怎样让人觉得你英语棒

ess all that in fluent english? of course not. forget it. instead you should respond with something like, "oh, how can i put it?... just so-so. just okay. i liked titanic better." the listener won`t have any idea what you really thought of the movie, but will be impressed with the casual ease with which you express your opinions in english, and will also be impressed that you know phrases like "just so-so.".

  okay, that`s about all. this should give you a good start. remember this important principle in life: the appearance of ability is more important than actual ability itself. if they think you can do it, you`ve got the job. if they don`t think you can do it, it doesn`t matter what your actual ability is. so learn to fake it, and you`ll go much further than your hard-working friends.

  老外直言:如何让人以为你英语很棒

  我们都知道学英语很难,要学几年甚至几十年才能掌握。如果有一种方法能让别人以为你的英语很棒可又不用下苦功夫,那该多好啊!在过去的几年里,我总结出一套让中国人以为我的汉语很棒的窍门,我想在此和中国朋友分享它们。虽然这些窍门是在我学中文的过程中总结出的,但我发现它们同样适用于中国人学英文。掌握这几个小窍门吧,你的英语会在一夜之间突飞猛进!

  1.首先要学习英文。你会说这是废话,不错,我是在开玩笑。但是,说真的,这些窍门要想发挥作用,至少要有基本的英语能力。良好的发音是第一位的,这会让你的表达收到

  90%的效果。如果你的发音———尤其是元音字母的发音非常准确,母语是英语的人们就会忽略你的语法小错误和所用的怪词。

  2.采取一种放松的、不紧不慢的说话方式,这样人们就会认为你是天生的慢性子。当然你也不必显出弱智的样子(虽然这样也有一定的好处),但慢慢讲话会让人以为你就是那种说话字斟句酌的人,这一点可是有用,这会给你充分的时间去思考。让别人觉得你有点迟钝,总比发现你的英语其实很糟糕要好。

  3.让别人来补充你所需要的单词。这种方法就是在你讲出某个关键词之前做一个小小的停顿,这个词你有可能拿不准,但是以英语为母语的人可以毫不费力地根据上下文猜出这个词。人家完全知道你想要说什么,而且急着将谈话继续下去,就会提醒你或者说出这个恰当的词。你要掌握好时间,在他们刚一说出之后,你立马就重复这个词,似乎你也正要说这个词,这会让他们感觉很好,因为这使他们觉得自己比你聪明(人们感到自己比别人聪明时,都会非常得意的。)结果谈话就会是这样子的:
