浙江省宁波市镇海区2020-2021学年九年级上学期英语第三次质量分析检测试卷
This week, we answer aquestion from a listener who writes: I work with some native speakers of English.I want to practice speaking with them so I'll improve my English. But sometimes,I get nervous, so our conversation ends quickly. How can I talk with these friendsfor a long time?
You are right. It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good.
First, remember the importanceof listening. Listen to the other person carefully. So that you can ask a follow-upquestion. For example, let's say the other person tells you, "I just got backfrom a trip to Canada". You can follow up with a question using Who, What,Where, When, Why, or How: Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite placethere? How was the food there? If you want to keep a conversation going, it's agood idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'.If the other person asks you a 'yes' or 'no' question, try to give a longer answerto help keep the conversation going. For example, a friend might ask, "Hey,have you seen the newStar Wars movie? You could just answer, "No, Ihaven't". Or, you could say more. You could answer, "No, but I plan tosee it soon. How about you?"
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you're travelling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. You may make a new friend.
OK, that's it. We wouldlike to hear from you. Please understand that we cannot answer all of the questionsour listeners send us.
