[1] I'm calling to practice my English.我打電話來練練口語. I'm calling to…是個打電話時常用的句型.我們來舉幾個例子:I'm calling to file a complaint.我打電話來投訴. I'm calling to book a ticket.我打電話來訂票. I'm calling to ask some information.我打電話來詢問一些情況等.
[2] That's a good name.適當?shù)目洫剬Ψ绞抢^續(xù)交談的訣竅.打電話時由于看不到對方,那就只能夸一夸對方的名字或是國家了.
[3] How do you like China so far?你覺得中國怎么樣? How do you like…?表示你覺得…怎么樣? so far表示到目前為止.
[4] Everything is dirt cheap.東西特別便宜. dirt cheap并不是又臟又便宜.在這里, dirt相當于very.表示"很,十分".
