Aubrey: 我发现通过在孩子们的测试便条上写笑话,我能够与他们建立更强的联系,这让他们在考试前感到更放松,也让他们觉得我很幽默,这对我来说是一个很大的成功。 此外,我也意识到在英语交流中,语气的运用非常重要。当别人暗示他们要开玩笑时,我需要用俏皮的语气回应,这样才能更好地与他们互动。 Lindsay: 我认为人与人之间的连接比追求完美更重要。在英语交流中,我们不应该因为害怕犯错而感到压力,而应该抓住机会去交流,因为人们更在意的是我们是否真诚地与他们建立联系,而不是我们的语法是否完美。 此外,我也认为高级英语表达的使用需要谨慎。例如,“I see how it is”这个短语,虽然可以用来表达对某事的不满,但如果使用不当,可能会适得其反,破坏人际关系。因此,我们需要根据具体的语境和语气来选择合适的表达方式。
