let’s get started even though there’s a

dude I’m about Guinea hi everybody

welcome back to ask Alicia the weekly

series where you ask me questions and I

answer them

maybe first question first question this

week comes from I’m on hi again I’m on

I’m on says what is the use of definite

article the we use the with a singular

noun to refer to a specific instance of

that noun so when you’re telling a story

we’ll often introduce the first instance

of a noun with a and then after that

we’ll use the to refer to the specific

instance of that thing so for example a

simple story I was walking down the

street and I saw a dog the dog was

really cute I pet the dog so in that

situation when I introduce a dog in the

story the first time I talk about the

dog in the story I use a to introduce it

then after that I use the to refer to

that specific dog that I introduced

earlier in the story every other time

that I want to talk about that same dog

I use the before it so use the word the

when you need to refer to a specific

noun or when you have to refer to a

specific group so for example the

teachers in the school district went on

strike so specifically we’re talking

about teachers in a specific school

district the teachers went on strike the

mothers at the PTA meeting organized a

bake sale it’s a specific group that is

defined by something else so in this

case the mothers at the PTA meeting only

the mothers that were at that meeting

not the mothers from a different group

for example so we use the two to talk

about a specific instance of something

next question next question comes from

Johnny hi Johnny you wrote a very long

message thank you very much for watching

there’s a slang expression that I’ve

heard several times and don’t understand

well I know right using I know

right it’s like an invitation then for

the other person to agree again

really I know right so think of I know

right as like an even stronger like even

more emphasis on the agreement and an

invitation for the other person to agree

again I know right it’s like yes and you

agree too don’t you next question comes

from Zafar Ahmad Zafar amok hi the far

asks about two sentences okay one have

you ever cried in a film - have you ever

cried at a film my question is about the

preposition in or at which sentence is

correct and explained the reason of

course that would explain the reason

let’s take a look at the first one have

you ever cried in a film this is

actually a point where the differences

between British English and American

English might come into play a little

bit have you ever cried in a film could

have a few different meanings depending

on the situation if for example you were

speaking to an actor and you say have

you ever cried in a film meaning when

you were in a film when you were acting

in a film did you cry at any point in

time so have you ever cried in a film it

could also mean have you gone to watch a

movie in a movie theatre and cried at

the movie theatre or in the movie

theatre your second sentence have you

ever cried at a film so using act shows

like the direction of an emotion like we

use it with other emotions as well like

my mom is mad at me or my dad is angry

at me so it’s showing the direction of

emotion so in this case have you ever

cried at a film meaning did a film cause

you to cry have you ever cried because

of a film in my case though if I wanted

to ask my friend if a movie had ever

caused them to cry I would say have you

ever cried at a movie next question next

question comes from Eagle or hi Igor why

are groups like

berry hurry study tidy and try in the

irregular verbs list their past simple

and past participle forms have edie

endings like other regular verbs the

course books used have listed these

verbs in the irregular verb list alright

tough question because I did not create

the textbooks and I don’t know the logic

that was used for the textbooks but if I

had to guess why those verbs are

included as irregular verbs I would

imagine it’s because these verbs all end

in Y and yes although the verbs do end

in E D there is an irregular change that

happens with verbs that end in Y so

that’s to drop the Y and add ie D

instead of just an IDI so we maintain

that Isan like tidy Barry

however the spelling of the word changes

next question news from poll ria pouria

asks what’s the difference between these

words interior and internal exterior and

external alright well there are

grammatical differences interior and

exterior are nouns internal and external

are adjectives we use interior and

exterior to talk about the inside and

the outside of something but internal

and external are used those are

adjectives we use them to talk about the

qualities of something

next question from stanislav hi

Stanislaw stanislav asks how do you

politely address unfamiliar women and

men lady miss mrs. mister and sir

ah nice question all right if you’re in

a formal situation it’s better to use

mr. with men sir tends to be used more

in like a service relationship so the

same thing with ma’am for women mrs. is

used for married women if I don’t know

if someone is married or not a woman is

married or not I’ll use miss next

question expression is from Leon hi Leon

what are the differences between test

exam quiz and questionnaire and when

should I use each of them nice question

all right let’s start with test and exam

we use these two words quite similarly

when we’re talking about

tests of knowledge or like examinations

at school we can use either of those

like I have a test this week or I have

an exam this week I think in American

English test is probably used more

commonly than exam or the long form

examination however when we want to

check the status of our bodies will

often use the word exam so for example a

physical exam that’s an expression we

use to mean like a full check of the

body which is commonly done maybe once a

year or so so an exam like a dental exam

or an eye exam is a check of the

condition of your body as well a quiz is

essentially a mini test a questionnaire

however is quite different from the

three that we’ve talked about thus far a

questionnaire is something that’s given

usually to customers that is for

feedback we use questionnaires for

feedback so those are all the questions

that I want to answer this week thank

watching this episode of ask Alicia and

I will see you again next week bye bye

the English class 101 coms English in

three minutes the fastest easiest and

most fun way to learn English hi how’s

it going

I’m Alicia nice to meet you in this

series we’re going to learn some easy

ways to ask and answer common questions

in English it’s really useful and it

only takes three minutes in this lesson

you’re going to learn new more common

ways to ask and answer the question how

are you in English you’ve probably

learned how are you and I’m fine in

textbooks before but in the United

States people will usually ask this

question and

sir in a different way first let’s

review if someone says how are you you

can say I’m fine I’m fine here are some

other ways to answer pretty good this

means about the same thing as I’m fine

pretty good we also have not bad you can

use this if you are feeling just okay or

so-so

not bad let’s look at our question again

how are you this is the most well known

way of asking how someone is you could

use it when you want to be polite but

now let’s look at some different ways to

ask how someone is these ways are more

casual and much more common first hey

how’s it going hey how’s it going you

can answer this in many ways if you’re

feeling good you can say good good

pretty good pretty good not bad not bad

once more good pretty good

not bad here’s a tip even though these

answers mean the same thing as I’m fine

you can’t answer how’s it going with I’m

fine it will sound a bit strange if

you’re not feeling good you can say not

so good not so good not great not great

or not so well not so well be careful if

you say one of these the other person

will usually ask why what’s wrong to be

polite then you will have to explain

another casual but very common version

of how are you is what’s up what’s up to

reply use a cheerful voice as you say

much not much or nothing much nothing

much this means you’re free and able to

chat since what’s up is just another way

of saying hello

you can also reply with hey or hi now

it’s time for Alicia’s advice a lot of

the time when we ask questions that mean

how are you in English we’re not

actually asking about the other person’s

health we’re only asking to be polite

you should think of these questions as

another way of saying hello a way for

the conversation to get started instead

of actual literal questions in fact when

someone asks you what’s up you don’t

even have to answer just say what’s up

in reply do you know the difference

between what do you do and what are you

doing it’s a little tricky but we’ll

explain it simply in the next English in

three minutes lesson see you next time

ten lines you need for introducing

yourself so let’s go hello it’s nice to

meet you hello it’s nice to meet you

you can only use this the first time

that you meet someone if you say this to

somebody after you have met them already

you’re going to see them either a like

you’ve completely forgotten meeting them

or be like you are a very strange person

for saying it’s nice to meet you again

so when you use this the first time you

can shake hands with someone and say

hello it’s nice to meet you my name is

the next phrase is my name is blah blah

in my case my name is Alicia you can use

this again when you’re introducing

yourself or if you need to reintroduce

yourself you can use this pattern when

you meet somebody at a party for example

you can say my name is blah blah blah my

name is Barbara my name is Stevens you

can shorten this you can say my names my

name is blah blah blah

I’m from after you’ve said your name

after you’ve shaken hands you can say

I’m from the US I’m from Japan I’m from

Turkey

I am from your mom’s house I’m free

I’m from a cave in southern Europe I’m

from your country or I’m from your city

I’m from the future I live in I live in

blah blah blah you can use your city you

can use your country you can use even

maybe if you live near a certain station

you can use the name of the station

where you live so for example I live in

America it’s fine I live in Los Angeles

it’s fine I live in New York it’s fine

so your neighborhood is fine if someone

says where do you live and you say I

live in an apartment it’s like what so

please use your the region or the

location where you live not the type of

place where you live i’ma if you hear

the question what do you do it it’s

asking about your job in English people

don’t say what is your job that’s not

the question that we ask instead the

question is what do you do and the

correct response to that is I’m a or I’m

n bla bla bla

followed by your job title so if someone

says what do you do you can say I’m a

teacher what do you do I’m an engineer

what do you do

I’m donut shop tester

I’m years old when someone asks how old

are you you can say I’m bla bla bla

years old

don’t forget the S at the end of this if

you like you can shorten this phrase to

just I’m plus your age so I’m 65 I’m 13

whatever I’m this many sometimes

