion?
互动循环结构
一共两种,分别是考试的第二部分和第三部分
第二部分,由考官发起,考生接招,给出观点和理由,再发招给考官征求意见。
第三部分,由考生发起,给出观点和理由,再和考官互动起来(发招给考官)。
考试结尾
一定要对考官表示感谢,也可以提出美好祝福,最后再见。
Thank you, sir/madam
Really appreciate your time.
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
See you. Bye. Good bye.
