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，比如exactly, basically, really这类副词可以加大或者缓和语气，更准确的表达大家的真实想法。譬如：
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. 简单不容易出错的同位语从句可以为你的语言增色不少哦!比如：
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，比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.
5. 当你想说most of… 的时候，可以改口成tend to，词语量有没看上去多一些!比如：
Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out. 就能说成Chinese people tend to cook at home.
6. 口语答案里面呢，要有意识的尽量抛弃very，一种办法是用pretty替代，另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。比如：
That performance was pretty impressive.
I’m pretty sure about that.
还有instead of saying “very angry”, you can use the word “furious”.
那同理，假如大家想表达a little + adj.，也可以找到相应的更传神的形容词，比如：
tipsy = a little drunk
7. 提到形容词，大家可以先把他们分成两类：褒义贬义。
那“广谱”的褒义词就是常常说的fantastic，awesome，terrific，fabulous，fascinating。“广谱”的贬义词呢，就是awful，terrible，horrible等等。
当大家在形容好东西坏东西的时候，当然可以用这类词，不过其实对于具体的事物，是有相应的形容词来搭配的，就像大家中文里，“景色真好”和“景色让我心旷神怡”文采是不同滴!所以，平常注意积累这类形容词，会给你加分不少。比如：
形容食物：delish，inviting，mouth|watering，scrumptious等等。
形容风景：picturesque，breathtaking，magnificent等等。
8. 形容词前加副词，也是很好的应对手段哦，假如实在想不到高端大气上档次的形容词了，就用一个副词来加大一下情感吧，比如：
She’s shockingly beautiful.
It’s an outrageously expensive meal.
9. 同学们在回答考官问题的时候，其实自己也感觉说个No非常伤感情，那如何可以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.
我不了解。
|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。
|Do you love nature?
|Well, not really. I’m more of an indoor person.
注意，每个yes or no之后，必须要加缘由哦!
10. 考场上“mean”要用起来。
“I mean”可以用来讲解刚刚自己抛出去的话，譬如，在讲解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!
这个也可以有非常灵活的变体：and by… I mean…，譬如：
He has a gorgeous wife, and by wife I mean mistress.
“You mean…?”该句式是为了跟考官check information，假如你不想用“I’m sorry?”来让考官重复问题，你完全可以用它来确定一下我们的理解是不是跟考官的问题吻合。
注意：一般如此问，是已经理解了八九不离十，假如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? 不好意思你能把语速放慢点儿不?
Sorry, can you rephrase the question, please? 不好意思你能讲解一下刚刚的问题不?
OK，以上就是常见的能使大家的口语答案听起来地道的小技巧，大伙记得用起来哦!祝每位考生成功跟雅思分手!