children will say that how old are you

they’ll say I’m this many it’s kind of

cute first time you meet someone you

might not ask how old are you if it’s in

a friendly case like a party after

you’ve spoken to the person a little bit

it’s okay but just try to be sensitive

to the context try to be sensitive to

the people around you and if you sense

that maybe there’s a very large age gap

between you it might be better just not

to ask the question at all

I enjoy many of my students say what is

your hobby but that’s not something that

native speakers will say no native

speakers say what is your hobby instead

we ask

what do you like to do or what do you do

in your free time this is a much more

natural question than what’s your hobby

the answer to this then is I enjoy or I

like plus a noun phrase so for example

what do you like to do I like listening

to music or I enjoy listening to music

what do you do in your free time I like

watching movies what are you do in your

free time

I like baking cakes what do you do in

your free time I enjoy tap-dancing what

do you do in your free time I enjoy

making new friends oh one of my hobbies

is one of my hobbies is blah blah blah

with this one it’s probably better to

use a short easily or easy to understand

hobby if you’re explaining a hobby

people are gonna expect that it’s gonna

be something that they know about like

photography or cooking or dancing or

swimming or whatever so try to pick

something that will allow you to to

continue the conversation that’s why

movies are cooking or books or you know

sports are a good thing to share one of

my hobbies is snowboarding I’ve been

learning English for if you are learning

English if you’re studying English you

can use this expression if someone asks

you how long have you been studying

English you can say I’ve been studying

English for amount of time or I’ve been

learning English or I’ve been practicing

English or I’ve been speaking English

for a certain amount of time I’ve been

studying English since elementary school

is also okay to use I’ve been studying

English since I was in college just be

careful for is used for a length of time

and since is used for a specific point

in time at which you started something

so you can try and mix it up and use a

few different expressions there so I’ve

been learning English for a long time

I’m still learning English yeah you

shouldn’t do that okay I’m learning

English at English class 101.com this

probably could be used in response to

where did you learn English or where are

you studying English or how are you

studying English you can respond with

I’m learning English at English class

101.com or I’m learning English at my

school I’m learning English at my

private teachers house for example

so a little bit of grammar in this

sentence why do we use the progressive

tense I’m learning English if you say

I’m learning it sounds like you’re still

continuing your studies if you say I

learned English at English class 101.com

it sounds like you’re finished like you

you’re finished studying there’s nothing

else for you to study so you’re done so

it’s it’s much much more natural to

actually use the progressive I’m

learning or I’m studying when you’re

talking about your studies when you’re

talking about your hobbies than it is to

say I learned or I studied hi everybody

welcome back to ask Alisha the weekly

series where you ask me questions and I

answer them maybe first question comes

from Vanessa Rodriguez hi Vanessa

Vanessa says hi Alicia I’d like to know

the difference between kind of sort of

and somewhat greetings from Brazil let’s

begin with kind of and sort of so kind

of and sort of can be used before verbs

and adjectives to mean a little and when

we’re speaking quickly we say keine and

sorta you’ll also see this spelling used

in casual messages like text messages or

maybe less formal emails so some

examples I kind of want to eat Korean

for lunch this dessert is kind of sweet

don’t you think I sort of like that new

movie our neighbors are being sort of

noisy tonight we also use kind of and

sort of as softeners especially for bad

news some examples I sort of forgot to

send you the details I kind of broke

your computer also keep in mind that

kind of and sort of can come before a

noun but when they’re used in this way

kind of and sort of mean type they don’t

mean a little for example what kind of

ice cream do you like what sort of car

are you thinking of buying so let’s move

on to some what some what means a little

or slightly also but it sounds more

formal than kind of or sort of we can

use somewhat before adjectives we can

also use somewhat with verbs but you’ll

find somewhat used after the verb so

it’s an adverb there some examples our

answer depends somewhat

on today’s meeting the lesson content

may vary somewhat in accordance with

students questions like I said we can

use it before adjectives but it feels

more formal than kind of or sort of I’m

somewhat surprised you replied to my

email this decision seems somewhat odd

okay so I hope that that helps answer

your question thanks very much for

sending it along let’s move on to your

next question next question comes from

David Hosono hi David David says hi

Alicia I am Japanese and not religious

is it acceptable for me to use religious

words like oh my god or bless you if not

acceptable is there an alternate way of

saying it hmm this is kind of a tough

question because it depends on your

listener so let’s start with the phrase

bless you here I’ve never heard of a

situation where someone has gotten in

trouble for saying bless you if you’re

not familiar with this phrase bless you

is a common expression English speakers

use after someone sneezes it has kind of

an interesting history I’ve read two

things actually about where this

expression comes from one people used to

believe that when you sneeze that part

of your soul or part of your spirit

leaves your body so they said bless you

the other thing is that I heard that the

phrase originated around the time of the

Black Plague and so sneezing was like

the first sign that someone might die so

people said bless you when they heard a

sneeze interesting I don’t know which is

true but it’s an interesting it’s an

interesting expression for sure but

regardless when people say bless you it

typically isn’t a problem if you’re not

sure or if you’re not feeling

comfortable just say nothing that’s

totally natural as well some other

people like to use the German word

gesundheit I don’t know if my

pronunciation is correct there but it

means roughly health to my understanding

so some people like to use that I

personally don’t you might hear it from

time to time but if you’re ever worried

my recommendation would be to say

nothing I personally don’t use the

expression bless you regarding the

question about oh my god this one is

perhaps more sensitive depending on the

person you’re talking to there are some

people especially people who have strong

religious beliefs

who believe that using the word God

outside of a religious situation is bad

it’s not a good thing to do so in those

cases those people might feel offended

if you use the word God in the

expression oh my god for many people

it’s not a problem if you’re worried if

you’re not sure if you’re not

comfortable you can use the expression

oh my gosh

this is a very common and very

acceptable and natural substitute so oh

my gosh in place if you listen to the

people you’re around and you hear them

saying oh my god oh my god you can

probably safely use oh my god as well

but if you’re worried you can just say

oh my gosh that’s fine too so I hope

that this helps you thanks very much for

this question okay let’s move on to your

next question next question comes from

cannot I cannot cannot says hi Alicia

could you please explain the difference

between what do I have to do and what am

I supposed to do yeah the difference

between 1/2 2 and supposed to is subtle

so let’s start with 1/2 - when we use

the expression half - we’re talking

about like an obligation or a

responsibility when we use supposed to

it’s like there’s some kind of outside

expectation like a societal expectation

or like a relationship expectation

something you are supposed to do like a

specific way you are supposed to behave

so regarding your question then let’s

imagine two people are having an

argument

if someone says what do I have to do

it’s like they’re asking about their

obligations they’re asking about their

responsibilities what must they do if

someone asks the question what am I

supposed to do it’s often like they’re

asking for the other person’s

expectations of them so maybe it’s not

even necessarily like a responsibility

but you’re asking for someone else’s

expectations with that question

so the situations where you would hear

these two are maybe a little bit

different like what do I have to do

would be used more when we’re looking to

achieve a goal like what do I have to do

to get a good score

on this test or what do I have to do to

get this job if you’re asking the

question what am I supposed to do it’s

often in a situation that’s like trouble

so maybe you’re in trouble with like the

person you’re in a relationship with or

maybe you’re in like trouble with like a

landlord for example like what am I

supposed to do if I don’t have this

house I’ll be in trouble so it’s like

what are your expectations of me versus

what are the things I must do so it’s a

very subtle difference supposed to is

kind of more like societies and

relationships and those kinds of like

people related like connections and have

to can feel more like obligations

responsibilities so I would suggest to

just pay attention when you see these

two words used in text and you can kind

of get a feel for the times when we

would use these I hope that this helps

answer your question thanks very much

for sending it along okay let’s move on

to your next question next question

comes from Ty hi ty ty says hello Alicia

can you tell me about the word record

and the way to read it when it’s a verb

and when it’s a noun yeah so as a verb

the word is pronounced record record so

for example we’re recording a video or

let’s record a song next year when used

as a noun to talk about like the discs

that you can use to play music or to

talk about like a written note where you

keep a lot of information the

pronunciation is record record so he

bought a lot of records last week or do

you keep a record of your tasks so as a

verb record as a noun record I hope that

this helps you thanks very much for the

question let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from

Victoria hi Victoria

Victoria says I would be grateful if you

could explain the difference between

want to and wanted to also when can we

use wanted to okay the short answer here

is that want to is present tense and

wanted to is past tense examples I want

to eat lunch you want to get a coffee he

wanted to go jogging

she wanted to cook dinner so something

that might confuse people here is when

we’re trying to be soft and polite we

might use wanted in past tense to make

like a soft request or to ask for

information in a soft way so examples I

wanted to know where the restroom was I

wanted to ask you about the new software

