练口语常去英语(论坛)角,最常规的练习方式就是问答互动式法(Q&A),而今天要介绍的就是如何利用这样的方法和原则来最大程度的提升口语练习机会。
技巧一:准备一些问题
有的放矢的去英语角,这点已经毋庸置疑了,除了准备一些材料之外,还要懂得准备问题,因为毕竟不是所有人都对我们准备的材料感兴趣,或者从另一个角度说,如果通过提问将话题引到我们准备的材料上,给人感觉非常自然,即使他不是很感兴趣,也会在早期比较配合我们的对话,也就给了我们锻炼的机会。否则的话,就会出现以下的情况:
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: I don’t know. It’s up to you.
A: I can talk about everything.
B: Me too.
A: So what shall we talk about?
B: Whatever you like. So what do you like to talk about?
A:…
两人无言,只有泪千行。但是如果我们有所准备或者考虑,情况可能就完全不一样。比如,我们所熟悉的材料是关于广告的,那么要设计一些广告方面的问题,一般三个就足够了,具体的对话可以是这样的:
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: Well, I would like to ask you a few questions if I may.
A: Sure, go ahead.
B: Have you ever been annoyed by those commercials between TV series when you are desperate to know about what’s going on next?
A: Yes. It spoils the whole evening sometimes.
B: Have you ever been bothered by those junk commercial messages during midnight when you are just about to have a sweet dream?
A: Well, yes.
B: Have you ever been confused by those booming advertisements or commercials so that you can hardly decide which one to follow and which product to buy?
A: I agree.
B: Then it is high time that we should prohibit commercials during golden hours…. (然后加入自己所准备的话题和内容)
