不用maybe的推测
每次在回答你不确定的口语问题时,或者在做对未来可能性的假设时,不要再用maybe啦。熟练掌握各种推测和想象的表达在回答part2 & 3的问题时不仅能给你加词汇语法分,还有时能为你争取时间想答案。
我们来学习一下下面的几种表示(speculating & hypothesizing) 推测的口语表达:
你可以这样开启话匣子:
It's only a wild guess, but I suppose people might…
Honestly/Truth be told/As a matter of fact,…
现在看一下这道part 1 question我们能如何speculate.
Q: Do you think more orfewer people will read newspapers in the future?
A: In fact, what I'm wonderingiswhether people would be reading in the future. As you might have noticed, newspapercirculation is seemingly at a slowpace in today's society. Instead of monthly or annual subscriptions, peoplewould prefer to go digital as basically everybody has a smart phone or atablet. After all, online media could cover most aspects in one's life, and it's up-to-date by minute, handy and caneven be customized!
对现在的推测:
if I were to…, I would/could/might…
if+主语+had done,主语+would/could/might +have done
这道是part 3的sample:
Q: If you could donate alot of money to any charity, what would it be?
A: I suspect I'd opt for an international charity. It could either be service of medical carefor people below the poverty line or in the developing world, or the charitythat raises educational funds on a global scale. I'd choose them not only because they'd be rewarding causes that could benefit many, but also could be oneof my greatest life experiences.
3. 其他的加分表达:
My guess is that…
It may improve…
In all probability, it's going to be…
It seems likely/unlikely/improbable that...
We'll definitely see...
We should expect to see…
It shouldn't be a surprise if...
Q: Do you think shopping will change in the future?
A: I know we cannot predict thefuture, but it seems quite likely that more people are aligned with onlineshopping probably because of the variety of goods, comparable prices and thefact that you get to cuddle up on the couch while browsing the sites.Additionally, same-day delivery is definitelyon the trend, which could encouragesmore credit card transactions and adds up the profits of online retailers. Also,it would be no surprise that electronicwallet will one day replace the one we carry on the daily basis, and that all banking activities are atour fingertips!
看到了这些能让你在口语里随意换用的表达,有没有说服你们坚定地丢弃maybe呢?活学活用吧!