I wanted to talk to you about the

presentation so yes we’re using the past

tense here like I wanted to talk to you

about the presentation it just makes the

question sound softer using past tense

in that way so we don’t do this for all

verbs we do this for like questioning

verbs like I was wondering is another

good example or I was hoping so we’re

trying to like make an inquiry

you might hear this past tense structure

used so we use this in situations where

there’s a little bit of distance between

us and the listener maybe with like a

work colleague we’re not so close to or

maybe with like staff at a department

store so we use it typically with

strangers but we’re trying to be a

little bit more polite of course you

don’t have to do this some people are

very direct and they use present tense

they say I want to know where the

restroom is or I want to talk to you

about the presentation I personally

prefer to be a little softer and a

little more polite so I also tend to use

the past tense form so you can choose

which you prefer but if you hear past

tense in situations like these it’s to

make a softer question I hope that this

helps you thanks very much for the

calm

imagine you’re on a plane there’s

someone next to you what do you say hi

Alicia here introducing yourself in

English is easy in this lesson you’re

going to learn how with Gustavo and

Henry who meet on a plane

Gustavo is moving to New York his family

is going to join him later in the month

Henry is in the seat when Gustavo gets

on the plane let’s watch excuse me sorry

about that

hi how do you do I’m Gustavo

nice to meet you Gustavo I’m Henry

Eddins

I’m sorry can you say that again please

a bit slowly Henry Eddins Henry Eddins

that’s it but please call me Hank Hank

nice to meet you now with subtitles

excuse me

sorry about that hi how do you do I’m

Gustavo

nice to meet you Gustavo I’m Henry

Eddins I’m sorry can you say that again

please

a bit slowly Henry Eddins

Henry Eddins that’s it but please call

me Hank Hank nice to meet you

here are the key words from the scene

hi-hi-hi

hi but but

but

excuse me

excuse me excuse me

excuse me two two two

  • nice to meet you nice to meet you nice

to meet you

nice to meet you

how do you do how do you do how do you

do

how do you do

here are the key phrases from the scene

how did Henry apologize when he realized

he was in Gustavo’s way

sorry about that

sorry about that in general this

expression when used to respond to

excuse me

shows a friendly willingness to help the

other person in this case Henry wanted

to show he was happy to move out of

Gustavo’s way you can also use it to

apologize for a small mistake like

bumping into someone on the street or

blocking someone’s way in the aisle of a

supermarket now you try

say Henry’s line after Gustavo speaks

excuse me

sorry about that

later Gustavo also used the word sorry

to apologize when he didn’t understand

Henry’s name which phrase did he use

I’m sorry

I am sorry this is a very common phrase

in English from many situations but here

Gustavo uses it to indicate he didn’t

understand something now you try

say the line after Henry speaks

I’m Henry Eddins

I’m sorry because Gustavo did not

understand something

he asked Henry to repeat what he said to

do this

what polite question did he use

can you say that again please

can you say that again please

in response English speakers will

usually repeat what they have said and

will use the same words now you try ask

the question after Gustavo says I’m

sorry

I’m sorry

can you say that again please Gustavo

also wanted Henry to speak more slowly

to do this what does he ask

a bit slowly

bit slowly this is not a complete

sentence but has a clear meaning when

used after can you say that again please

in response English speakers will slow

their speech down now you try

say the phrase after Gustavo says can

you say that again please

can you say that again please

a bit slowly

after Gustavo said Henry’s name and

reconfirmed he said it correctly how did

he do that that’s it

that’s it this is like saying that’s

correct but since the situation was

friendly

that’s it sounded more natural now you

try

say the phrase after Gustavo says

Henry’s name correctly Henry Eddins

that’s it

now the lesson focus here’s how to

introduce yourself ready

do you remember how Gustavo introduced

himself

hi how do you do I’m Gustavo

when Gustavo introduced himself he

started with hi and then used a set

phrase

how do you do

how do you do

this is a polite expression people often

use with an introduction it sounds like

a question but it has no particular

meaning and there’s no expectation the

other person will try to answer it

next he says

I’m Gustavo

the first part of this sentence is a

contraction of two words I and am the am

here functions like an equal sign in

math

I’m I’m the next word in the sentence is

a name

gustavo together its

Gustavo

the structure of the pattern is hi how

do you do I’m plus your name now you try

imagine your name is John say hi how do

you do

I’m John

hi how do you do I’m John now imagine

your name is Aiko

say hi how do you do I’m Aiko

hi how do you do I’m Michael now use

your name

okay there are two additional things you

need to know first there’s a shortcut

for giving your name

just drop the I’m from the final

sentence of the self introduction for

example if Gustavo just said hi how do

you do

Gustavo Henry would have understood it

was his name

this would be especially clear if

Gustavo extended his hand for a

handshake while saying this in very

casual situations you can even drop the

hi

and the how do you do all that is left

would be your name the second thing you

need to know is you can use I’m with

just the first name or your first name

and the last name together

I’m Henry Eddins

Eddins is Henry’s family name using both

your first name and your last name is a

little more formal it also gives you

less privacy for example if people know

both your first and last name they can

find you on the internet more easily so

it may be more common for strange to say

just their first name than people

meeting in a more friendly environment

next you’ll learn how to tell people to

call you by a nickname just like Henry

did in the scene

but please call me Hank

but please call me Hank the first word

in the sentence is butt

this word is not necessary but it makes

the transition to the rest of the

sentence smoother Henry uses this to

introduce a new piece of information and

this information changes something about

what he said before but makes this clear

the next word introduces a polite

request please PLEASE next is a request

to use a certain name call call

after this is the word me

me last is a common nickname for men

named Henry Hank

Hank

please call me Hank

the sentence structure is please call me

plus your nickname now you try imagine

your nickname is Matt say please call me

Matt

class 101 coms English in three minutes

the fastest easiest and most fun way to

learn English hey everyone I’m Alisha in

this series we’re going to learn some

easy ways to ask and answer common

questions in English it’s really useful

and it only takes three minutes in this

lesson you’re going to learn how to ask

what someone’s job is in natural English

of course you can just say what is your

job this is correct English but it

sounds too direct and awkward native

English speakers almost never say this

in a social situation instead they use a

different question but before we master

that we need to compare it to a very

similar question what are you doing I’m

presenting a video about English

what do you do I’m an English teacher do

you see the difference these two

questions what are you doing and what do

you do sound similar but mean different

things the first one is asking what you

are doing right now this minute you

answer it using an ING verb what are you

doing I’m reading I’m watching TV while

the second is actually a shortened

version of what do you do for a living

this is how we ask what is your job in

natural English let’s practice this

question what do you do what do you do

when native speakers of English ask this

question it can come out very fast and

sound more like what do you do in order

to tell it apart from what are you doing

just listen for the sound on the end of

the question if it’s not there then

you’re being asked what your job is so

how would you answer this question just

think of it as if the other person is

asking you what is your job you could

answer with I am plus your job I’m a

teacher I’m a teacher or I’m an engineer

if you want to learn more job names go

to English class 101.com and check out

the core word lists these cover job

vocabulary and more and include a

picture and audio to help you perfect

your pronunciation you can also mention

the place that you work at starting with

I work at I work at a hospital I work at

a hospital I work at a law firm I work

at a law firm if you work for a big

company that is well known you can say I

work for and then the name I work for

Microsoft I work for Microsoft I work

for the New York Times I work for the

New York Times

now it’s time for Alicia’s advice when

you ask the question what do you do

and the other person tells you their job

it’s polite to make some kind of

positive comment about his or her job

for example how interesting or that must

be exciting or even oh really

remember to sound sincere do you know

how native English speakers ask each

other what their hobbies are hint we

don’t use the word hobbies find out next

time in the third English in three

minutes lesson see you next step

welcome to English class 101.com English

in three minutes the fastest easiest and

most fun way to learn English hey

everyone I’m Alicia this series will

teach you some easy ways to ask and

answer common questions in English it’s

really useful and it only takes three

minutes in this lesson you’re going to

learn some new ways to ask someone

what’s your name including one that you

can use when you have forgotten

someone’s name now what is your name was

probably one of the first questions you

learned when you started studying

English I have to tell you though that

most native speakers of English would

never say this in English just like in

other languages it is often more polite

to be a little indirect of course the

easiest way to avoid asking the question

directly is to not ask at all just

introduce yourself and most people will

respond by doing the same when

introducing yourself simple is nearly

always best just say hi I’m Alicia to

show that you want to know the other

person’s name just add and you at the

end hi I’m Alicia and you

hi I’m Alicia and you just like before

take out my name Alicia and put your

name in its place after you say this the

other person will tell you his or her

name okay now let’s talk about an

embarrassing situation that happens to

everybody you have already met this

person once before but you have

forgotten their name the most polite

thing to do in this situation is to

apologize and ask again there’s a simple

way to do this that’s also polite I’m

sorry what was your name again I’m sorry

what was your name again this sentence

is very similar to what’s your name but

it has three important differences first

