核心对话技巧

结构清晰,分层次表达

英语对话注重逻辑性,介绍家庭时建议按“成员关系→职业/年龄→个性或兴趣”展开。

"My family has four people: my parents, my younger sister, and me. My father is a software engineer, and my mother teaches piano. My sister is 15 and loves basketball."

使用连接词增强流畅度

适当运用although, while, besides等词,避免机械列举,对比以下两种表达:

  • 基础版: "My brother is a doctor. He works in Beijing."
  • 进阶版: "My brother is a doctor, currently working in Beijing, although he plans to move to Shanghai next year."

文化差异注意事项

  • 西方对话中避免直接询问收入或婚姻状况(如"How much does your father earn?")。
  • 提及离异或单亲家庭时,可用中性表述:"I live with my mom"而非"My parents are divorced."

高频句型与场景应用
