A: When are you going to take a trip to Italy?
B: Well, I have been preparing for that for a long time and I think it will be in next month。
2. “UHMM”這個詞也是美國人超級愛用的語氣詞。發(fā)音時就是發(fā)出“啊”的音之后再閉上嘴繼續(xù)“木”音。通常情況下,這個詞用來告訴聽話者:“我正在思考你所提出的問題”例如:
A:Are you gonna be availalbe this Sunday afternoon?
B: Uhmmmmm… I am not sure and please let me check my schedule。
3. “It's like…”美國年輕人超級愛使用這個句式,有時候它被用來打比方但是更多時候是用來打比方同時拖延思考時間。例如:
A: How was the show on Sunday?
B: Uhmm, it‘s like…it‘s like the one we saw together last year。
4. “I mean”這個是我們考托福口語時的殺手锏,因為有很多的考生在回答問題時,說著說著就跑題了無法自圓其說。為了防止這種現(xiàn)象的出現(xiàn),我們要迅速反應(yīng)拉回話題。這時候我們就要用“I MEAN”例如:
A: Would you please tell me more about your former university?
B: Oh,yes,sure, I went abroad when I was a junior and came back one year later.I transfered to another school right after I came back. Oh, I am sorry, I mean I do not really know that much of it.
5. “YOU KNOW”這個我想大家都非常熟知。雖然表面意思是“你知道的”但是更多時候說話者使用了這個詞之后馬上就要繼續(xù)闡述自己的觀點。例如:
A: What would you like to have?
B: Well,you know,like always,Orange Chicken!
除了這些語氣連接詞以外,我們還有好多方法拉長我們的語氣以贏得更多的托福口語備考時間,例如轉(zhuǎn)折詞but 和連詞and,當我們使用它們時,我們完全可以這樣發(fā)音“but ummmm”和 “and ummmm”這樣我們就可以獲得充足的時間進行思考從而完美的說出下面的具體內(nèi)容。