we say I’m sorry

a small apology can go a long way after

that we say what was your name this is

just like what is your name but instead

of is we use the past tense was this is

really important as it tells the other

person that you remember meeting them

you haven’t forgotten him or her you

have just forgotten the name this little

word makes all the difference I’m sorry

what was your name finally we add again

to the end this is another hint that

tells the other person that you remember

learning his or her name before but you

just can’t recall it right now I’m sorry

what was your name again this phrase is

appropriate for both formal and informal

situations now it’s time for Alicia’s

advice in the United States it’s normal

to address people by name in

conversation more than once in both

formal and informal situations it’s a

way to show respect or interest in the

other person and can help you make

friends it is also a great way

to practice someone’s name so you don’t

forget it if you are talking to someone

named Anne for example instead of just

what do you do for fun you could say and

what do you do for fun

you can also put the name at the end of

the sentence what do you do for fun and

you don’t want to say the person’s name

too often or it will sound a little

strange but if you practice someone’s

name like this you won’t forget it and

people love to hear their own name in

this lesson we learned what to say when

we forget someone’s name in the next

lesson you’ll learn what to say when you

want to get in touch with someone

whether by telephone email or even newer

ways to communicate what’s your favorite

101.com welcome to English class 101

coms English in three minutes the

fastest easiest and most fun way to

learn English hey everyone I’m Alicia

this series explains some easy ways to

ask and answer common questions in

English it’s really useful and it only

takes three minutes in this lesson

you’re going to learn some different

ways people will ask you where are you

from first though where are you from can

mean many things it can mean what city

are you from or what state are you from

in fact Americans ask this question to

each other all the time to learn what

part of America the other person comes

from of course though it can also mean

what country are you from if you want to

answer this question there are two ways

to do it you can say I’m plus your

nationality as in I’m Japanese or

I’m Brazilian or you can say I’m from

plus the country you are from as in I’m

from Italy or I’m from Thailand if

you’re from a really famous city or

place you can say that too

for example I’m from Beijing or I’m from

New Delhi many times though Americans

won’t ask what country are you from or

even where are you from in many casual

situations they will say it in a simpler

way where are you from this is just like

where are you from but they take out the

are where are you from you can use this

to in casual situations of course in the

United States as in other parts of the

world people may be a little more

indirect because they want to be polite

to do this they might ask you if you are

from the place where they meet you for

example if you meet someone in New York

they might ask are you from New York or

if you are in San Diego they might ask

are you from San Diego many parts of the

United States are very multicultural so

asking the question this way avoids what

could be an embarrassing mistake you can

answer this the same way you answer

where are you from just add a simple no

in front for example you can say no plus

I’m plus nationality no I’m French or no

plus I’m from plus country no I’m from

Russia

now it’s time for Alicia’s advice since

the United States is very large people

you meet may take great pride in the

place or region they come from if you

ask someone about where they’re from

they may respond by saying something

like west coast or the east coast or

California or the south or the Midwest

if they answer in this way it usually

means they are interested in talking

more about their region and how it

differs from others in this lesson you

are going to learn how to ask what

someone’s hobbies are without using the

word hobbies you’ve probably seen the

question do you have any hobbies or what

are your hobbies

in an English textbook before however

native English speakers almost never use

the word hobbies when asking about them

a much more natural way to ask the same

question is what do you do for fun let’s

practice this question what do you do

for fun what do you do for fun you can

also ask what do you do in your free

time what do you do in your free time so

how would you answer this question let’s

look at how native speakers would do it

the easiest way is to say I like to or

just I like followed by what you like to

do for example if you like watching

movies you could say I like to watch

movies or I like watching movies I like

to watch movies or I like watching

movies and if you like golf you could

say I like to play golf or I like

playing golf I like to play golf or I

like playing golf you can emphasize how

much you like your hobby by adding a

word like really in front of like for

example

I really like watching movies on the

other hand if you want to play down how

much you like something you can say kind

of for example I kind of like playing

tennis now it’s time for Alisha’s advice

if you don’t have any special hobbies or

don’t want to be specific

a good way to reply is I like hanging

out with my friends and stuff like that

I like hanging out with my friends and

stuff like that just use I like and add

hanging out with my friends and then add

and stuff like that ten different

phrases that you can use to respond to

the question how are you so let’s go I’m

great

the first phrase is I’m great if someone

says how are you you can say I’m great

try to say I’m great with a kind of an

upbeat voice so something you’re like

how are you I’m great I’m feeling bad

I’m feeling bad if you say I’m feeling

bad the other person is probably if

they’re a friend of yours or a co-worker

going to ask you why what happened so if

you want to use I’m feeling bad make

sure you have an explanation ready

anyway somebody says how are you and you

go I’m feeling bad maybe I went out for

drinks last night with my coworkers oops

I’m okay I’m okay I feel like this is

one of those intonation practice ones

I’m okay with that

ah I’m okay it’s like sort of upward

intonation you’re like cool but if

someone says how are you and you’re like

I’m okay they’re like oh no what

happened so you can use your intonation

with I’m okay to make it a good thing or

not so good thing but either way it’s

not like a very sick super-serious just

wrong thank you for asking

yeah I imagine this would be in a more

formal situation like if my friend said

to me how are you and I was like thank

you for asking they’d be like what I

would say

I’m fine or I’m doing well I’m doing

great plus thank you for asking so if

today how are you I’m doing very

well thank you mmm oh that’s how I would

use it and you the next one is and you

liked the least natural response - how

are you is I’m fine thank you and you

like just get out of put just take it

out of your head nobody says that I

always say how about you that’s a much

more natural thing how are you how are

you how are you can be a response again

after you have given your answer to the

question how are you I’m great how are

you how are you I’m good how are you

I’m great how are you I’m okay how are

you how have you been recently how have

you been recently this is only useful if

you haven’t seen the other person for a

while I’m not bad I’m not bad I’m not

bad how are you I’m not bad

no I’m not bad hmm things could be worse

I would probably do this I’m sleepy the

next expression is I’m sleepy Hey it’s

like so specific if someone said how are

you I would probably say I’m okay but

I’m a little sleepy I don’t know that I

would just say I’m sleepy unless it’s a

really good friend of mine it’s a person

close to you you can say I’m so tired

I’m I would say I’m super tired or I’m

really tired and I feel like that’s a

little bit more natural than just I’m

sleepy

I’m good one that I use a lot if someone

says how are you I say I’m good that’s

just probably my go-to response yeah I’m

good I’m good maybe I’ll repeat it while

smiling I’m good I’m good yeah thanks

for asking

hi everybody and welcome back to english

topics my name is Alicia and I’m joined

today by hi I’m Davey

thanks for joining us again baby so

today our topic for discussion is going

to be things that you should not say

when meeting someone for the first time

so please be careful not to say these

things or to ask these questions the

first time you meet someone this could

be very important it’s it could

influence your relationship with that

person for a long time so let’s begin

I’ll start this one okay here we go what

do you have first one I’m not gonna

start that one I’m gonna start with yes

the classic the classic question how

old are you yeah John asked this

question it doesn’t matter like maybe I

could see if you’re like a college-age

person and you’re at a college age

people party and everybody is pretty

much the same age and you just maybe

want to confirm exactly how close an age

you are I can see that but in the adult

world how old are you is like a classic

question not to ask because people some

people might be very sensitive about

their age whether they feel they’re

older or younger than the person they’re

speaking to so don’t ask this question

it’s a it’s a good idea just a better

idea not to ask this question even if

you’re curious if you’re if you’re

curious about how old someone is what do

you do

ah Alicia when did you graduate high

school see what I did there I do see

what you did there so you asked an

indirect question about their age so

that you can kind of guess maybe about

this age so he doesn’t ask me how old I

am but he asks when I completed a

specific point in my life that usually

happens around age 18 or so very tricky

so yeah avoid this question but an

indirect one like that could be good

could be useful okay nice one um what’s

your first tips my first tip is similar

I feel like you might have the better

tips this time because you’re you’re

very specific today my first tip is

avoid overly personal questions or

comments as well so for example asking

about age would be an example of that

but I think there’s there’s lots of

there are very many different overly

personal questions that you could ask

for example asking someone if they have

a boyfriend or girlfriend the first time

you meet that that’s not really

appropriate if you see someone who looks

pregnant and you ask oh when are you due

that’s always dangerous things like that

so but mmm yeah

asking overly personal questions is

something that you should not do when

you’re meeting someone for the first

time as you get to know

one you get to know more about them and

it becomes safer to ask more personal

questions and also to share more

personal information about yourself so

you shouldn’t for example in addition to

asking such questions you shouldn’t be

volunteering very personal information

about yourself just after you’ve met

someone that’s true yeah if you share

too much personal information the first

time you meet someone that can also be a

little bit sudden a little bit

surprising to the person listening so

that’s a really good point like don’t to

share all this information about your

life it sounds way too familiar way too

fast

over sharing hmm over sharing definitely

so don’t don’t do that the first time

but yeah when is the baby due

boyfriend or girlfriend how old are you

depending on where you are to some

people might be a little bit sensitive

about like jobs it kind of depends on

the place I’ve encountered that a couple

times people don’t want to explicitly so

people don’t want to clearly say what

they do that’s true going off of what

you said to add a couple more personal

items don’t ask about religion or

sexuality the first time you meet

someone because these are two usually

very sensitive topics for people so if

people if you want to you know continue

a relationship with someone and get to

know them better maybe you can ask this

sort of thing in the future but in

general the first time you meet someone

it’s not a good idea to say what

religion are you or what is your sexual

preference that kind of question is far

too personal for the first time you meet

anyone

so that’s pretty that’s a pretty good

one not to ask anybody a similar topic

my my next thing to avoid talking about

with people that you’ve just met is

money and this can differ culturally

that’s one reason I wanted to include

this is because in some cultures in some

parts of the world it’s very acceptable

to ask and talk about money

talk about your financial situation or

how much money you have or how much

money you make and ask people about that

but generally in the english-speaking

world that is considered a taboo you

shouldn’t ask about money because it’s

rude you shouldn’t talk about how much

money you have or you make because it

sounds like you’re bragging and it can

sound very rude I actually remember I

used to live in China and when I lived

in China when I first moved there people

would ask I would meet people and they

would ask me oh how much money do you

make and this was the second or third

question reality of meeting a new person

and I the first few times it really

shocks me I thought it was very strange

but then I learned oh that’s just uh

that’s a more typical question in this

culture but I still was a bit

uncomfortable answering it so I wasn’t

very definite I wouldn’t say exactly how

much money but on the other hand with

the people who were asking you that

question did they tell you how much

money they made mm-hmm not always no

mm-hmm no I see so maybe it was a

curiosity question I think it was a

curiosity class interesting huh that’s

interesting so that’s I think that’s a

really important point because again

people are very sensitive about their

incomes especially in relation to the

other people you’re speaking to but on

the other hand too if you want to talk

generally about like money or prices of

an item like maybe I don’t know the

price of gasoline or like housing prices

have gone up recently in the country

where you live in that’s fine like the

general topic of the economy of money is

fine to talk about but don’t talk about

people’s salary don’t talk about your

bonus or the great new house you’ve just

bought that kind of thing can be really

really sensitive for discussion all

right so I think you have one more tip

thank you and that’s it similar to one

that you gave you mentioned not talking

about religion or sexuality and I have

politics or religion and I was actually

thinking of a movie quote when I thought

of this I remembered a movie quote

something along the lines of never talk

about politics or religion because you

don’t know who you’re going to offend

and now I think that these are very

worthwhile and important topics to

discuss we should be able to talk about

politics and religion with each other

with our friends our family and people

that we know but it’s not a good idea to

bring up these topics the first time you

meet someone because you don’t want to

form a judgment of someone else or have

some

form a judgment of you based on what you

think about politics or religion and so

once you get to know someone you you

want your relationship with someone to

be based on an interpersonal connection

and once you’ve made a good connection

you have a good relationship with

someone then it’s a safer time a safer

relationship to talk about things like

politics religion sexuality and so on

without worrying about someone changing

their opinion of you or you your opinion

being changed of someone else right

exactly exactly and that can be a really

quick way to to maybe make someone feel

defensive if you ask for example well

what do you think of this political

situation it can be it can be a little

bit of a problem because number one that

person might not be interested in

politics so you might make them feel

nervous and two they might be concerned

that they’re going to offend you or

you’re not going to agree with them in

general it just creates too much tension

for a first conversation or maybe even a

second conversation I don’t know so it’s

better to avoid I completely agree

establish that connection first it’s

much better okay I’m out of tips I think

are you out of tips two tips okay great

so those are a few things that you

should definitely definitely avoid the

first time that you’re speaking with

someone if there are anything if there’s

anything that you have tried to use in a

conversation and maybe it didn’t go well

or if you have other tips for something

that you feel in your culture it would

be inappropriate to ask please leave a

comment and let us know about it ten

phrases tourists should never use number

one that’s disgusting disgusting is a

very harsh term to describe something

that doesn’t look good you’re it’s not

attractive and you don’t want to get

near it it’s disgusting it’s a very rude

thing to say because you might be saying

that about something someone else likes

number two my country is better to say

your country is better is a very rude

thing to say when you’re a guest in a

new place especially because if you’re a

tourist you probably don’t know all that

much about this new country so how could

you really say

one country is better than the other

number three I’d rather be back home if

you’d rather be back home that means you

don’t want to be here anymore

and if that’s the case why are you

travelling at all part of the joy of

traveling is getting away from home and

experiencing new things so to say I’d

rather be back home why are you

travelling at all number four

shut up funny story when I was growing

up my mom used to say that shut up is a

bad word so we used to get in trouble

for saying it shut up is a very rude way

to tell someone to be quiet don’t use it

it’s a bad way to say it number five I’m

not very interested in your culture to

say that you’re not interested in

someone’s culture probably means that

you’re not looking hard enough because

every culture has something interesting

about it whether it’s the language the

history the fashion it doesn’t matter

what it is there’s always going to be

something interesting about someone’s

culture number six I don’t like meeting

new people to say you don’t like meeting

new people means that you’re going to

miss out on a very big part of traveling

and that is getting to know people

getting to hear their stories what it’s

actually like to live in that country so

to say I don’t like meeting new people

you’re losing out number seven let’s

just eat at McDonald’s this is something

that a lot of Americans are probably

guilty of when traveling they’re gonna

see in McDonald’s because McDonald’s are

everywhere in the world these days and

they’re going to think it’s easy my

favorite part of traveling is trying new

cuisine in different countries and if

you’re just going to say let’s eat at

McDonald’s that means you’re going to be

missing out on trying local cuisine and

local delicacies and it’s just you’re

not broadening your horizons and you

never know your favorite new food might

just be waiting undiscovered for you and

instead you went to McDonald’s to have a

chicken sandwich number eight boring

boring is a very impolite way to say

that something is not interesting and

you don’t really want to use

when you’re traveling because it’s kind

of rude number nine this tastes awful

to say something tastes awful is saying

that it tastes bad it tastes terrible

you don’t want to eat it anymore and

it’s incredibly rude you don’t want to

say this especially if the person you’re

talking to is the one who made the food

for you in English we have this phrase

don’t look someone’s young and that

means don’t say yuck to something that

someone else might say young or that’s

delicious so you don’t want to insult a

food that someone else likes because

it’s very rude it’s insulting especially

if the person you’re saying that to made

the food for you so don’t use this

phrase number 10 I’m going to spend the

day in the hotel to say you’re going to

spend an entire day at the hotel means

you’re missing out on exploring the

place that you’ve paid to go and see why

don’t you get out there and try new food

and meet new people take pictures climb

skyscrapers climb mountains go hiking do

everything you can possibly do to take

advantage of being in a new place

because I guarantee it’ll be one of the

best experiences you have

我在说定冠词的用途是什么

我们使用单数

名词来指代那个的特定

实例 名词,所以当你讲故事时,

我们通常会

用 a 来介绍名词的第一个实例,然后

我们将使用 the 来指

代该事物的特定实例,例如

我正在走的一个简单故事 在

街上,我看到一只

狗 这只狗真的很可爱 我抚摸这只狗 所以在那种

情况下,当我在故事中介绍一只狗时,

我第一次谈论

故事中的狗时,我用 a 来介绍它,

然后我用 指的

是我介绍的那只特定的狗

在故事的前面,每

隔一段时间我想谈论同一只狗,

我在它之前使用,所以

当你需要指代一个特定的

名词或当你必须指代一个

特定的群体时使用这个词,例如

老师 在学区发生了

罢工,所以具体来说,我们

谈论的是特定学

区的教师 教师罢工

PTA 会议上的母亲组织了一次

烘焙义卖 这是一个

由其他事物定义的特定群体,所以在这种

情况下 参加 PTA 会议

在不规则动词列表中列出了这些动词

stion,因为我没有

创建教科书,我不知道

教科书使用的逻辑,但如果我

不得不猜测为什么这些动词被

包含为不规则动词,我

想这是因为这些动词都

以 Y 结尾,是的,尽管 动词确实

以 ED

结尾 以 Y 结尾的动词会发生不规则的变化,

因此删除 Y 并添加 ie D

而不仅仅是 IDI,因此我们

认为 Isan 喜欢整洁的 Barry

但是单词的拼写

接下来会发生变化 来自民意调查的问题新闻 ria pouria

考试测验和问卷调查有什么区别,

我应该什么时候 使用每个都很好的问题

好吧 让我们从测试和考试开始

我们在谈论

知识测试或

学校考试时非常相似地使用这两个词 我们可以使用

像我本周有考试或我这样的任何一个

本周有一个考试我认为在美式

英语中 test 可能

比考试或长篇考试更常用,

但是当我们想要

检查我们的身体状况时,

通常会使用考试这个词,例如,

体格检查是我们的一种表达方式

用于表示对身体进行全面检查,

通常每年进行一次

左右,因此牙科检查

或眼科检查等检查是

对您身体状况的检查,而测验

本质上是一个小型测试 曲

然而,estionnaire

与我们迄今为止讨论过的三个完全不同,

问卷是

通常提供给客户的

反馈,我们使用问卷作为

我下周再见,

再见英语 101 课 coms 英语

三分钟最快最简单

最有趣的英语学习方法你好最近怎么样

我是 Alicia 很高兴在这个

系列中认识你我们将学习一些简单的

提问和回答方法

英语中的常见问题 它真的很有用,

在本课中只需要三分钟

你将学习新的更常见的

提问和回答问题的方法

你在英语中怎么样 你可能已经

学会了你和我

以前在教科书中很好,但在

美国,人们通常会问这个

问题,

先生,首先让我们

回顾一下,如果有人说你好吗,你

可以说我很好,我很好,这里有一些

其他的回答方式很好 这

意味着与我

很好 很好 我们也不错

如果您感觉还可以的话可以使用它

所以

还不错 让我们再看一下我们的问题

好吗 询问某人怎么样 你可以

在你想要礼貌的时候使用它 但是

现在让我们看看一些不同的方式来

问一个人怎么样 这些方式更

随意,更常见,首先

嘿,进展如何,进展如何,你

可以回答这个 在很多方面,如果你

感觉不好 d 你可以说好

不错 不错 不错

不错 不错 不错 不错

不错 不错 这里有一个提示,尽管这些

答案与我很好

你无法回答我

很好 如果

你感觉不好,那听起来会有点奇怪 你可以说不

太好 不太好 不太好 不太好

或不太好 不太好 如果

你说其中一个要小心 对方

通常会问为什么出了什么问题

礼貌起见,您将不得不解释

另一个随意但非常常见的版本

,即您的状况如何,发生什么事了

回复使用愉快的声音,因为您说的

不多

聊天,因为 what’s up 只是

打招呼的另一种方式,

您也可以回复 hey 或 hi

现在是时候听取 Alicia 的建议

了 人的

健康,我们只是要求有礼貌,

你受 将这些问题视为

另一种打招呼的方式,一种

开始对话的方式,而

不是实际的字面问题,事实上,当

有人问你怎么了,你

甚至不必回答,只说

怎么回答你知道吗?

