Okay, so now we're going to look at some commonly spoken expressions.
现在我们要来看一些常见的口语中使用的短语。
These were written expressions, or you can speak them, now we're just going to look at some spoken expressions.
上面的这些是书面表达，或者你们也可以把它们用在口语中，现在我们要看的是一些口语中使用的短语。
Okay, so in the IELTS there is a speaking section where you talk to an examiner and what they're looking for is normal language use.
雅思考试有一个口语部分，你们要和一位考官交谈，而他们要找的是普通的语言用法。
So they want you to use everyday language, everyday expressions when you speak and give your opinion.
他们想要你们在讲话，表达自己的观点时使用日常语言，日常短语。
They don't really want you to use very high academic, high level, pompous language;
他们不是很希望你们使用非常高度学术性，高水平，很浮华的语言，
I don't know a better way to put it, they don't want you to use complicated language.
我也不知道该怎么形容更好了，他们不想要你们使用复杂的语言。
They want you to use everyday language when you talk to the examiner.
他们想要你们在和考官交谈时使用日常用语。
So I have here four expressions,
我这里有四个短语，
so whether you want to improve your speaking and become a better conversationalist with your friends or do well on the IELTS speaking section,
无论你们是想提高自己的口语，跟朋友更好地交谈，还是想在雅思口语部分好好表现，
these four expressions are really good for giving your opinion when you say it, not when you write it.
这四个短语在你们口头表达自己的观点的时候非常好用，但不要用在写作上哦。
So the first one I have: "If you ask me, ''
第一个短语是"If you ask me, ''。
"If you ask me, Star Trek is better than Star Wars."
比如说："If you ask me, Star Trek is better than Star Wars."（要我说，《星际迷航》比《星球大战》好看。）
Now of course that's not an academic example, they would never ask anything like that on the IELTS.
当然了，这不是学术性例子，雅思考试中永远不会问像这样的问题的。
They'd probably ask you: "Do you think books are better than movies?"
他们可能会问："Do you think books are better than movies?"（你觉得书比电影好吗？）
or "Do you think living in a city is better than living in a town?"
或者"Do you think living in a city is better than living in a town?"（你认为住在城市比住在村镇好吗？）
Another way to give your opinion: "To be honest, ''
表达观点的另一种方式是用"To be honest, ''。
"To be honest, I think living in a city is better than living in a small town."
可以说："To be honest, I think living in a city is better than living in a small town."（说实话，我认为住在城市比住在小镇好。）
"Personally speaking, I think city life has more to offer than country life."
"Personally speaking, I think city life has more to offer than country life."（就我个人来说，我认为城市生活比乡村生活更充实。）
"From what I gather, people enjoy living in a city more than they enjoy living in the country."
"From what I gather, people enjoy living in a city more than they enjoy living in the country."（据我所知，比起住在乡村，人们更喜欢住在城市。）
Okay? So these are all just spoken ways to give your opinion.
懂了吗？上面这些都是口头表达观点的方式。