你做什么和你

在做什么之间的区别有点棘手,但我们将

在下一个三分钟的英语课中简单地解释它

下次见

你需要十行介绍

自己所以让我们去你好很高兴

见到你 你好很高兴见到你

你只能在你第一次

见到某人时使用这个如果你

在你遇到某人之后对他们说

你会看到他们要么就像

你完全忘记与他们见面

一样 你是一个非常奇怪的人,

因为你说很高兴再次见到你,

所以当你第一次使用这个时,你

可以与某人握手并

打招呼很高兴见到你我的名字

是下一个短语是我的名字是 blah blah

in my CAS e 我的名字是 Alicia,你可以

在介绍自己时再次使用它,

或者如果你需要重新介绍

自己,你可以

在聚会上遇到某人时使用这种模式,例如,

你可以说我的名字是 blah blah blah 我的

名字是 Barbara 我的名字是 Stevens 你

可以缩短这个 你可以说我的名字 我的

名字是 blah blah blah

我来自在你说完你的名字

之后 在你握手之后你可以说

我来自美国 我来自日本 我来自

土耳其

我来自你妈妈的房子 我很自由

我来自南欧的一个山洞 我

来自你的国家或我来自你的城市

我来自未来 我住的地方 我住在

blah blah blah 你可以使用你的城市 你

可以使用你的国家 你可以使用

即使你住在某个车站附近

你可以使用

你居住的车站的名称 例如我住在

美国 没关系 我住在洛杉矶

这是 很好,我住在纽约,很好,

所以如果有人

说你住在哪里,而你说我

住在 apar,那么你的社区很好 tment 这就像什么所以

请使用您所在的地区或

您居住的位置,而不是您居住的地方类型,

如果您听到

这个问题,您是做什么的,它是在

询问您的英语工作,人们

不会说什么 你的工作

不是我们问的问题而是

问题是你做什么,

正确的回答是我是一个或者我是

n bla bla bla,

然后是你的职位,所以如果有人

说你做什么 你可以说我是

老师 你是做什么的 我是工程师

你是做什么的

如果你愿意,不要忘记结尾的 S,

你可以把这句话缩短

为我加上你的年龄,所以我 65 我是 13

不管我是多少,有时

孩子会说几岁 你

他们会说我这么

多人第一次见到某人你

可能不会问你多大了如果这是在

一个友好的情况下,比如

你已经sp之后的派对 对这个人有点

感觉没关系,但

试着对环境敏感 试着对

周围的人敏感,如果你觉得你们

之间的年龄差距可能很大,最好

不要问

我很喜欢我的许多学生都说

你的爱好是什么,但这不是说以英语为

母语的人会说的事情

是一个

比你的爱好是什么更自然的问题

然后这个问题的答案是我喜欢或我

喜欢加上一个名词短语,例如

你喜欢做什么我喜欢

听音乐或我喜欢听音乐

你在做什么 你的空闲时间我喜欢

看电影你

空闲时间

做什么我喜欢烤蛋糕

你空闲时间做什么我喜欢踢踏舞

你空闲时间做什么我喜欢

结交新朋友哦我的爱好之一

是我的爱好之一是等等等等

如果你在解释一种爱好,

人们会期望它

会是他们所知道的,比如

摄影、烹饪、跳舞、

游泳或其他任何东西,那么使用这个可能会更好。 选择

可以让你

继续对话的东西 这就是为什么

电影是烹饪或书籍的原因,或者你知道

运动是分享的好东西

我的爱好之一是滑雪板

学习英语

如果有人问

你学习英语多久了,你可以用这个表达方式

你可以说我已经学习

英语很长时间了,或者我一直在

学习英语,或者我一直在练习

英语,或者我一直 说

英语有一段时间 我

从小学就开始学习英语

也可以使用

我从大学开始就一直在学习英语 只是要

小心使用了一段时间

a nd since 用于

您开始某事的特定时间点,

因此您可以尝试将其混合并在

那里使用一些不同的表达方式,因此我

已经学习英语很长时间了,

我仍在学习英语,是的,您

应该 我

在英语课 101.com 上学习英语,这

可能可以用来回答

你在哪里学习英语或你在

哪里学习英语或你如何

学习英语,你可以用

我正在学习英语来回答 在英语课

101.com 或我在

学校学习英语 例如,我在

私人教师之家学习英语

所以这句话中有一点语法

为什么我们使用进行

时态 我正在学习英语 如果你 说

我正在学习 听起来你还在

继续学习 如果你说我

在英语课上学了英语 101.com

听起来你已经完成了

你已经完成了学习

你没有别的东西可以学习 所以你 ‘完成了,所以

它是很多 m 更自然地

实际使用渐进式我正在

学习或我正在学习当你

谈论你的学习时当你

谈论你的爱好而不是

说我学会了或我学习了大家好

欢迎回来问艾丽莎 每周

系列,你问我问题,我

回答他们也许第一个问题

来自 Vanessa Rodriguez 嗨 Vanessa

Vanessa 说嗨 Alicia 我想知道

来自巴西的那种和有点问候之间的区别让我们

从那种和那种开始 so kind

of 和 sort of 可以用在动词

和形容词之前表示一点意思,当

我们说得很快时,我们会说 keine 和

sorta,你还会看到这种拼写用

在诸如短信或不太正式的电子邮件之类的随意消息中,

所以有些

示例 我有点想在

午餐时吃韩国菜 这甜点有点甜

你不觉得我有点喜欢那部新

电影 我们的邻居

今晚有点吵 我们还使用了

某种软化剂 特别是 y 对于坏

消息一些例子我有点忘了

给你发送细节我有点打破

你的电脑也请记住

那种和那种可以出现在

名词之前但是当它们以这种方式使用时

那种和那种 意思是类型 他们没有

一点意思 例如

你喜欢什么样的冰淇淋 你想买什么样的

车 所以让我们继续

讨论一些什么 一些什么也有点意思,

但听起来

比实物更正式 of 或 sort of

我们可以在形容词之前

使用 some 也可以在动词之后使用 some ,但你会

发现在

动词之后使用 some

像我这样的学生问题我们可以

在形容词之前使用它,但感觉

比某种或某种形式更正式

非常感谢您

发送它让我们继续您的

下一个问题下一个问题来自

大卫细野嗨大卫大卫说嗨

艾丽西亚我是日本人并且不

信教我可以使用

像哦我的上帝这样的宗教词语吗?

可以接受 是否有另一种

表达方式 嗯,这是一个棘手的

问题,因为这取决于您的

听众,所以让我们从

这里的祝福你这个短语开始 我从来没有听说过

有人

因为说祝福你而陷入困境的情况 如果你

不熟悉这个短语 bless you

是说英语的人

在有人打喷嚏后使用的常用表达 它有

一段有趣的历史 我实际上读过两

件事关于这个

表达来自哪里的一个人曾经

相信当你打喷嚏时

你的灵魂或精神的一部分

离开了你的身体所以他们说bless

you 另一件事是我听说这

句话起源于

黑死病的时候 zing 就像

有人可能会死的第一个迹象,所以

人们听到打喷嚏时会说 bless you

有趣我不知道哪个是

真的,但这是一个

有趣的表达,它肯定是一个有趣的表达,但

不管人们什么时候说 bless you 它

通常不是’

如果您不确定或感觉不

舒服,那

就没问题了

健康,据我所知,

所以有些人喜欢使用,我

个人不知道,您可能会不时听到它,

但如果您担心

我的建议是什么也不说,

我个人不会使用

bless you 这个表达方式

关于哦,我的上帝的问题,这个问题

可能更敏感,具体取决于

您正在与之交谈的人。有些

人,尤其是具有强烈宗教信仰的人,

他们相信在 o 之外使用“上帝”这个词

fa 宗教情况很糟糕

,在这种情况下这样做不是一件好事,

如果你在表达中使用上帝这个词,那些人可能会感到被冒犯

oh my god 对于很多人

来说,如果你不担心

,这不是问题 当然,如果你不

舒服,你可以使用表达

哦,我的天哪,

这是一个非常常见、非常

容易接受和自然的替代品,所以哦,

天哪,

如果你听周围的人

说,我的天哪 哦,我的上帝,你也

可以安全地使用哦,我的上帝,

但如果你担心,你可以说

哦,我的天哪,这也很好,所以我

希望这对你有帮助,非常感谢

这个问题,好吧,让我们继续你的

下一个问题 下一个问题来自

不能,我不能说嗨,艾丽西亚

,你能解释

一下我必须做什么和

我应该做什么之间的区别吗?是的

,1/2 2 和应该做的区别是微妙的,

所以让我们从 1/ 开始 2 - 当我们

使用表达式 half - 我们 “

当我们使用“应该”时,谈论的是一种义务或责任,

就像有某种外部

期望,比如社会期望

或关系期望

,你应该做的事情,比如

你应该表现的特定方式,

所以关于你的 问题然后让我们

假设两个人在

争论

如果有人说我必须做什么

这就像他们在问他们的

义务 他们在问他们的

责任 如果

有人问我

应该做什么 他们必须做什么 这通常就像他们在

询问对方

对他们的期望,所以也许这

甚至不一定是一种责任,

但你在询问别人

对这个问题的期望,

所以你听到

这两个的情况可能有点

不同 当我们想要实现一个目标时,我必须做的事情

会被更多地使用,

比如我必须

做什么才能

在 t 他的测试或者如果你问我该怎么做才能

得到这份工作

与房东的关系,

或者您可能遇到麻烦,

例如

,如果我没有这

所房子,我该怎么办 我会遇到麻烦,所以就像

您对我的期望

与 我必须做的事情,这是一个

非常微妙的区别,

应该更像是社会和

关系,以及那些类似的

人相关的联系,并且

必须感觉更像是义务

责任,所以我建议

当你看到这些时要注意

文本中使用的两个词,您

可以了解

我们使用这些词的时代 我希望这有助于

回答您的问题 非常

感谢您发送它 好的 让我们

继续您的下一个问题 下一个问题

来自 Ty hi 类型 是的,你好,艾丽西亚

,你能告诉我记录这个词

以及当它是动词

和名词时的阅读方式是的,所以作为动词,

这个词的发音是记录记录

,例如我们正在录制视频或

让我们录制一个 song next year 当

用作名词时 谈论就像

你可以用来播放音乐的光盘或

谈论就像一个书面的笔记

保存很多信息

发音是唱片 所以他

上周买了很多唱片 或者你

是否记录你的任务作为

动词记录作为名词记录我希望

这对你有帮助非常感谢这个

问题让我们继续你的下一个

问题下一个问题来自

维多利亚你好维多利亚

维多利亚说我会很感激 如果你

能解释想要和想要之间的区别,

我们什么时候可以

使用想要好的,这里的简短回答

是想要是现在时,

想要是过去时的例子我

想吃午餐你想喝咖啡他

想要 去慢跑,

她想做饭,所以

这里可能会让人们感到困惑的是,当

我们试图变得温柔和有礼貌时,我们

可能会用过去时的“想要”来

提出一个温和的请求或

以一种温和的方式询问信息,所以例子我

想知道洗手间在哪里

我想问你关于新软件的问题

我想和你谈谈

演示所以是的我们在这里使用过去

时就像我想和你

谈谈演示它只是提出

问题 以这种方式使用过去时听起来更柔和

,所以我们不会对所有

动词都这样做

使用过去时结构,

所以我们

我们和

听众之间有一点距离的情况下

使用它 和

陌生人,但我们尽量

礼貌一点 当然你

不必这样做 有些人

非常直接,他们使用现在时

他们说我想知道

洗手间在哪里或者我想和你说话

关于演讲,我个人

更喜欢温和

一点,更有礼貌,所以我也倾向于

使用过去时形式,这样你就可以

选择你喜欢的形式,但如果你

在这样的情况下听到过去时,

我会提出一个更温和的问题 希望这

对你有帮助 非常感谢这个

问题 想从你的第一节课开始说真正的英语

冷静

想象你在飞机上

有人在你旁边 你说什么 嗨

Alicia 在这节课中,用英语介绍自己

很容易,您

将学习如何与

在飞机上相遇的古斯塔沃和亨利在一起

古斯塔沃将搬到纽约,他的

家人将在本月晚些时候加入他

的行列,当古斯塔沃坐在座位上时 得到

在飞机上,让我们看一下,对不起

你好,我是古斯塔沃,

很高兴见到你古斯塔沃,我是

亨利埃丁斯,

对不起,你能再说一遍,

请慢点亨利埃丁斯亨利埃丁斯

就是这样,但请 叫我汉克汉克

很高兴见到你 现在有字幕

对不起 嗨 你好吗 我是

古斯塔沃

很高兴见到你 古斯塔沃 我是

亨利埃丁斯 对不起你能再说一遍

请慢慢说亨利埃丁斯

Henry Eddins 就是这样,请叫

我 Hank Hank

你很

高兴见到你

很高兴

见到你 一般来说,

当这个表达用来回应

对不起时,它

显示了一个 fr

在这种情况下,Henry

非常愿意帮助他人

超市现在你试着

在古斯塔沃说话后说亨利的台词

对不起,

后来古斯塔沃也用了对不起这个词

道歉,当他不明白

亨利的名字时,他用了哪个词组

对不起,

对不起,这是一个很常见的词组

在很多情况下都用英语,但在这里

Gustavo 用它来表示他不

明白什么现在你试着

在亨利说话后说出这句话

我是 Henry Eddins

对不起,因为 Gustavo 不

明白

他让亨利重复他说的话 为了

做到这

一点,他用了什么礼貌的问题,

你能再说一遍吗?

你能再说一遍吗?

作为回应说英语的人

通常会重复他们说过

的话,并且现在会使用相同的词 你试着

在古斯塔沃说对不起之后问这个问题我很

抱歉

你能再说一遍吗古斯塔沃

还想让亨利说得慢

一点来做这件事他问

的有点慢

有点慢这不是一个完整的

句子但是有 a clear meaning when

used after can you say that

again please 并

再次确认他说对了

他是怎么做到

的 课程重点这里是如何

自我介绍准备

好你还记得古斯塔沃是如何

自我

介绍的吗你好我是古斯塔沃

当古斯塔沃介绍自己时他

以hi和th开头 en 使用了一个固定

短语

How do you

do 你怎么做

这是人们经常

在介绍中使用的礼貌用语 这听起来像是

一个问题,但没有特别的

含义,也不希望

其他人接下来会尝试回答

他说

I’m Gustavo

这句话的第一部分

是两个单词的缩写 I 和 am

here 的功能就像数学中的等号

I’m I’m the next word in the sentence is

a name

gustavo together its

Gustavo

the structure 模式是嗨

,你好吗我加上你的名字,现在你试着

想象你的名字是约翰,你好,

你好,

我是约翰,

你好,你好,我是约翰,现在想象

你的名字是爱子,

说嗨 你好吗 我是 Aiko

嗨 你好吗 我是 Michael 现在使用

你的名字

好的 还有两件事你

首先需要知道 有一个快捷方式

可以提供你的名字

只需从最后一句中去掉 I’m

例如,自我介绍,

如果古斯塔沃只是说你好,古斯塔沃亨利沃怎么样

如果

古斯塔沃伸出手

握手,而在非常随意的情况下说这句话时,

你甚至可以放下

你好

,你怎么做剩下的

就是你的名字,这将是特别清楚的 你

需要知道的是你可以使用我

只是名字或你的名字

和姓氏一起使用

我是亨利埃丁斯

埃丁斯是亨利的姓氏同时使用

你的名字和你的姓氏

更正式一点 还可以

减少您的隐私,例如,如果人们

知道您的名字和姓氏,他们可以

更容易地在互联网上找到您,因此

奇怪的是只说出

他们的名字,而不是

在您旁边的更友好的环境中见面的人更常见

' 将学习如何告诉人们

用昵称来称呼你,就像

亨利在场景中所做的那样,

但请叫我汉克,

但请叫我

汉克 句子的其余部分

更流畅 亨利用这个来

介绍一条新信息,

这个信息改变

了他之前所说的内容,但清楚地表明

了下一个词介绍了一个礼貌的

请求,请,下一个是

使用某个名字的请求 call call

在这个词之后我

我最后是一个叫亨利汉克汉克的男人的常见昵称

请叫我

汉克句子结构是请叫我

加上你的昵称现在你试着想象

你的昵称是马特说请叫我

马特

请叫我马特现在 想象你的

昵称是 Lulu 说请叫我 Lulu

请叫我 Lulu 现在用你自己的

昵称 说请给我打电话 然后最后用

你的昵称

当你

第一次见到某人时 礼貌地

在最后说一句成语

nice to meet 你

很高兴见到你

通常两个人都会说这个或

类似的东西

现在你

很高兴见到你

现在是时候练习你的新

能力

让我们练习一下这是y 我们有机会

介绍自己 试着

通过大声说话来记住你学到和练习的

东西 这是你在美国的第一天,

你准备在这里见到你的新邻居

我们

开始你对刚认识的人说的第一件事是

我汉克你对刚认识的人说的最后一句话是什么

遇见你,干得好,你刚刚

介绍了自己,你会

多次遵循同样的模式,所以一定要

问题它真的很有用

而且它只是 这节课需要三分钟

你将学习如何

用自然英语问某人的工作是什么

当然你可以直接说你的

工作是什么 这是正确的英语 但

听起来太直接和尴尬 以

英语为母语的人几乎从不这样说

在社交场合,他们使用

不同的问题,但在我们掌握之前

,我们需要将其与一个非常

相似的问题进行比较,你在做

什么 这两个问题的区别

你在做什么和你在做什么

听起来相似但意思

不同第一个是问你

现在在做什么这一刻

你用ING动词回答它你在做什么

ng 我正在阅读 我正在看电视,

而第二个实际上是

您以什么为生的缩写版本

这就是我们用自然英语询问您的工作

的方式 让我们练习这个

问题 你做什么 你做什么

当以英语为母语的人问这个

问题时,它会很快问出来,

听起来更像你在做什么,

以便区分你在做

什么 ‘被问到你的工作是什么,所以

你会如何回答这个问题,

大家好我是Alicia这个系列将

教你一些简单的方法来用英语提问和

回答常见问题 h 这

真的很有用,在本课中只需要三

分钟,您将

学习一些新的方法来询问某人

您的名字,包括

当您

现在忘记某人的名字时可以使用的一种方法您的名字

可能是其中之一

当你开始学习英语时你学到的第一个问题

我必须告诉你,虽然

大多数以英语为母语的人

永远不会像用其他语言那样用英语说这个,

但通常更

礼貌一点当然是

避免问的最简单方法 直接的问题

是根本不问,只是

介绍自己,大多数人

介绍自己时也

会这样做 你

最后你好,我是艾丽西亚,

你好,我是艾丽西亚,你就像在

拿出我的名字艾丽西亚之前一样,

在你说完这个之后,

另一个人会告诉你他的或 她的

名字 好的 现在让我们谈谈

发生在

每个人身上的尴尬情况 你曾经见过这个

人但你

忘记了他们的名字

在这种情况下最礼貌的做法是

道歉并再次询问有一个简单的

方法可以做到这一点 这也很礼貌

对不起,你又叫什么名字 对不起,你又叫

什么名字 这句话和你叫

什么名字很相似,但

它有三个重要的区别首先

我们说对不起,

一个小小的道歉可以持续很长时间

之后我们说你叫什么名字这

就像你叫什么名字但是

我们使用过去时而不是 is 这

真的很重要因为它告诉

对方你记得见过他们

你没有忘记他或她

你刚刚忘记了名字这个小

词很重要对不起

你的名字最后我们再次添加

到最后这是另一个提示,

告诉对方你记得

学过他或她的名字b 以前,但你

现在不记得了,对不起

,你的名字又是什么,这句话

适用于正式和非正式

场合 在

正式和非正式场合都不止一次,这是

一种表达对他人的尊重或兴趣的方式,

并且可以帮助您结交

朋友。这也是

练习某人名字的好方法,因此

如果您正在与某个命名的人交谈,您就不会忘记它

例如,安妮不仅

可以说你为了好玩做什么,你可以说

你做什么,你

也可以在句子末尾加上名字

名字

太频繁,否则听起来

有点奇怪,但如果你这样练习某人的

名字,你不会忘记它,而且

人们喜欢在本课中听到自己的名字,

我们在下一课中学会了当

我们忘记某人的名字时该怎么说

coms 三分钟学习英语

最简单、最有趣的

英语学习方式 大家好 我是Alicia

这个系列解释了一些

用英语提出和回答常见问题的简单方法

它非常有用,

在本课中只需要三分钟,

您将学习一些不同的

方式人们会首先问您您

来自哪里 尽管您来自哪里可能

意味着很多事情 可能意味着

您来自哪个城市或您来自哪个

州实际上美国人一直在互相问这个问题,

以了解

对方来自美国的哪个地区

如果你想

回答这个问题,

它也可能表示

你来自哪个国家/地区

’m from

plus the country as in I’m

from Italy or I’m from Thailand 如果

你来自一个非常有名的城市或

地方,你也可以这样说,

例如我来自北京或我来自

新德里很多次,虽然美国人

不会问你来自哪个国家,

甚至在许多偶然

情况下你来自哪里,但他们会以更简单的

方式说你来自

哪里,就像你来自哪里一样,但他们会拿出

你从哪里来?

当然,

在美国和世界其他地方,

人们可能会更

间接一些,因为他们想要礼貌

地这样做,他们可能会问你是否

来自美国 他们与您见面的地方

例如,如果您在纽约遇到某人,

他们可能会问您来自哪里 纽约或者

如果您在圣地亚哥,他们可能会问

您是否来自圣地亚哥

美国的许多地方都非常多元文化,因此

以这种方式提出问题可以避免

可能是一个令人尴尬的错误,您可以

像回答哪里一样回答这个问题

你只需在前面添加一个简单的 no

例如你可以说 no plus

I’m plus nationality no I’m French or no

plus I’m from plus country no I’m from

Russia

现在是时候听取 Alicia 的建议

了 州很大

你遇到的人可能会为

他们来自的地方或地区感到非常自豪 如果你

问某人他们来自哪里,

他们可能会回答说

诸如西海岸或东海岸或

加利福尼亚或南部或中西部之类的东西

如果他们以这种方式回答,这通常

意味着他们有兴趣在本课中

更多地谈论他们所在的地区以及该地区与其他地区的

不同之处,

东西例如我有点喜欢打

如果你没有任何特殊爱好或没有任何特殊爱好现在是时候听取艾丽莎的建议了

想要具体

一点 回复的好方法

是我喜欢和我的朋友一起出去玩

我喜欢和

我的朋友出去玩等等

你可以用十个不同的短语来回答

这个问题,你好吗,我们走吧,我

很好,第一句话是我很好,如果有人

说你好吗,你可以说我很好,

试着说我很好 用一种

乐观的声音,所以你喜欢的东西,

你好吗?我很好,我感觉

很糟糕 你的或同事

会问你为什么会这样,所以如果

你想使用我感觉不好,请

确保你有 不管怎样,我已经准备好了一个解释

我的语调练习之一

语调与我可以让它成为一件好事或

不那么好事,但无论哪种方式,它

都不像一个非常病态的超级严重只是

我说的那样

很好加上谢谢你问所以如果

今天你好吗我 “我做得

很好,谢谢你,嗯,哦,这就是我会

我可能会这样做 我很困

我有点困 我没有 不知道我

只会说我困了 除非是我的一个

非常好的朋友 它是

你身边的人 你可以说我好累

我会说我超级累或者我

真的很累 一个 我觉得这

比我困了要自然一点

好,我很好,也许我会

微笑着重复一遍我很好,我很好,是的,谢谢

大家问好,欢迎回到英语

话题

再次加入我们,宝贝,所以

今天我们讨论的话题

将是你第一次见面时不应该说的话

所以请注意不要在你第一次见到某人时说这些

话或问这些问题

这可能

非常重要 它可能会

影响你与那

个人的关系很长一段时间 所以让我们开始

经典经典问题你多大了

是的约翰问了这个

问题没关系我 ike 也许我

可以看看你是否像一个大学时代的

人,你在一个大学时代的

人聚会上,每个人的

年龄都差不多,你只是

想确认你的年龄到底有多接近

我可以看到 但是在成人

世界中,你多大了就像一个经典

问题,不要问,因为有些

人可能对

自己的年龄非常敏感,无论他们觉得自己

比他们

说话的人大还是小,所以不要问 问这个问题

这是一个好主意只是一个更好的

主意不要问这个问题

即使你很好奇如果你对

某人的年龄感到好奇你是

做什么的

啊艾丽西亚你什么时候高中

毕业的 看看我在那里做了

什么

我生命中的特定点通常

发生在 18 岁左右,非常棘手,

所以 是的,避免这个问题,但是

像这样的间接问题可能会很好,

可能有用

我的第一个建议是

避免过于个人化的问题或

评论,例如

询问年龄就是一个例子,

但我认为

有很多不同的过于

个人化的问题,你可以问

,例如询问某人是否有

当你第一次见到男朋友或女朋友时

如果你看到一个看起来

怀孕的人,你问哦,你什么时候到期

,这总是很危险的事情

,但是嗯,是的,

问过于私人的问题

是你不应该做的事情 当

你第一次见到某人时,

当你认识

一个人时,你会更多地了解他们,

问更多私人

问题和分享会变得更安全 获取更多

关于您自己的个人信息,因此

您不应该例如除了

问这些问题之外,您不应该

在遇到

一个真实的人之后自愿提供有关您自己的非常个人信息,如果您

第一次分享太多个人信息是的

你遇到一个人,他也可能

有点突然

,让听的人有点惊讶,所以

这是一个非常好的观点,比如不要

分享关于你生活的所有这些信息,

这听起来太熟悉了,太快

了分享 嗯,分享太快了 绝对

不要第一次这样做,

但是是

的 我遇到过

几次人们不想明确说明的地方,所以

人们不想清楚地说出

他们所做的事情,这确实与

您所说的不同,以添加更多个人信息

项目在

您第一次见到某人时不要询问宗教或性行为,

因为这

对人们来说通常是两个非常敏感的话题,所以

如果您想认识的人继续

与某人建立关系并更好地

了解他们,也许您可以问这个

未来的事情,但

总的来说,当你第一次见到某人

时,说你是什么宗教或你的性取向不是一个好主意

,这种问题

对于你第一次见到任何人来说太个人化了,

所以这很漂亮 这很好,

不要问任何人类似的话题

我的下一件事是避免

与你刚认识的人谈论

金钱,这可能在文化

上有所不同这是我想包括这个的一个原因

是因为在某些文化中的某些

在世界的某些地方,

询问和谈论金钱是

可以接受

被认为是禁忌的英语世界 你

不应该问钱,因为这很

粗鲁 你不应该谈论

你有多少钱或你赚了多少钱,因为这

听起来像你在吹牛,而且

听起来很粗鲁 我真的记得 我

以前住在中国,

当我第一次搬到那里时,人们

会问我会见人,他们

会问我哦,你赚了多少钱

,这是第二个或第三个

问题 认识一个新人的现实

前几次我真的很

震惊,我认为这很奇怪,

但后来我了解到哦,这只是呃

,这是这个文化中更典型的问题,

但我仍然有点

不舒服,所以我

不太确定我会 ‘不确切地说出

多少钱,但另一方面,

问你这个问题的人,他们有

没有告诉你他们赚了多少

钱? 认为这是一种

好奇心 cl 屁股很有趣,嗯,这很

有趣,所以我认为这是

非常重要的一点,因为

人们再次对他们的收入非常敏感,

尤其是与

你正在与之交谈的其他人的关系,但

另一方面,如果你想

笼统地谈论金钱之类的问题 或者

某件物品的价格,比如我不知道

汽油的价格,或者你居住

的国家的房价最近上涨了

,这很好,就像

货币经济的一般话题

可以谈论但不要

不要谈论人们的薪水 不要谈论你的

奖金或你刚买的漂亮的新房子

这种事情

真的很容易讨论,

所以我想你还有一个小费

谢谢你,这类似于

你给你的一个提到不

谈论宗教或性,我有

政治或宗教,

当我想到这个时,我实际上在想一部电影引用

我记得一部电影引用了

一些东西 永远不要

谈论政治或宗教,因为你

不知道你会冒犯谁

,现在我认为这些是非常

值得讨论的重要话题,

我们应该能够

与彼此谈论政治和宗教

我们的朋友,我们的家人和

我们认识的人,但

在你第一次见到某人时提出这些话题不是一个好主意,

因为你不想

对别人形成判断,或者

基于什么形成对你的判断 你

考虑政治或宗教,所以

一旦你认识了一个人,你

希望你与某人的关系

建立在人际关系的基础上

,一旦你建立

了良好的关系,你就与某人建立了良好的关系,

那么这是一个更安全的时间 更安全的

关系来谈论诸如

政治宗教性等事情,

而不必担心有人会改变

他们对您或您的看法,

而您对别人的看法会被

完全正确地改变 这可能是一种非常

快速的方法,可以让某人感到

防御,例如,如果你

问你对这种政治局势有何看法,

这可能是一个

小问题,因为第一

个人可能不感兴趣 在

政治上,所以你可能会让他们感到

紧张,他们可能会

担心他们会冒犯你,或者

你一般不会同意他们的看法,这只会给

第一次谈话甚至

第二次谈话造成太大的压力 对话我不知道,

所以最好避免 避免

第一次与某人交谈,

如果有任何

东西,如果有任何你试图在谈话中使用的东西

,也许它并不顺利,

或者如果你有其他关于

你感觉的东西的提示 r 文化

询问是不恰当的 请

发表评论并让我们知道 十个

短语 游客永远不应该使用

第一 令人恶心的 恶心是一个

非常苛刻的术语来描述

看起来不好看的东西 你是它没有

吸引力并且 你不想

靠近它,这很恶心

,说起来很粗鲁,因为你可能会

说别人喜欢的东西

第二,我的国家最好说

你的国家更好

,当你说 ‘是一个新地方的客人,

特别是因为如果你是一名

游客,你可能

对这个新国家不太了解,所以你怎么能

真的说

一个国家比另一个国家

好 第三我宁愿回来 如果

你想回家,那就意味着你

不想再待在这里

,如果是这样的话,你为什么还要

旅行?旅行的乐趣

就是远离家乡,

体验新事物,可以这么说我

宁愿回来 k 家 你为什么要

到处旅行

某人要安静 不要使用它

这是一种不好的说法 第五 我

对你的文化不是很感兴趣

说你对

某人的文化不感兴趣可能意味着

你不够努力,因为

每个人 文化有一些有趣

的东西 无论是语言

历史 时尚

不管它是什么 总是会有

一些有趣的关于某人的

文化 第六 我不喜欢结识

新朋友说你不喜欢见面

新朋友意味着您将

错过旅行的很大一部分

,那就是

了解人们 听到他们的故事

在那个国家生活的真实感受

可以说我不喜欢结识新朋友

你输掉了 sev en 让我们

在麦当劳吃饭吧 这

可能是很多

美国人在旅行时会

在麦当劳看到的事情,因为如今麦当劳

遍布世界各地,

他们会认为这很容易我

最喜欢的旅行部分 正在尝试

不同国家的新美食,如果

你只想说让我们在麦当劳吃饭,

那意味着你将

错过尝试当地美食和

当地美食的机会,只是你

没有开阔眼界,你

永远不会 知道你最喜欢的新食物可能

只是在等待你而不被发现,

而是你去麦当劳吃了一个

8 号鸡肉三明治 无聊

无聊是一种非常不礼貌的说法

旅行,因为它

有点粗鲁的数量九个,这味道很糟糕

地说些什么味道糟糕的话说

,味道不好,它味道不可思议

你不想再吃它了

它’ 非常粗鲁,你不想

这么说,特别是如果你说话的人是

用英语为你做食物的人,我们有这个短语

不要看起来某人年轻,这

意味着不要说 yuck to

别人可能会说年轻或

美味的东西,所以你不想侮辱

别人喜欢的食物,因为

它非常粗鲁,这是一种侮辱,特别是

如果你说

为你做食物的人所以不要使用 这

句话数字 10 我要

在酒店度过一天,说你要

在酒店度过一整天意味着

你错过了探索

你付钱去的地方,看看为什么

不去 你不去那里尝试新的食物

和结识新朋友拍照爬

摩天大楼爬山去远足做

你可以做的一切来

利用在一个新的地方,

因为我保证这将是

你最好的体验之一 有
